If not, move that to the top of your reading pile! You’ll see a number of familiar faces, as well as articles by three of our members!
Rebecca Nisley wrote a wonderful piece on our annual sale, with tips for other clubs to emulate that which we have down to a fine science. 🙂
Lori-Ann Jones submitted a detailed piece on hybridizing.
And the Szarek’s shared what has become of their high-maintenance swimming pool!
So if you haven’t already, sit down with a coffee or steaming hot cocoa and enjoy a breath of summer in the latest Region 4 offering.
Oh, and one more thing: as the CT flower show approaches, Rebecca and I will be asking for member photos that fit with our theme this year. The Cool of the Day makes us think of flowers with names that have certain key words such as cool (obviously), afternoon (got a gorgeous shot of that favorite Always Afternoon?), dawn, evening, or something with a water mention.
Also, do any of you club members have a water feature surrounded by daylilies? Please give myself or Rebecca a shout out–we want your pictures! Pretty please with sugar on top?
Here’s a list we compiled to get you thinking of what you may have. Keep in mind, we are open to any plants with names that suit, so long as you have a quality photo.
