Our 2022 Daylily Show was called “Moments in Time” and was held on Saturday, May 28th in the Garden Center at Zilker. This year’s Show was chaired by Beth Collier and Mike Peppers - who did an outstanding job! We exhibited 96 scapes for the Horticulture division and 12 lovely displays for the Design division. We also brought in 150 clumps (mostly Stout or Award of Merit winning cultivars) for sale to the public.

Tom Ellison captured Best in Show with “Coffee to Go” and Jerre Threatte brought home the Sweepstakes Award. The Horticulture Division section winners were: Section 1 (extra-large): “Big Flat Floozy” from Jerre Threatte; Section 2 (large): “Jared Timothy Bell” from Jerre Threatte; Section 3 (small): “Coffee to Go” from Tom Ellison; Section 4 (miniature): “Texas Cherry” from Tom Ellison; Section 5 (double, multiform, polymerous): “Gerrie Frankenberger” from Jerre Threatte; Section 6 (spider): “Laughing Skies” from Michael Peppers; Section 7 (unusual form): “Ogeechee Boss Lady” from Jerre Threatte; and finally Section 9 (seedling): Skottie O’Mahony.

Velia Sanchez-Ruiz received the Tri-Color Award for her design in Class C (Twilight), as well as placing first for her designs in Class A (Sunrise) and B (Sunset).

Congratulations to all of the winners and thanks to all of the volunteers who helped stage the Show!
