Upcoming Meeting Information:
Michael Anders - Spreading the Pollen Around
On Thursday, January19th, Michael Anders will present an in-depth history of the beginning of the tetraploid daylily movement and how a simple, rather non-descript, 1960 diploid introduction became the 'mother plant' of so many award-winning tetraploid daylilies. Such is the background of Lavender Parade (Fay-Moldovan, 1960). Its genetics have been used by some of the most important hybridizers of today. Michael's presentation will be via Zoom starting at 7 pm..
Mike is a native of SE Texas and has lived in Findlay, OH for the past 42 years. He taught public school and college for 45 years and, while officially retired, he continues to work part-time at the University of Findlay. He has been gardening seriously for about 20 years and grows approximately 2600 daylily varieties on a half-acre urban lot. He is constantly striving to complete his collection of Moldovan introductions so do let him know if you grow any of the older ones especially.
