I Joanne Larson 49 Woodland Drive Barrington IL 60010-1912 have just returned from Cleveland and the 12th annual Region 2 Symposium! What a great way to get a “daylily fix” in the winter! Thanks to Curt Hanson, who chaired the event again this year, and his committee, all in attendance heard great presentations, saw gorgeous new introductions, and seedlings that are definitely “beyond the edge.” The spirited auction Saturday evening, coupled with a teaser auction Friday evening, brought great prices for some of the newest cultivars. Thank you to all those hybridizers and growers who donated and to all who purchased. And, if From the Board by Joanne Larson, Region 2 Director you didn’t attend this Symposium, put it on your calendar for next year! You missed another good one! Our region, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, proudly counts 65 AHS display gardens, more than any other AHS region. If you are considering display garden status, a procedural change has been made in the application process as of 1-1- 04. Display garden applications are to be mailed to the AHS Display Garden Chairman Mary Lou Lundblade (address is in the Our region, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, proudly counts 65 AHS display gardens, more than any other AHS region. Joanne Larson The Daylily Journal). She will notify our RVP; he or his designated representative will visit your garden and write a letter of approval or disapproval to the Display Garden Chairman. Applications can be downloaded from the AHS website at http:// www.daylilies.org or you can contact Mary Lou. A major personnel change for 2004 for AHS is the resignations of Jim Brennan and Frances Gatlin as of July 1. Jim is Editor of The Daylily Journal and Frances has served in the capacity of Special Projects/Journal Production. They have given us superior publications and will be missed. A search committee was formed, and it chose Allen McLain from Region 14 as a candidate for the editor’s position. The AHS Board confirmed his appointment in October, and I’m sure that he would appreciate our support. This is the season to concentrate on our gardens, but also to take the time to visit other gardens. What better way to do this than to attend our National Convention in St. Louis, July 1-3! The tour gardens will be wonderful, but you’re in for a special treat when we go to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens. The daylily display beds there are not to be missed! If you want to travel a little farther north, the Bay Area Daylily Buds are hosting the Region 2 Summer Meeting in Green Bay, WI, July 23-25. Again, there will be the opportunity to tour beautiful gardens. Speakers will be Leo Sharp and Dan Trimmer. How about local gardens Many clubs arrange bus tours to members’ gardens during bloom time. The listing of AHS Display Gardens, which will be published in the summer issue of The Daylily Journal, is another source for possible gardens to visit. Put down your spade, find a friend to take along, and go! We need more Exhibition and Garden Judges! If you are planning to attend the national and/or regional meetings, why not sign up for the beginning clinics and workshops. If you have questions about what is involved, contact me or our liaisons—Richard Ford and Sharon Fitzpatrick.

A s we all eagerly await the coming of spring and a new bloom season, the Region Two Symposium attendees received an inspirational start for the year. This year’s Symposium was another enjoyable experience for daylily addicts who were treated to a great diversity of speakers. Thanks again to Curt Hanson, Juli Hyatt, Sharon Fitzpatrick, and Heidi Willet for their work in making it a meeting to remember. Region Two members should take notice; we had almost as many attendees from out of our region as we did from Region Two. I hope Region Two members took advantage of the e-mail auction in February. This was a very successful auction thanks to our Ways and Means Chair Nikki Schmith and the innovative program by our Regional Webmaster Don Williams. A big thank you to both Nikki and Don as well as everyone in the region who donated plants. Thanks to our editor’s hard work and the generous donations of clubs and individuals we are able to honor the many RVP Message by Ed Myers requests for more color in the newsletter. We hope you like this issue. I hope many of our Region Two members are planning to attend the Regional Summer Meeting July 23-25 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The photos and the garden descriptions tell us that we are in for an enjoyable experience in the northern part of our Region. This should be a great opportunity to see how different cultivars grow in this zone. Of course, one of the benefits of attending a Region Two Summer Meeting is to meet old and new daylily lovers and to make friendships that may last for a lifetime. As always, I would like to remind our region’s members to become an Exhibition or Garden Judge. Your region needs you, especially as Exhibition Judges, since attrition will deplete the judges we have. Please help with this important part of being an A.H.S. member and through our show displays help to educate the public to know what great flowers daylilies are. I wish you all a healthy and pleasant summer and a perfect bloom season.
