There are countless ways to enjoy the wonderful daylily. Photographers, writers, collectors, painters, landscapers, designers, website creators, authors, editors, auditors, planners, judges, teachers, administrators, speakers, donators, growers, sellers, and ambassadors all cherish the diversity and delight that a daylily brings to the perennial garden.
We buy and sell them in all sorts of ways...
We can sit in dark rooms and listen to hours of lecture on them...
We show them in designs, in so many creative ways...
We tour gardens all over the world as a group - learning together. Getting stuck on buses together, sitting around pools together, sharing a laugh over a good gumbo...
There are many ways to love daylilies. It takes many different kinds of people to keep our daylily universe humming along.
Make sure you search for "daylilies" on Facebook and join some of the groups out there that are sharing photos and stories every day - every minute - about our favorite flower from all over the globe.

The American Hemerocallis Society organizes almost 10,000 people around the daylily. They provide sales, shows, symposiums, and tours all over the country.
Local daylily clubs bring in speakers who share their passion for growing daylilies. Some lecture on photographing them, growing them, hybridizing them or collecting them.
The best thing you can do to fuel your daylily love is to plan to visit an AHS Display Garden this summer. Find them all here and make some plans!
Jump in when you can, in whatever way makes your heart flutter.
