naming rights
My very own "madgardener", my mother died a couple weeks ago. I have inherited her
vast gardens and fortunately am able to afford her garden helper. What I would really like to do is get a golden yellow day lily named after her. Her name was Zlata which means golden in Yugoslav (where she was born). Which is the largest lily hybridizer? Does anyone know if I could buy naming rights?

I dont have an answer for you, but I am sorry you lost your mother. I hope you heal in Gods time, and that her memory lives on in those gardens you have inherited. chaz |

Does anyone know if I could buy naming rights? Ingrid Water Gardening Society (www.iwgs.org) auctioned off naming rights to a water lily -- just one, these rights having been donated by some mucklymuck in the society (Texas hybridizer Kenneth Landon) -- & the first bidder was willing to pay $2,500 -- putting the kabosh on anyone else making a bid. For daylilies I'd bet if you contacted hybridizers & made them an offer, they'd be eager to make an extra thousand dollars if you made an offer, & the name Zlata would be especially apropos. Perhaps you could contact some through the American Hemerocallis Society (www.daylilies.org) who could give you information on obtaining naming rights or at least a list of hybridizers. -paggers -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

Does anyone know if I could buy naming rights? Ingrid You can start here where most of the major [if no all] hybridizers are listed. Naming rights sometimes are sold at a fund raising auction. Those naming rights have gone quite high. On the other hand hybridizers are always looking for names. A gold daylily should be an easy flower to ask for. http://www.abacom.com/chacha/gardenHybridC.htm Tips on the big hybridizers. I know I will leave out some big ones. Pat Stamile David Kirchhoff Curt Hanson Frank Smith [new but bought a large established daylily setup] Jeff Salter John Kennebrew Jack Carpenter Rick Yost I could go on....but there are too many. Just pick a link and a name and research the site. Perhaps you can email each and make your request. Some may not name their daylilies that way but others might honor your request. Wil |

naming rights
that would possibly be Oaks Daylilies in Knoxville. I'll see if I can find
their phone number and address for you, or look in the ads in Horticulture and Fine Garden. They have their ad in both of them. Possibly in Garden Design too. They are HUGE and have all sorts of their hybrids. You'll probably be able to get them to do this. My love to you and I know your mom is at peace and gardening in a perfect place now, no weeds, no pests, just perfect and awesome flowers and bushes and trees.
