Victorian Garden Gerda Brooker and husband Malcom developed an interest in daylilies in 1994.  Their interest evolved into a passion.

At Victorian Gardens in Strongsville, Ohio, Gerda grows 600-800 different cultivars from many hybridizers as well as growing and evaluating hundreds of her own seedlings.

I have grown and collected daylilies for 40 years, but just started hybridizing in 2006. (no registrations yet)  After breeding horses for a number of years my philosophy continues with the old adage, “no feet no horse”, and the same goes with daylilies.  The underpinnings must be strong with a good base, followed by great branching and bud count, and then a pretty face to go along with it.  At the moment I am concentrating on miniatures and doubles, but I can’t help but dabble with all the other forms as well.

A Northeast Ohio Garden John Hric  I hybridize mainly for spiders and unusual forms.  I work with both dips and tets.  I like exploring the older cultivars to see what they have to reveal.

Dave Winter Garden  I garden on a small suburban lot and have been hybridizing daylilies since 1997.  Hybridizing is limited to diploid daylilies to keep my program from outgrowing the available garden space.  My favorite daylilies (and the original goal of my hybridizing program) are those with contrasting edges, either lighter or darker but no eyes.  My daylilies also tend towards pastel colors.  But other types of seedlings are also kept if they strike my fancy.  I registered my first two daylilies in 2010.
