TOPIC: DOUG BEILSTEIN, National Known Hosta Hybridizer and Co-Owner of HostaWorks, Mansfield, OH Presentation titled “REDS-THEY’RE COMING”. Beilstein first noticed hostas more than eighteen years ago. Since then, he has developed a keen interest and appreciation for the “friendship plant”. This interest led him to invest in thousands of hostas and, more recently, to devote his efforts to hybridizing them. In 2003, Doug and Mardy Beilstein started HostaWorks in order to share the fruits of their labors with other hosta enthusiasts. Their website, www.hostaworks.com, opened for business in Fall 2007. To date, Doug has registered 69 hostas with the American Hosta Society.

TOPIC: GINNY PEARCE-GARDEN PATH PERENNIALS, GRAND RAPIDS, MI
Presentation titled “HYBRIDIZING ON A SHOESTRING AND A POSTAGE STAMP”
Ginny has been a gardener all her life. Not having the funds to purchase the daylilies she yearned for in sellers' catalogs, she decided to apply her horticultural education to create her own pretty faces. Fast forward through 21 years of hybridizing, she now has 24 daylily introductions with a few more coming for 2018. She was the 2017 winner of the Region 2 Englerth Award for Hybridizing Excellence. Her hybridizing objectives are to create very hardy, robust, and northern reblooming tetraploid daylilies with large flowers of great color, substance, and form displayed as a minimum of 20 buds per well-branched scape. During her program, she will share promising seedlings along with her introductions and easy to replicate method for growing seedlings.

AUGUST 18, 2018 Toledo Botanical Garden Daylily Walk Workday and Auction From 9 am – noon, members of Black Swamp dig up, divide, and replant daylilies that are in Toledo Botanical Garden’s Daylily Walk. This is a great opportunity to learn about varieties of daylilies, the different awards, how to divide and grow them properly. You may want to park in the Bancroft parking lot.
At 12:30 PM behind the Conference Center, we have our annual Daylily Auction and Host Program. This is the time to purchase expensive daylilies at reasonable prices. Also, if you’ve been a member for two (2) or more years, you can take home a plant to baby-sit for two years, keeping one fan and returning the rest to the club for the auction.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2018 - 1 PM Toledo Botanical Garden Conference Center
TOPIC: RICHARD NORRIS – ASHWOOD GARDEN, GLOUSTER, OH Presentation titled “MOVING FORWARD AT ASHWOOD”
The talk will cover three areas: the development of the hibiscus form in diploid daylilies with sizes currently in the 9 to 10 inch range, the further development of “Super Bloom” in tetraploids, and the extension of the Substantial Evidence, no trumpet, form into tetraploids from use of conversions. Of course the timing of the talk will allow the inclusion of what we suspect will be startling new developments in the bloom season of the summer of 2018. The 2017 bloom season revealed a fair number of flowers in the hibiscus style showing size in the range of 9 to 10 inches and more.
