| + | |I've always had a strong interest in botany and gardening. I used to work for Cornell's Bailey Hortorium, caring for their live botanical collection of several thousand species. [http://world.std.com/~mhuben/garden.html My home garden has a bit over 300 varieties of perennials and shrubs.] | ||

| + | |[http://hubendaylilies.blogspot.com Daylilies are my major garden interest.] While I refuse to be so smitten that I myopically class other perennials as "companion plants", I've built a medium size assortment (400) for garden pleasure and hybridizing. I've always wanted to hybridize again, and daylilies are such a no-care and simple group to work with that I could not resist. I currently have about 3000 seedlings, 1000 from each of the past 3 years. | ||
