2:00 pm -- "Hybridizing Daylilies" with Hybridizer Bob Faulkner -- Valleytown Cultural Arts Center

"While I am mainly known for my daylily hybridizing over the past 15 years, as a side I truly love all kinds of plants. What gets my attention the most is a plant other people haven't seen, that will live in my zone 5 garden."

"I live on two acres of fertile ground, on it there is a barn, two pigeon lofts and the house, which was built in 1834."

"My main objective in daylilies was to improve on a fairly untapped genetic trait called 'patterning'. You could imagine a face of a pansy on a daylily. These previously showed up by 'accident' in peoples' breeding programs, but I thought they were the prettiest daylilies out there. So in 2000 I began to breed strictly for patterning. Either I would be successful, or I would never be known, but I would have at least followed my passion."

"Fast forward to 2011 and I am known as the pattern guy in the kingdom of daylilies, and my success has been very rewarding."

"But besides daylilies I love anything that grows. I consider all plants to be living miracles and they simply fascinate me. I planted my first tree at the age of 6, a Colorado blue spruce and it still lives on my property, my childhood home which I bought when my parents passed away. It is now approximately 60 feet tall and going strong."

"The program will consist of various types of plant material and trees and a few annuals, mostly things you don't see every day, and the last 10 minutes or so Faulkner will give a quick daylily synopsis to let people know what are the latest trends and the types of daylilies that are available in today's market."
