Bertrand Farr Silver Medal

Established in 1950 and named in honor of early daylily nurseryman Bertrand Farr, this medal recognizes individuals who have achieved outstanding success and made significant contributions in the field of daylily hybridizing. It is one of the American Hemerocallis Society’s most distinguished honors for hybridizers.

In most years, the award is presented to a single recipient, although multiple awards have occasionally been given. However, the award may only be bestowed upon an individual and cannot be shared.

Nominations may be submitted by any AHS member and should include a comprehensive review of the nominee’s accomplishments, including awards received, appearances in the Popularity Poll, and other notable achievements in daylily hybridizing.

Nominations must be received by the Awards and Honors Chair no later than September 1. Recipients are selected by secret ballot of the AHS Board of Directors at its annual Fall Board Meeting, and the award is presented at the following AHS National Convention.
