Download Free Presentations!
If you or your local daylily club have an unforeseen planning emergency with a speaker or program and need something in a pinch, we can help! Members can download presentations for their club or personal use. For FREE, you can download many presentations for your personal use. It is very easy to do.
You can also submit presentations to be shared in this way with other daylily fans. See the link on the available presentations page for more information.
AHS Hemerocallis Hybridizer/Registrant List - 1893 to Present
The AHS Hemerocallis Hybridizer/Registrant List hereafter referred to as “the List” is an accumulation of the data found in all daylily checklists dating from the first checklist of Hemerocallis published in 1949, the DCH (Descriptive Catalog of Hemerocallis Clones – 1893 to 1948) to the present.
This List is a spreadsheet that relates all hybridizer abbreviation codes to specific hybridizers and that reflects the geographic region code associated with the address used for daylily registrations. It is normally updated after each annual checklist supplement has been produced and is also annotated with hybridizer dates of death, if known. See the Explanation Sheet for further details.

The AHS Archives Fund exists to help meet the costs of the acquisition and care of historical materials relevant to Hemerocallis, and to the American Daylily Society and its people and events. Such materials may include books, newspaper and magazine articles, records of the business of the Society itself, theses and dissertations, photographic or digital documents or collections of enduring value, or other pertinent items associated with daylilies or the society. Significantly, the fund allows for the purchase of specialized software and equipment needed, but not covered in the annual budget of the Archives and History Committee.
