Product Description
It's no exaggeration to say that daylilies are the premier flowering perennial. From a handful of wild species belonging to the genus Hemerocallis, breeders have produced tens of thousands of hybrids in a dazzling array of colors, patterns, and shapes. Adding to their appeal is their hardiness, ease of care, and ability to combine well with other plants. With so many daylilies currently available, a pictorial guide to the best and most exciting cultivars is essential. More than 1700 daylilies—1400 of them new to this edition—are illustrated in close-up, detailed photographs. Each photograph is accompanied by a comprehensive description that includes information on color, size, bloom season, and parentage. Also included are chapters on daylily physiology, the history of the genus, the history of daylily hybridizing, hybridization techniques, and cultivation. Peat and Petit have created an authoritative reference and essential resource for anyone—nursery professional, hybridizer, designer, or enthusiast—who wishes to explore the vast potential of these beautiful plants.

 I Want A Refund & I am Returning This Book March 22, 2010

Hugely disappointing. Poor quality all around and pretty useless in my opinion. Very poor picture quality, missing pictures, inaccurate information, etc.
If I had seen this in the store first I would never have purchased it.

The New Encyclopedia of Daylilies: More Than 1700 Outstanding Selections I was very excited to see this sequel come out from the original Encyclopedia, and I was not disappointed. The flowers and the photography were even better, although not in alphabetical order. I would recommend this book to any gardener.
 Nothing special March 14, 2009

Reading the previous review, I have to agree. I was disappointed in the lack of information & poor quality of the publication. Most of the photos are small & dull. You could mistake them for old photos, though this isn't the case due to registered date of the daylilies. The layout on some pages consisted of information on a daylily with no photo but a gap, which gave me the impression they forgot to add the photo or rushed the publication of this book. Unfortunately, I bought this book over the internet. I had hoped for more details on individual bud count, branching, hardiness etc with true to colour photos.
A Significant Advancement from the First Edition January 22, 2009

I have now purchased three copies of this outstanding book. I was alarmed when I read a review that noted poor printing quality in the copy they had. I noted the same shortcoming in the first book I received, which I bought within a week of its release. The second two were 'normal', that is, stunning! But the best part of this new edition is the expansion of sections such as the patterned eyes and the inclusion of more hybridizers' submittals, especially the 'Future Daylilies'. This is, quite simply, THE definitive book on the daylily of our day.

Looking at the photos in this book give me the wondering if I need reading glasses. Take a look at You Angel You on page 277, it is dreadful, and there are many similar examples. I am afraid this is not the kind of quality you would expect from a book of this cost. The good thing about this volume is it shows what you is happening in the daylily world and the advancement the hobby is making. The pictures though leave me feeling cheated.
