Mary Lu,

You'll probably want to consider getting the book, "A Passion For Daylilies: The Flowers And The People," by Sydney Eddison (Henry Holt and Company, 1992). It's a very nicely done book about the history of the daylily and the people who have contributed to its change from a field flower to a prima donna. Quotes galore, no problem.

Allen Lacy's book, "In A Green Shade," (Houghton Mifflin, 2000) has a short, pleasant chapter on daylilies.

Christopher Lloyd has a nice chapter on daylilies in his book, "Christopher Lloyd's Garden Flowers," (Timber Press, 2000), with plenty of fodder for quotes.

I hope this helps!

Not about daylilies exactly, but a favorite of mine -
