The Rappahannock County Garden Club held its monthly meeting July 19 at the Washington fire hall.
The program featured Mrs. Jeanie Cate, a daylily and peony grower whose nursery is near Etlan in Madison County.
Mrs. Cate brought 15 late blooming daylilies from her garden, as well as two flower arrangements using daylilies and a salad with edible daylily blooms. She explained that daylilies are easy to grow in almost any location, but like full sun best.
They can tolerate dry conditions, but appreciate our clay soils 'amended with compost, peat moss and mulch. Daylilies are not bothered by insects, but old foliage should be cleaned up in the fall to avoid slugs and thrips.
Mrs. Cate also showed slides of several recent daylily introductions.
Several club members submitted flower arrangements for judging. DeEtte Axelson and Betty Wood were awarded blue ribbons as advanced exhibitors, as was Janet Eastham as a novice.
Carol Miller and Joanne Tepper were awarded blue ribbons for their horticulture entries in the daylily category, as were Mary Priest and Lucia Kilby in the lily category and Mary Revercomb, Sandra Anderson and Betty Wood for their vegetable entries of cucumbers, beans and peppers.
President Lucia Kilby presided over the business meeting. Announcement was made that the Greens Workshop will be Dec. 4, 5 and 6. Helen Smith reported on the red-winged blackbird.
