I have several daylilies planted all around our yard...but never have I seen one quite so beautiful as the Wynn daylily!! We have one that is yellow, trumpet-shaped, and large...but it is not called "Wynn'. Ours is a hybrid from NC. Pray tell, Cousin Joyce, where did you find this lily?

Dear Ellen, I got the "Wynn" day lily from a day lily farm in Lebanon, Ohio. The owner is Dan Backman. This is what he wrote to me about the Wynn day lily.. "The daylily WYNN was created by Olin Criswell in 1975. I do not know the significance of that name but at the time Mr Criswell lived at 4873 Almont Dr, columbus, Ohio 43224. There is no listing for Criswell in the current National Daylily roster. I wish I could help but there is no other info available. Dan Bachman" Valley Of The Daylilies website. I never did find anything else about it or how the Wynn name came about. I will try and find out more. After I got mine, I got Becky and a few others a start of it. He only had 4 left at the time and I don't know if he got/ or grew any more. There is one planted at the Wynnstay in Philadelphia. I gave it to Skip when we where there a few years ago. Here is the site where you can look. http://valleyofthedaylilies.com/ I just found that he has one called WYNNSON (Criswell 77) 24" 4.5" EM DOR Light yellow self w/green throat. It sounds about like the "Wynn". Evidently it is the son of the Wynn. The cost is $6.00. I can't wait for mine to bloom. I have all kinds of lilies. From Asiatic, Oriental and the big trumpets. I even have the old road side day lily. I love flowers of all kinds. I hope this helps out.
