SAVANNAH Club News:        
The Savannah Hemerocallis Society had its first meeting of the New Year on January 19th. at the Coastal Gardens Bamboo Farm where we all enjoyed a covered dish supper. With a relatively small group present, President Caren Blackwell conducted the Business Meeting, and announced the officers for 2006. (See list above ). Kathy Deloe gave an update on the daylily display garden at the Bamboo Farm stating that the bed was full (thanks to all those who generously donated). She also stated that the only item remaining was the concrete statuary to be purchased,  and placed in the garden. Daren Blackwell was able to locate concrete statuary of a Blue Herring bird for which the club voted to purchase. Martha Fawcett gave an update on the plans for the Regional Meeting which will be held here in Savannah on June 3-4, 2006. Everything is in order, with only a few details left to polish. We are so excited about being the host for the Spring Regional Meeting and can hardly wait  to see each of  you there.

Following the Business Meeting, we were pleased to have Charles Douglas from Brown’s Ferry Gardens in Georgetown, S.C. visit with us. He gave a wonderful slide show presentation of his garden and hybridizing program. Charles is truly an exceptional speaker, and we thoroughly enjoyed having him.  We hope that he will visit with us again soon.

The following months are going to be extremely busy for the Savannah Society. We are excited about having various speakers lined up, projects to complete, and of course preparing our gardens for our daylilies as we anxiously anticipate the arrival of spring.  We extend to each of you a warm welcome to Savannah, and invite you to come and visit us the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at the coastal gardens Bamboo Farm.
