| Cameron Stern's Daylilies | |||
| Cameron’s obsession with daylilies started in middle school, and he’s been collecting, growing, and breeding them ever since. His current collection is close to 900 named cultivars, and he produces 1,000-2,000 new seedlings each year. His breeding interests vary, focusing on the unique, but emphasizes garden presence and plant quality. While his current breeding program is a small backyard operation, he’d love to one day expand the scale of his seedling patch and perhaps venture into other ornamental species. Cameron loves working with ornamental plants — they have great color and form, they have tremendous landscaping and ecological value, and perhaps above all else, they inspire. Plant breeding offers a unique creative outlet and has led Cameron to spend his undergraduate and graduate career studying plant breeding and genetics. He spent a year in New Zealand studying genetic engineering, and will be heading to Australia to study the genetics of flower color in Kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos spp.).

| Cameron writes: "GROOVY UV gets its name from the University of Vermont, where I spent the first couple years of my undergraduate degree. The flower is a diamond-dusted lavender purple with a large green throat that always gives off rather “groovy” vibes — garden visitors can’t seem to help commenting on its color. Beyond its psychedelic palette, GROOVY UV also sports a band that can be highly variable, both in intensity and pattern. This plant originates from colchicine-treated seed, but remained a diploid. While it doesn’t have the highest of bud counts, its color makes it a unique addition to the garden. Pod fertile only, but sets seed readily for me. Lots of potential." | |||
