BABYSITTING PLANTS
Once a year, NEDS draws 10 names from a list of members not currently growing a babysitting plant who have
volunteered to grow a daylily to "babysit".
The NEDS member will be reimbursed by NEDS for the purchase price of the plant up to $100 and babysit
the plant for three years,
until which time they will dig the plant for sale at our annual August auction. The member has the benefit of enjoying
the selected plant for 3 years and agrees to allow other members of NEDS to collect pollen from this plant during
the 3 years if they desire. Hopefully, the plant will have increased its divisions by the end of the 3 years
to provide income to NEDS at the auction.
The following is a list of plants that have been acquired during the last 3 years and the members growing them:
