Nature’s Delights
Martin and Lydia Kamensky

We have daylilies blooming from mid May until frost in October. Extra early cultivars are first to bloom; early cultivars bloom in June. Peak blooming season in our garden
is mid July. Late cultivars bloom late August and September. Rebloomers are the last ones to bloom. We are happy to have visitors, but please call before you come.

Our efforts in hybridizing have been in the pursuit of hardy northern rebloomers. Some cultivars that we introduced are the result of three to four generations of hybridizing from the original STELLA DE ORO.We are getting some wonderful  rebloom in melons, pinks, lavenders and eyed
daylilies.Recently we added spiders and unusual forms to our program.

BY THE GOLDEN RULE  (Kamensky, 2005)

Martin Kamensky was awarded the 2009 Englerth Award for an outstanding seedling as voted on by tour attendees of the
Region 2 Summer Meeting in Naperville, Illinois.  

The 2009 entries were amazing and diverse, and Martin's
seedling was chosen as the winner. 
This is an outstanding accomplishment.   
Since 1987, Region 2 hybridizers have
competed for the Englerth Award for Hybridizing
Excellence.  The purpose of this award is to encourage and
promote Region 2 hybridizers.  The award is named in
memory of Lawrence and Winifred Englerth of Hopkins, MI.  
Winifred was known for introducing daylilies with high bud
count such as ‘Mini Minx’, ‘Skippy Skeezix’ and ‘Pinkie
Pinkerton’.  The award medallions have been donated by
John and Geraldine Couturier, who now reside in Region 10.  
Each medallion is engraved with the winner’s name.
