San Antonio Daylily Society History
Dana Jo Griffin, San Antonio Daylily Society, Historian
Updated 2/1/2008

The San Antonio Hemerocallis Society was organized May 19, 1968. The name was changed to the San Antonio Daylily Society on September 24, 1982.  There were 25 Charter members. Some of our club's Life Members were Mary Conrad, Col. Michael Conrad, Margaret Kane, Gladys McDonald, Cora Offer, and Mary Smith, all of whom are deceased. We now have only three life members Dana Jo Griffin, Dick Griffin, and Thelma Pratts.

Meetings:

Monthly meetings are held at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens Library, at 2:00 p.m. on the third Sundays.  There is no meeting in May or December. May is the month for our garden tours, flower show, and plant sale. December is the month for our Christmas party and installation of officers.

Activities:

Botanical Gardens Daylily Bed

Our club maintains a daylily bed at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens with a good variety of plants that tolerate our Texas heat well, including all forms, sizes and colors.

Publication

The Scape is our club newsletter, published monthly and sent to members and interested parties.
