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:
Interesting meetings with some great guest speakers, silent auctions, refreshments and sometimes FREE plants brought by members
