Dear Daylily Friends,

Where has time gone? I find it so hard to believe that we planted our first daylily almost 11 years ago and soon after officially became Ric-A-Tee! As we enter 2010 we hope to meet and make many new friends! Please make plans to stop and see us if you’re in the neighborhood. We’d love to meet you! The gardens are open Wednesday through Saturday during bloom season. If you are traveling and want to visit at a different time, please call ahead. We will be glad to arrange a time for you to visit. Ric and I look forward to seeing our old friends and meeting many new ones!

We are inspected by the Alabama Dept. Of Agriculture and guarantee our plants to be healthy and true to name. If for any reason you are dissatisfied, do not plant them. Contact us right away for a cheerful replacement or refund. You are important to us and we want you to be repeat customers so making sure you are pleased with your order is our number one priority!

No minimum order is required. Be sure to give us your requested shipping date and a long list of bonus or substitution plants. We will ship on Monday and Tuesday. With shipping fees continuing to rise we are no longer going to be able to offer free shipping. We are not in the business to make money on shipping fees and will charge as close to actual shipping as we can. Shipping rates are listed on the 2010 order form.

We also offer gift certificates. What a wonderful gift they make for that “special gardener” in your life.

TO OUR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: Thank you! It was such a fun year getting to “meet” so many new customers from all over Canada. Thanks so much for your support and business! We treasure you! The phytos at this time are free and shipping rates will be as close to cost as possible. We had fairly good success shipping USPS to Canada this year. We will continue to ship UPS or USPS. UPS rates have gone sky high, so I won’t be so quick to recommend them any longer. Your shipment will arrive much faster, but at a pretty high fee. As we have learned, the daylilies are pretty hardy and can sit for several days in a box as long as they are dry before shipping.

Please note: there is a link to our catalog on the home page of the website. If you would rather curl up in your easy chair to peruse our catalog simply click on the “catalog” image and you will be able to print the entire list in pdf format. I will also be more than happy to send you a printed copy.

What wonderful friends we have been blessed with all because of a beautiful flower called the daylily.

Michaela, I so appreciate all your hard work, time and originality you put into our website! Thanks so much my friend! Be sure to check out Fairyscape Daylilies on our links page.

 HAPPY GARDENING,

Ric and Tee
