During the CDS annual meeting held at our 2009 Summer Picnic, the club voted to
make a donation to the AHS in remembrance of a member and friend who lost his
challenge with Lou Gehrig’s disease in May, 2009. Paul Bozenhard would rarely miss
a meeting of the Connecticut Daylily Society, the New England Daylily Society, the
Hudson-Adirondack Daylily Society, and the Hudson Valley Iris & Daylily Society.
And when he was in Florida in the winter he attended meetings of the Sunbelt Daylily
Society. Perhaps this is a club membership record! After retiring, Paul had relocated
to Ellenville, New York. No distance prevented Paul from showing up to help out at a
daylily club activity. He thought nothing of driving three hours to Waltham, MA to talk
diploids with Mike Huben and Bob Sobek for ten minutes. Sleep? No problem, Paul
would pull over and have a nap in his car. A favorite story of Paul’s was the day he
was transporting a trunk load of plant pots. He had found a place to park for the night,
and was awoken to the feel of tiny feet running up his pant leg. The pots in the trunk
had inhabitants! He had little interest in ‘Tet Heads,’ his affectionate term for those
favoring tetraploids. He hybridized small flowered diploids, often growing them in
beds planted in the center of, yes, tires! The Connecticut Daylily Society is grateful
for all those little chores Paul helped out with, his reliability, for publishing our club
newsletter for several issues, and for his friendship.
At our summer picnic, Helene Ferrari announced she was introducing a daylily in
honor of Paul. Her choice is a diploid, of course, a small red spider. Mike Huben has
offered to assist Paul’s family by selecting the best of Paul’s seedlings and
monitoring their potential.
