Our names are John & Kathy Wagner.

We each have several hobbies. Kathy enjoys needlepoint, piano, cruets and cooking and John likes raising daylilies (member of the AHS and garden is state inspected & licensed), playing on the computer, selling stuff on internet auctions.

We are full time Home missionaries with Bancroft Gospel Ministries here in our home town of Kingsport, TN.
BGM has several areas of ministries. The primary focus is the summer camp. Kathy and I both grew up at the camp and met in our teen years and also got married there.  There is also a printing press which is called Faith Missions Publications where tracts are printed. These are done in three languages - Spanish, Portuguese and, of course, English. It also prints all the camp material.  I am pressman for this area of the ministry.  Kathy is the Office administrator for the ministry.

My folks got me interested in daylilies in 1997 when they invited me to a local Nursery that was holding a talk about daylilies and I started growing them myself in.1998. Right now I have appr 287 registered cultivars. I started hybridizing in 2001 and have appr 332 seedlings. My favorite types are doubles and that's my main focus in hybridizing. I'm a member of the AHS, joined January 2003,  and a member of the Tri-Cities Daylily Society. I also belong to a few other groups like The AHS email robin, The Doubles Robin, The HemChat and Tinker's Garden and I am the owner/moderator of the yahoo group DL_Images.

I am state inspected and licensed. I have never had rust.
