Gorgeous photos! Thanks so much for sharing. I really like Pat's new seedling. Totally different and love the color. Josie's flower is beautiful also, but it will be a many years before it could live here I'm afraid. Can't wait to see more! Michelle

Hi Debbie, I got one small order in today from Hawkvalley. 4 Dan Bachman Seedlings 1) WATCHYL LAVENDER BLUE x [(SDLG X LAVENDER HANDLEBARS) X LORITA WADSWORTH] 2) [(PEACOCK MAIDEN X KINDLY LIGHT) X (DEVILS ADVOCATE X TRAHLYTA)] X SKINWALKER 3) ITSY BITSY SPIDER x [IT'S SOUL TIME X (IT'S SOUL TIME X BORN YESTERDAY)] 4) BEWARE THE WIZARD X (PRAGUE SPRING X RACHEL MY LOVE) REETE PETITE SF (BONUS) All my seedlings have been in the unheated greenhouse for a couple of weeks now. In a week or so, they'll go out on the tables outdoors and then transplanted in the holding garden. Sharon

I will try to answer some of the questions... fertilizer....this year, only Preen and Green in the spring on the bed. Some years I have used what is called Hooker's formula and others times Miracle Grow. I do use Preen and Green every spring on the bed. The bed contains 60 named DL's. My DH picked them all out. He also placed them in their locations. Started out trying to do by size/color, but ended up just "plunking" some of them. I did the planting. :-) At the widest part I believe the bed is about 16 feet deep. Picture #6 is Megan's Love. It was picked because our granddaughter is named Megan. I do have a lot of single bloom pictures on my web site and they are named in the picture, if anyone is interested in the name of a specific bloom. I believe I have pictures of most. I will post a link to the page below. The shape of the bed is shown quite well on another page on the web site. If you look at the links at the bottom of the daylily page, you will see a link to a page called "Other Projects". Near the bottom of the Other Projects page there is are aerial views taken before and after the bed was planted. I really don't do anything special, just let nature take its course for the most part. Some of the foliage does get kind of yucky looking some years, but as there is so much, maybe it is not so noticeable? The bed has been planted 5 years so next year I will probably have to start splitting out some of the ones that have multiplied more rapidly. Here is a link that might be useful: Daylily web page

We had multiple spells of really hot weather in March this year. Not that it didn't turn colder in between and after. But still we had unusually warm weather. I was out there working in the garden in tea shirt and that doesn't happen in March for us around here. So everything is blooming very early this year, I think becaue of the weather we had in March.
