I just got an order ready to go after getting my catalog this week. I'm supposed to be downsizing, but I couldn't resist. Dan Hansen is really taking daylilies in lots of new directions. With the economy so bad and nothing else worth investing in, I'm buying daylilies. None of the 2009 intros bedazzled me, but I bought a couple of intros from 2007 and 2008, plus one of the bargain basement specials. Gee, I hope this helped. LOL

lady bugs aka lady beetles

The Asian Lady Beetles, aka Lady Bugs, natural winter habiitat is caves in the hillsides of Asia and when they were imported here they found our houses were a good substitute for that, so they find a means of entry that does not need to be very large and spend the winter hibernating between the inside and outside walls of your house. On nice sunny days that warmth in that space may awaken some and they find their way inside your house. Some people claim to have been bitten by them and while I have had them crawl on my bare arms I have never been bitten by a Lady Beetle, during the winter or during the summer. Those Lady Beetles that are in your house can be captured, placed in a container (breathable but tight enough to contain them), and that container can be placed back in a sheltered but cold place for them to finish their hibernation.

I have Fickle Lady off your list here in Central IL zone 5 and it does okay so far. I purchased it at a local farm as a pretty good sized clump a couple years ago. Two winters went fine, this one will be a test for most of my evergreens and semi-evergreens, it was a low of -20 this morning but I have snow cover and it was present before the really cold hit. I have my fingers crossed, but during a 'normal' winter with a few '0' temps days I usually have not had any problems and I am sure to get any planting in long before fall and have mulch and leaves in the beds.

Is this a lady bug?
Q
Comments (6)
My apologies for latching on to this thread, but I learn so much from the Gardenweb forums. Does anyone recognize this? They're about the same size as the regular ladybugs I'm familiar with. When I transferred a couple to a plastic bottle, they started to crawl up the sides rather than fly away.

Lady bugs dying?!
Q
Comments (5)
Yes, they will seem dead or dying while in the pupal stage, but then after a few days, they will finish pupating and will get busy feeding. It can take from a few days to almost two weeks, and I don't know why there is such a big difference in how quickly or slowly they complete the process.

Love the catalog of all the daylilies.Also was impressed that they put a disclaimer that the pics were not "touched up". Nice to know.
Only wished they could have been able to put a short description on each of the past intros. Now waiting for their website update to be completed so I can do some looking and wishing.

I bought Ned's 2008 collection last year from Dan. Dan is so generous, new intro's were 4-5 fans.
