Your flats would work, I just thought of pots because they are smaller. Flats may work better because they would stay warmer... hmmm good idea! I get the soil moist, like seed starting moist, and then wait until I see the leaves emerge before I water again, because of rot issues. Because I start mine in June outside they really don't do much until July. I would love to start them inside but I just don't have the room. You could even start them now, just keep them warm, A sunny window would work if they only get diffused light. They are so beautiful and their color is great in the shade. I actually keep them in nursery (black pots) to keep the roots warm, and tuck them in between my hostas in the yard. I always catch myself moving them around and creating unique 'spaces' with them.

Looking to trade any item on my list for cannas or caladiums.

Hi Maureen, I have a few things that look tropical. I have a coupple of different kinds of banana trees, elephant ears, cannas, brugmansia, and several different kind of vines. Email me and let's see if we can work up a trade. I too am turning my place into what I call my own tropical paradise. I have a 35 acre non working farm so I have plenty of space, lots of creekbeds and several ponds. I'm in the process of making neat little paths and trails with plants tucked in along the way. It's alot of work, but I'm enjoying it so much. I too have a few daylilies but could always use some more since I have sooooooo much land I'm trying to turn into a lush tropical looking place. Hope to hear from you soon. Marian
