Daylily won't bloom
Comments (4)Syreeta.....I am wondering if they may have dried out at some point after the buds started to form......or if they may have got to much water. I've had that happen for the first year or two when I planted some of my daylilies but they seem to have stopped doing that since I put soaker hoses down. Of course this year I haven't had to use the soakers much. My daylilies are all full of buds or blooms, except for the strawberry candy...it bloomed last year but not even a bud on it this year.....Hmmm :( I have another strawberry candy in the garden on the other side...I will have to check that one....today. I was at a nursery Thursday and saw a daylily blooming..it was so pretty.......I even considered buying it....but I didn't. DH pointed out last evening that I have that one.......it opened its first bloom. Haha. Good thing I didn't buy another. LOL. Sierra...See MoreDaylily buds won't open
Comments (5)Thanks for this really excellent advice, wildbirds! I did some research and am going to deadhead these seed pods. I hope I can get some more blooms! I blogged about it and posted a picture here, because I hoped people could confirm they are seed pods. http://plantkiller.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/dead-head-daylilies/ But then I found a really great little set of instructions with pictures at the URL below. I am posting it in case anyone else has this question! Thanks again! Here is a link that might be useful: Life and Lawns...See MoreBuying a hosta because of the name
Comments (10)LOL, "Lowered Expectations". Maybe we should have a thread about renaming hostas. Mine are: Fire and Ice: "One Eyed Wonder" I've had the darned thing for YEARS, and it still only has one eye! I've moved it several times, but it just won't grow. Whirlwind: "Shrinking Violet" - Mine just kept getting smaller and smaller, until it finally disappeared. Stained Glass: "Slug Buffet" - Yeah, I know I can take steps to prevent that, but jeez...it's like a nightclub for slugs! Frances Williams: "Burn Unit" - 'nuff said....See MoreWhat do you think?

Comments (130)Silver Quite interesting reading. I have thought about EX and how he must feel about DD, or any woman that has been in his life. I do understand the conceptual thinking behind the term "limerance". I had a man that I felt that way about once. I never told him, figuring that if he felt anything for me he would approach me. There were a few mixed signals, I thought but he never made an attempt that was something that I knew for sure showed he was interested in me. He had enough chances to do that and he didn't. He thought of me as a friend or sister I guess. Or he would have gone for a little "roll in the hay" if I would have. He even introduced me to a girlfriend that he began dating and ended up getting her pregnant and they later married. Ouch! With EX's past ( if what he has said is true ) he undoubtedly has great fear of rejection. Again, if what he says is true, he wanted my DD to stay with him, build a future with him and he wanted a family with us. There are too many things though that are negatives to the success of their relationship that he is completely out of touch with which makes me think that he has a break with normal thought processes. This is evident with other actions...his extensive lying and his criminal behavior. My DD did not want to marry or have children ( my goodness, she is only 20 ) and he did. Very much in fact. I don't know that she will ever change her mind but he had said that he would rather have had her and no kids than to not have her at all. I don't know that it would have been something he could have easily lived with though. The age difference is something that was too vast....11 years...when dealing with her age group. Had they met when she was in her 30's or 40's or older then it would not have been as big a deal. I am sorry for him when it comes to honest, heartfelt feelings that he might have had for my DD. The fact that he could install such fear ( and continues to do so ) and the fact that he has told so many lies negates all of that though. It sucks to be rejected. Our family histories have a lot to do with whether or not we can process the rejection in a healthy way. Most of us have been and some of us have stepped over a line while dealing with it that we cringe at after having healed a bit. It is important to teach our kids that when they deal with peers or a romantic interest people have a right to reject them. In the long run it is for the best. I don't know how much EX has control over when it comes to his emotions about the breakup. I am sorry that I can't talk to him. It just can't happen. I want him to get help and to go onto have a happy life. More importantly though I want him to leave my DD alone and let her move on. Thanks for the thread and the link Silversword....See Moreanniegolden
