Yes it is great,but is there an archive that you can see old posts? Does anybody know? There are some I refer back to from time to time and would hate to lose them.

I love this forum! Usually post on the hydrangea one quite alot but love the pictures here! I planted a daylily garden about 30 ft long two years ago and it is is full bloom now and absolutely beautiful and I am expanding as we speak. I get many ideas from the pictures and everyone is very helpful. Too bad I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet - LOL!

No, once they drop off page 67 they are gone forever. If there are old posts you don't want to see leave simply bump them up to page one.

You can also save any post you want to "your clippings", see the upper right corner of each post.

I don't think you get the whole thread by using the clipping feature but maybe I am wrong.

what with my new camera and the blooming season just about for my garden of daylilies. I've loved checking everyone else's and sharing mine this summer. my friends and fmaily here can only discuss or see a pic of my flowers just so many times, after all. what fun to look forward to again next spring. :)

It always picks up during peak bloom anyway but you are right, I don't remember it being this active the last couple of years. Or maybe my memory is just failing me.

I really enjoy this forum because so many of you post photos. Great way to see the best of the best daylilies.

Like just now I checked and posts from this morning are at least 1/3 of the way down on page two. It was nothing like this traffic when I first started coming here this spring.

It always picks up during bloom season, but also, we've got lots of new posters this season, many of whom say they have been "lurkers" but now are posting themselves. It's good to see so many new dl folks on here. I enjoy everyones photos and posts very much.

I found out how to save whole threads that will disappear from the forum!You save the first post in "My Clippings",but first highlight and copy the rest of the thread. Click "Clip this post" and then paste the rest of the thread into the "Comments" box,then click "save to my clippings".

Betsy

Thanks Betsy, thats good to know. Plus you can always bump it up if you think other folks might still be interested in the information.

I am glad there are more people on the forum, just makes it more lively and interesting. I know that I am here more often than I am at the rose forums and that used to be my main hangout. Now that I discovered the new daylilies and got the bug really bad, I am always here!

Yes, Rita, I was thinking the same thing a few days ago. This forum and the Hosta forum seem to be moving a lightning speed! And with all the work we all have to do outside just to keep those plants looking spiffy, it's hard to keep up here.

Oh, and BTW, I am one of those former "lurkers" that decided to jump on board and join in on the comments. I have learning so.........much here from your seasoned veterans!

Julie

Yes Rita, I thought the same thing, I too am a former lurker but like so many others decided to join in. Seems much more friendly these days.

Sorry(but not much) to hear of your new addiction. All who lurk and post here are snickering, you are hooked!! Your next step will be the Lily Auction if you are not already hooked there too. Have fun

I think its great that people are now joining in. I know if I get really interested in some plant I can't just lurk because I like to talk about whats happening in my garden and my friends don't care about daylilies.

I'm really loving daylilies. After spending years growing roses, which are very nice but a lot of work, it's wonderful to be able put in a plant and not have to fret and fuss over it.

More people are finding out that daylilies are pretty, mostly low maintenance, and provide a midsummer splash of colors when other plants aren't blooming.

The trouble is -- there are so many varieties to choose from! How do you decide? Can you colonize your neighbor's yard to plant more? :-)

Cheers!

I thought the forum was slower than normal yesterday but it could have just been me as I had to sit and work at the computer most of the day so checked the forum often. You know the old saying about a watched pot never boils......

I think people are getting busy with their garden work and summer fun now. I have noticed that responses are slower to come and fewer the last few days. I try to respond to a new post if I see it has been sitting for a while,especially from a new poster,so they don't feel ignored and lose interest.

Betsy

Even though the posting of daylily flower pictures has slowed down to a crawl (end of season many areas?) this forum is still going strong.

I am pleased to see many new posters joining in, thats what its all about.

Now that peak bloom is over in many locations, you would think it would get slower around here but no way. This place is hot!

Finially gotten slower, at least in my opinion.

I'm still mostly a lurker. But hopefully next year I can get more involved in the discussion.

I'm reading all I can about-DLs too- to join the AHS is the way to go! the Robin is GREAT---much to learn--great post about breeding--I think all lists will pick up after fall cleanups--We have summer here till Nov. than the rain!!!and a little snow sometimes?????
cole from the redwoods--------

Shoot, I don't think things are slowing down here. I'm a newbie to the daylily bug. I can honestly say that there is so much information here I can hardly keep up.

I've turned in my very first order this week. I'm just so excited to get them I'm beside myself. I go to sleep dreaming about daylilies and Iris's and wake up with where I'm going to plant everything.

I would have to say that daylilies have come along way from the one's mother and grandmother had. They are beyond my wildest dreams. I can't wait till ya'll have somekind of trade, roundrobin, or something. I now have about 15 different ones. I have ordered 11 more. I'm really in love with the CANDY SERIES.

I just wonder if it's normal for someone to want all of them???? I think it's like a incurable illness. I don't know if increasing your stock will help or just turn you that much more into an addict.

I'm hooked, but can't let my husband find out. He'll kill me. He doesn't understand that a gardener is always busy and that a flower bed is NEVER FINISHED. (LOL)

Happy Gardening!
Marian

For those who want to save information on a subject print the whole thing up and put it in a book. I usually do that when there are good comments on specific daylily varieties and also different methods of feeding our plants.

I was curious so I just checked. The last post on page 67 is dated March 6th. Thats 2007, this spring. When I first started checking this forum, the old posts went out way over a year ago. Things have deffinately changed here. This is a great forum!
