Vela: See my post above re: Munsons. Munson was a famous hybridizer who really failed to get major recognition until after his death around the year 2000. His daylilies and hybridizing efforts are the basis of many of the new cutting edge daylilies that have all the wonderful watermarks and eyes. He also had a flair for the simple elegant look in some daylilies such as Lilac Snow shown above. With that being said, a large group of people like myself and several others on here started collecting his daylilies before they are lost forever. Some of us are using them in our own hybridizing efforts as the incredible gene pool he created has been barely been touched. I have been looking at some catalogs from Daylily Discounters that another poster so generously sent me so I can scan them.. Some are lost forever such as Roadmaster I am afraid. I am about to start scanning them now that I can breathe again (Daylilies are winding down and my son is all graduated from High School) so I can get them back to her. I will post a link to my PictureTrail Account when completed once I figure out what to scan and post there. The earlier Daylily Discounters catalogs mixed them in with others so I will need to be selective as I do not have much more room on that account!! LOL

I agree with Rick. 1 and 6 are the pretties but I also like J T Davis which I don't have. I have a 3rd rebloom coming on HBHMB and some new scapes coming on some of the others. I also have a seedling that should have bloomed but didn't. I have a scape on her now! I wonder if it's because of the lack of rain or if she is going to be that late...Hmmmm!! Food for thought...Ellie

Ann...we got several nice rains during the last couple of weeks of July....almost 2 inches on the 26th so I guess that's really helped my dl's along too. I don't water with city water though....have a well on my place that I use to irrigate my garden, but even that is not as good as a rain. Glad you all like my CG....it's rebloom is much more vibrant than it's first bloom. Looks like I'll be having more rebloom for a while longer, saw a couple of new scapes popping up on some this morning. It's been a great dl season for me this year. :) Jan

Hi Ken, I followed most of your advice for my lasagna bed except I started it early this spring and it is finally done. I was showing some of my pictures to a few of my Round Robin friends and they were hoping for some very good directions to go with it and I came back to find this post and your pictures are all gone! Your pictures were so much better than mine so I was wondering if you could repost them? I sprayed on roundup in an area that was about 40 by 10, followed by a layer of straw that I got on freecycle, next was my compost layer of all my wonderfully decomposed grass clippings, leaves and other organic material from the last several years, then my topsoil/humus layer that we got from the city, finally the top layer of mulch which also came from the city. This was a very cheap project for us to do since most of the materials were on hand or came from the city services department. Almost all of the plants I used are divisions from my yard, plants received in trades and seedlings that I grew in winter sowing containers. I took pictures of my progress but didn't take them for the first few steps. Only from the compost layer and after. Your pictures were an inspiration to me from the laying out the design pictures to the finished product. Thanks for being such a great influence!
