That is why I liked BEFORE. I HAVE a lot of those extra early small yellows and am tired of them. Wouldn't mind a really extra early that looked like a real daylily :-) But really I am looking for lates and extra lates and wished they had introductions in that catagory.

Rita, The display will assuredly be worth it. I am not even thinking about anything to plant now. I too am at the point when something will have to go to get something new. And, it is very cold here. At least, it is very cold for Alabama. We should be in the low to mid thirties for lows. That is more like our highs these days. And the wind makes it worse. I'm not even thinking about gardening now. DH and I are laying a new tile floor in the kitchen, and my new French Door refrigerator came yesterday, so updating the kitchen is on my mind at the moment. But come spring (or even a few warm days) and that will change. kay

Polly if your talking to me I'd love to have a start of Moonlit Sea next year when they increase. I must say that as humans we take alot for granted. I've always had plenty of iris's to give to anyone that wanted some for years. Unfortunately, I lost most of them this spring the beds were waterlogged from all the rain. I just shudder thinking about having to live without my beloved iris smiling up at me next spring. I am trying to re-establish them the best I can. Some of the iris's I had for years and years. Some came from my grandmothers gardens and she's been dead since the 60's. Some came from Mom and she's been gone since the early 80's. Some of the iris's out of their gardens I didn't know the names of. I just knew it was grandma's or mothers. I've also ordered from Cooley's several times. I just recently got some of them in. I don't know if it was from them shipping them in the heat or what but they did not arrive in that great of shape. I did tell them to send them ASAP but they looked like they had been dug for about a month. They say the dig them the day before they put them in the mail. I can't say either way. I just know that the ones I've ordered and received from them before always looked really good. I was a little disappointed in them, it didn't look like they were worth $300.That's not alot of money unless your on a fixed income, which I am. The rhizones looked alot like the ones you can buy at Wal-mart if you know what I'm talking about. Somewhat dried out and the leaves nearly all brown. I did get them planted and they look like their all going to make it but it's still early so I don't know for sure. I will take part of the blame because I told them to mail them to me ASAP.

So glad to see another "Idahoan" here. I am also a transplant, from California about 24 years ago. My goodness, I am old!!! I am across the state, in South East Idaho, but we did live in Nampa from 2002-2007. So, I do know about your wonderful climate some. I miss it!!! You can grown anything there, with one exception, Citrus. Not bad for Idaho. Well, I hope you love the forum, I sure do. Lots to learn. Happy Gardening!! g
