I am dearly interested in all your seeds except the salsa mix. lol lol however I dont have any plants yet.... I do have an iris (pink)....... I have some anemone & windflower bulbs... Shawn

Heh heh, maybe I should write some Harlikin Romance novels huh? I looked around and found that it is P. Aureosulcata Harbin, I noticed some of the culms were crooked at the base and the shoots on the healthy plants looked alot like Aureocaulis. The only culm is totally toast so I am hoping it has enough strength left to send up one more this year or it may be curtains, hopefully not the case.

I don't think spot treating is going to give one an attractive wildflower meadow. Its going to look clumpy - IMPO. And most bulbs are not native, not sure if that is important to your planting or not. Round up is not as safe as claimed above. IT can hurt animals, particularly fish and amphibians, when not used correctly. I do think roundup is safer than most other herbicide alternatives, but it needs to be used wisely and in accordance with directions. If you are starting with lawn, I would either smother it with newspapers and mulch and plant the area in plugs. Or I would kill the area with round up, wait a few weeks, mow the dead turf off and then overseed the area with a quality wildflower mixture, right into the dead turf. You can get quality seed mixtures from places like Prairie Nursery, Prairie Moon Nursery and Ion Exchange. Those are US sources, you may be able to find a Canadian equivalent. The Prairie Nursery website contains some good instructions on how to prepare a site. I would suggest you read that also.

peren, I believe your right, that picture might just be a Lilium. The pictures I used in the post were merely for representation purposes, my bad.. I believe the first picture, and the daylilies I kept referring to were Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus. (I know the difference between Lilium and Hemerocallis, just a bad choice of pic :) signet, you have to click the links in green to see the pictures. Ed, I think your right about em being Hemerocallis fulva. Very interesting that their sterile and after reading up on em, it makes sense that the whole community was sharing em at one time, they might of been the only strain around for our climate back then, and possibly the only Hemerocallis being sold for our climate at the time. (zone 3a) I'm gonna have to take a better look at them this year. In any event, they would of been a huge game changer for the world of cottage garden perennials at the time. Very hardy plants, and I can really see why the community took to em.
