congrats! i held off on a lot of daylily orders this year (not all!) waiting to see how some of the ones from last year do....hopefully i can be patient :-)

Brenda ~ I always plant late arriving irses in pots and overwinter in the house. This year I have MANY! I also got the 2 collections from Botanus and 4 from Vesey's. I usually purchase my irses from Trail's End or Chuck and have many from both of them that arrived in August. Ann just sent me 5 I was looking for as a gift for the puppy they adopted from my pack, I'm assuming....;). I much prefer fresh dug early to shriveled up late. =:> My main concern was the warm weather and the tulips. We are having a very late summer here. :/ I received these ones from McFayden's Visiting Royalty Raven Girl Exclusivity Rio Rojo Vesey's- 2 Rustler, Pagan Dance and Ziggy. :) Wonder what is up with McFayden's?

And, you are going to love Fujibotan for more reasons than one. It is known for its double flowers, which are not fragrant. However, it is also a very pretty plant. I've really enjoyed having it in my garden. No problems with slugs at all. The flower scapes are extremely tall, and I had to clip them together like a teepee, and this being their first year blooming for me, I was excited to see they really do have doubled flowers. In fact, some of the first blooms looked to be TRIPLE. But, let's just be happy with the pale lavender double flowers. And 5 nice scapes. On Stage is always a favorite, beautiful leaf pattern, and the color is fantastic.....my favorite kind of variegation.

first ... nice to see someone pot up .. and protect ... leafed out deliveries from out of zone ... kudos ... why do you have to wait to spray .... whats wind have to do with it ... take you sprayer to pavement.. fill with water ... and find out how LITTLE pressure you need to create DROPS .. as compared to mist ... also use the adjuster at the tip ... get this.. drops have mass.. and gravity dictates ... i am pretty sure.. even where you are... that they fall to the ground.. rather than blown around the yard ... of course i am not talking gale force winds .... but if i waited for ONLY windless days... i would never get anything sprayed ... ken ps: if i recall... when i fill my sprayer.. to a certain level ... 25 pumps ... gets me where i want to be... and if the tip is properly adjusted.. the handle sorta vibrates .. in other words.. i can tell by feel when i have the right droplets ...
