Bass and channel catfish will eat any smaller fish they can catch. So if all of the fish are the same size there is not a problem. However, if you put small goldfish in with large bass and channel catfish, they will probably get eatten.

I'm friends with the high bidder at the moment. He'll go higher too ! I'm sure he plans on using the pollen for making seed - perhaps increasing it and selling a fan...who knows. Its pretty much hit or miss with single fans blooming up here in CT. I got a SF of Gary Colby last spring - it split almost immediately, threw up 3 scapes and I used the pollen on everything but the kitchen sink. By the fall it was 3 fans plus an increase. On the other hand I had a few DF that didn't bloom at all. I often wonder too about the authenticty of some seed crosses. I've seen some really suspect listings - where the best flower is always the pod parent throughout all there listings. For example I saw Blue Hippo x something stupid like strawberry candy, etc. I try to avoid obscure sellers and stick with the reputable ones, although I do try new sellers out as well. A certain level of trust and risk is involved at the auction . When my seedlings bloom this year and they look nothing like the crosses - whos to say there not genuine? You really can't claim someone sold you a fake cross, or can you? Sorry for straying from the topic. Overall I think a daylily is only worth, what someone will pay for it :)

That is a GORGEOUS combo!! Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like Jackmanii? It's definitely of the LLF or viticella group. Yeah, that would have been me commenting on the clematis, my 2nd addiction. I remember that thread well. As I am now moving with 60+ clems in the yard, I'm having a hard time which ones are coming with & which are going to my sister. I showed her a few pics online & her jaw dropped. She'll take them all, lol! Are you Judge Nancy as in the Hansen's 08 intro 'Judge Nancy'? If so, your namesake is beautiful!

Hi Ed and Betsy -Its so great to actually hear all these accounts of rust and that other newbies are as confused as me - I still don't really know when the 'streaking' that DL's get is just snail/worm trails discoloration or might be the start of it. I pinch off what doesn't look good to me and treat, and so far I haven't seen any dusty spores yet. What I don't know is what it is when a DL leaf has a lighter green 'leopard print' like color running through it, like it lost some color but is not yellow yet. Is that the start of it also?? I'm sad Ed that it isn't recommended to use these in garden design - I'm going to work on that. Our nursery has disease resistant DL's that are very pretty - but nothing compared to these incredible crosses. I'm going to watch my high end DL's and see if any develop as more rust-resistant ones. I figure that if I have them several seasons without any hint of it, maybe I could try to use them then. Thanks again for all this time answering all this! -Chris in CA
