wow,Kathy, You have some very pretty daylily beds.The seedlings are very pretty.I think my favorite bloom there is that Amaryllis bloom.Its really pretty.Apparently, you are not bothered with Deer, with your seedling bed on the outside of the fence,instead of inside it.

Kathy, Thank you for sharing your gardens with us, they are beautiful! Does make me long for spring.
The Amaryllis seedling is so pretty. My Mom used to grow them outside when she lived in Texas and I love them.

I see some really nice looking daylilies in there, as pretty as any that are registered. Nice amaryllis. I crossed some amaryllis once & grew a few seedlings from it. I never grew them out to bloom though, don't remember even what happened to them. How long does it take from seed to a mature blooming amaryllis?

Wow! This is just what I needed. Those seedlings are great. As usual I'm drawn to the purple ones. Last year was my first year hybridizing and this year I hope I'll get some nice blooms. I like looking at other peoples seedling beds to see how they arrange them. Marg

I wish I was your neighbor! We are supposed to get 20 inches or more of snow tomorrow

How pretty! I love the beds, and love seeing all the blooms. I can't wait for the cold to really be all over!

How lovely,
I wish I had as much room to spread out my seedlings like yours. Your bed outside the fence is gorgeous. You havd some beauties in there. Your friends and neighbors must love you!
Here is my seedling bed in July after being planted in May, In September the same year and in July of the next year. I haven't made any selections yet and am not sure where I am going to put them when I do!

Thanks so much for sharing these photos. Your seedlings do look really nice!! your neighbors are so lucky.

Cindy,
I can't wait to see all that green again! Everything has been white here for a couple of months and we are expecting this big storm coming from Texas to dump allot of snow here. It's supposed to be windy too so not expecting a very nice evening tonight or tomorrow. I'm done my chores for this morning so sounds like a good day to stay at home.
I do have a good deal of space but not enough! My vegetables have almost disappeared and most of my strawberries too. I have more room out front but it is quite shady. I put 2 beds out there last year and will see how they do over the winter. It gets windy out there and not much snow stays on them. We have had some cool weather this winter so it will be a real test for that too.

Kathy,
you are so lucky to be able to see what seedlings look like in one season. I was impressed that quite a few of mine bloomed their second summer but many didn't so these beds will have to stay put for this year too. Then I can start culling I hope. That is what takes up so much more space-seedlings are 3 years in one spot before selection.
I would love to have your weather but then it sounds like many places in the states have had crazy weather for a couple of years at least. Makes gardening challenging but I enjoy reading about it on these forums.

Jean, You're correct...we don't have deer in our neighborhood. We have everything else, wild hogs, bears, coyotes, fox, rabbits. I think the deer are too smart to come around my daylilies. They'd wind up in the crock-pot. Glad you liked the pics.

Nancy, The amaryllis have been fun to grow. Mine are all varying shades of red, white and pink. I need to get an orange one so I can add another color.

ngraham, My amaryllis seedlings usually bloom in 3 years...but that is growing them outdoors in good conditions. I grow them 1 year in containers, then plant them in the flower beds....where they grow huge. I have a few bulbs that are the size of cantalopes!

Marg, My seedling beds have no rhyme or reason...but I'm glad you enjoyed them.

flowergirl, We've had plenty of cold weather this year, but nothing compared to what you're getting. I feel for ya!

Kay, Me too. I'm soooo ready for spring.

Cindy, Glad you enjoyed the greenery. Going through my photos always helps me through the winter months.

Debbie, Your seedling beds are wonderful! Thanks for sharing. My seedlings are spaced far apart to help reduce rust....so my weather is a mixed blessing. And not all of my seedling bloom the first year...I'd say about 60%. If they don't bloom the second year...off with their heads!

Y'all stay warm!
Kathy

If you hadn't mentioned it I would have assumed the seedlings were commercially purchased as they are just as nice. The square footage of your beds is greater than my backyard.
