Daylily Orders 2009

17 years ago

Hello Far North Forum,

Just wondering if any of you have received any Daylily orders yet? None here - but I'm not quite ready for them anyways. I have heard from Gryphon Gardens in Guelph and my Mom is picking them up later this week and bringing them on Mother's Day. It sounds like most places have started digging so the fun should start soon!!

Have you all started hardening off your seedings yet or is it still too early for that too? I have had some out and in for about 4 weeks now and finally brought everything else up from the basement today. I know I will have to move them in many times yet but am sick of them down there and they are getting so tall.

I enjoy reading about your weather and gardening trials. The daylily forum is pretty southern based and the gardening in Canada forum is not too active. You guys are the best and busiest gardeners in Canada!

Hope you get lots of bonuses and your orders arrive quickly and in great condition!

Debbie

Hi Debbie, I got one small order in today from Hawkvalley.

4 Dan Bachman Seedlings
1) WATCHYL LAVENDER BLUE x [(SDLG X LAVENDER HANDLEBARS) X LORITA WADSWORTH]
2) [(PEACOCK MAIDEN X KINDLY LIGHT) X (DEVILS ADVOCATE X TRAHLYTA)] X SKINWALKER
3) ITSY BITSY SPIDER x [IT'S SOUL TIME X (IT'S SOUL TIME X BORN YESTERDAY)]
4) BEWARE THE WIZARD X (PRAGUE SPRING X RACHEL MY LOVE)

REETE PETITE SF (BONUS)

All my seedlings have been in the unheated greenhouse for a couple of weeks now. In a week or so, they'll go out on the tables outdoors and then transplanted in the holding garden.

Hi Sharon,
So you ordered these seedlings from Hawkvalley? Sounds interesting. Are they ones he started as seeds and has seen bloom? He must have dug them the Saturday we got the bad storm. It was a beautiful day until about 4pm. Are you able to plant them yet?

No, these seedlings were sold to Joe from Dan B, and then he sold me the extras as good fair 2/3 size fans, they have not bloomed yet so it will be quite the surprise this year or next year if they bloom. ;)

I've potted them up and will wait till to plant them around May long weekend.

I have so many seedlings myself, I might have to sell them before the bloom too. LOL

Hi Sharon,
These seedlings are really getting around! They are quite complicated crosses aren't they? I wonder how Joe knew which ones to sell. I think it would be difficult to find out you sold the best ones! Hope yours turn out great!
