Paul Owens Order

9 years ago

I got a couple of orders today, one from Paul Owens with a perfect bonus; he doubled the order so I got four fans.

Teresa from Roth Daylily Farm sent me Carrick Wildon which I had wanted for some time, along with Long Legged Lap Dancer and Last Picture Show; a double bonus. All my beautiful space is going to fill up, I see.

We're right with you. I am currently following a couple on the lily auction. And then I saw one of Dan Bachman's on a Facebook auction site I would love to have. And we said we were going to downsize. Haha

Kay, I thought of you today as I planted 16 lilies-some moved and some out of pots. And then just as I finished, another rain. And I thought about my orders coming in and thought "what am I doing?" And then I see your post! And thought...not alone. :)

Nancy, I have decided it is not possible for me to downsize. keep seeing these beauties, and there I go again. No Kate, you are not at all alone. The one from Paul Owens was Pigment Of Imagination. I was able to get Purple Twizzler from Dan Bachman. I really liked her photos of it, but it may not be happy here, we will see.

I have about 15 coming. Maryott's order may be small - flooded fields.

Poor Kay, losing all that wonderful space you worked so hard to attain. You just send those new ones my way, I'll take the bullet for you. Looks like you got some great ones! I had a Paul Owens seedling that was such a different color & bloomed so well. Moved it to a more prominent place, & it didn't return the next year. I think that was the only Owens daylily I've had though.

It is so hard to downsize. I have downsizes some, but it seems like I get rid of 5 or 6 and then get 3 or 4. I am actually near where I want to be for now; I've gotten rid of ones that under perform except 4 or 5 favorites and a few still on probation. I have spaces for all that are coming this fall and a few extra empty spots for "emergencies" :)

Well I was down to about 7 or 8 more in the vanishing bed, but the new bed (ld iris bed) is a little more than 8' X 22''. I still have about a scant third of the bed to dig out and weed and prepare for planting, but with my" leaving here" and My new space, I should have enough room for the newbys... but there is always next year; and Debra wasn't able to post a lot because of here dear mother's health decline, so she didn't :help me find as many that I had to have as usual. I ws enabled by others those and Nancy and Avelon gave me the places I could buy a couple I had wanted for several years. And I did finally find Grape Twizzler that DEbra enabled me with.
