Another beautiful seedling! Love those colors. With that determined look, Tuxie was definitely on the hunt. I once had an outside kitty that would leave half eaten bunnies at my back door.

I agree, lovely seedling! I hope you find it necessary to find another form of exercise : ) those Little furry buggars are a pain in the ...

Beautiful seedling, how is it that if something happens it is to the plant you most want to see. Of course, often as not it is me doing damage trying to pull a weed. I may have a 1st ever bloom right next to one I have had 20 years. I break a scape, it is never to the one that has 30 scapes but that new, anxiously awaited new scape. I hope the bunny departed for more hospitable territory with no gardens, just lots of clover. Maybe that narrow escape taught him something.

Shotgun time! That is one beautiful daylily! I love it. Keep on petting it and telling it how it is supposed to grow...and warn it of the big bad compost pile if it doesn't behave. Have to scare those plants sometimes.

It's become bunny central in our yard this year. Yardley's absence is really being felt. I walked up within 2 feet of a grazing baby bunny and it just looked at me and continued munching. Problem is I like rabbits, so killing one myself is out of the question. I need someone with a lend lease program on a cat. Do you think Tuxie would like a vacation here in Oklahoma?.............Maryl

I hope Peter is gone for good. We have rabbits around here, but they never bothered the daylilies, just the vegetables. Our previous dog would give chase, but the rabbit always slipped through the fence just in time. I don't know if it's Riley the dog or Henry the cat, but one of them has killed several baby rabbits this year. They have earned their keep.

Have you ever tried any rabbit repelling chemicals?

Hope he/she has taken off to richer pastures. Just a thought though . When waiting on a seedling rather than risk a bunny chewing on it , could you not temperarily drive a few small stakes around it and wrap/staple a green garbage bag to those stakes . It would at the very least confuse the rabbit .....perhaps enough to have him/her move on to chew other things instead of your much awaited seedlings?

harold 100 - After the first time the rabbit got in my seedling bed and bit four scapes off, I applied Bonide Repel. It's supposed to repel rabbits, deer, possum, groundhogs, chipmunks, you name it. The stuff smelled so foul, like rotten eggs and garlic multiplied by 100 that is sort of repelled me too. That kept him out of the seedling bed for about a week. But the recent rains we've had caused the stuff to wash off. I reapplied it the day after Peter Rabbit took that last seedling scape.

signet - I probably need to have some sort of fencing around my entire seedling bed because I wasn't waiting just for that one. I'm waiting on about five or six more scapes.

Great seedling--love the color.
