Lovely flowers agian haighr!! Oh my gosh no, I cannot seperate them all! I have close to 500 or more varieties and only divide as I do garden projects around here. this year I have been dividing Stellas and have made close to 100 of better new clumps to go into a huge dogleg shaped garden bed here. Its a hobby gone over the edge in collecting and there is three acres here in beds, but not all are prime and proper being still in the works! The stellas are dug, but in pots until we can get a day when we will plug them in. As it is I have about 500 plantings to do this year yet.

I have only divided a few other varieties out of necessity or trade where they had to be moved due to encroachment on another area not welcome in or by a request. I had so many requests this season I had to stop excepting new trades until I got caught up.. Heck no I am not caught up! That never happens it seems! And no sooner do I get somewhat caugh up, it rans and the grass needs mowing. It never ends! But we love it.


I just keep spading away.
