Here is another yellow seedling, sister to Daybreak, but darker.
Yellow Seedling
Another sister seedling.
Daybreak. I love the form of Daybreak, nice straight tall tree. Please ignore the holes in the leaves, I had a caterpillar problem earlier. These are all loaded with buds, but waaaaah, it's supposed to frost Thursday night.
they are both prety, gonna keep them both? did you say frost????
I'm going to bring in a piece of each. Yeah frost, I know that's a dirty word and I hope they are wrong. I'm almost thru hauling stuff into the Jungle House(ran out of room, stole half the fern house) and will try to pull remay over these at the house till Dee can get them.
cala what is remay?
It's sold here for tobacco seed bed cover. We use it at the nursery for frost protection, mostly in the sping.
Very pretty!
Wow beauties Cala. What else would we expect from the Yellow Queen.
White ones???
Sure hope not! You need some food coloring??
Forgot to tell you...these bright yellow ones are beauties

you had an s in there......
looks like a good price.
Another beauty.Does this one change to orange or does it keep the yellow color as it matures?
Too Funny, but white is good, just tell them it is very very light yellow. David is going to look for another color in the Brazilian Cloak.
Kell, that looks like it. Ours is 9ftX100ft, costs less than $20, but we get it at the Farmer's Co-op. They are mostly one year use, maybe 2 years if you take care of it.
G2S, they stay yellow, no orange at all.
Cala...very pretty yellows..do all 3 grow well and bloom well?
they are both very pretty yellows. now my usual question: fragrant?
Very pretty yellows.
Very pretty Susie. How many brugs do you grow to bloom size each year? You must be kept busy just watering.
Brugcrazy, these I thought were Dr Seuss X suaveolens, but the tag is so faded, I was mostly guessing. The first flush of blooms one each was white, the second and third were yellow. I can't remember if they were fragrant. I've got so many blooming right now, I just didn't notice. I'll go out in the morning and see.
Taking about tags fading.............I used permanent markers...........Sharpie and they are all faded..........Some I can't even read!!! Anyone have a better idea????
Kell, that's what I used, a sharpie. I've taken to buying the "liquid sharpie" they seem to last longer. I've tried the paint pens, they don't fade, but if things rub against them, the paint comes right off. We have since bought a thermal transfer printer for the greenhouse. It is connected to my computer, uses tags of all kinds and is fade resistant. I can print one or 1000.
Oh good Cala, I will send you my list.........LOL
pencil kell. I use cut up miniblinds with pencil and none have faded or rubbed off yet. Wish I'd used it last year.
I have been using pencil for my dirt tag, but it does smudge! but it may be the best alternative unless Cala decides to go into the label business also!!
Hmmm, now that could be a profitable business. It will print stick tags or hangie tags.(it even will put a bar code if you want, lol)
Kell... try DecoColor opaque paint marker, available at Michael's craft store. http://www.michaels.com i use ultra fine. 1 pen is $3.49. it never fade or smudge. i even tried to soak in straight bleach to test. it stays. i have some labels exposed to the sun for nearly a year. they are as good as the 1st day the labels were place on the pot.
that's the one I tried. it must be the difference in your dry climate and our humidity
Well I will give it a try!
That's the one I had too. TiG you may have hit on something, the humidity. These just peeled and chipped till there is nothing left. The thermal transfer uses a film that is melted onto the tag. You can scratch it with your fingernail or a razor, but normal wear and tear won't take it off. It wont fade, even in the humidity. The machine is only $3500 so everyone should get one, right?
The peel off china markers work good too without fading.
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cspoutdoors/dixphanchinm.html I use regular pencil most of the time. The paint pens dried up too quick on me if I hadn't use them for a while.
has anyone tried those label makers you can get at walmart, that make the raised letters? can't think of the name of it, but you hold it like a gun?
Dyno, yes, they work for a while, the color will eventually fade, but the raised letters stay there.
I haven't tried that one but I have a Dynamo(sp?) label maker that prints out the labels on a tape. It was about $30. It works good and the labels have held up great. I use it for my daylilies. The tape is more expensive than it should be - but it's worth it for a good quality permanent labels.
i have one, it is called Dymo Tag electronic label maker. comes with 2 types of tape; 1 paper for indoor use, the other one is supposed to be waterproof, for outdoor use. the problem with the waterproof label is it does not stick too well on any surface it is attached to. plus the labels are far more expensive. i tried it one time, never again!
MaVie, I think that's the one I was talking about. Lauren has one. Doesn't it also come in a manual type that you can use the plastic tape stuff in and it makes raised letters? She has something that does that too, she loves labels.
yes, that's it Cala. the paper label works good on folders. i am leery on the waterproof one. the labels does not adhere as it should, at least not on all materials.
MaVie, you are right, but I've seen them used at the Daylily farm, they stick them on metal taggie things, the kind with a metal plate on sticks. What about copper tags that you wire on, the kind you use a style to make an imprint?
