Actually, Catlady, you sent me a bunch of gourd seeds and possibly something else (I have senior moments too), and I had cuttings I was gonna send when it warmed up. We kept postponing sending the brug cuttings, til I finally told you, if it took me all year, I was gonna send you some cuttings. So now, here we are. Do you have shredded white?
I plan to mail your picasso Monday.
Let's Talk Daylilies.........
No gingerlily I don't have shredded white, but really the Picasso will even us up. Pam
Re: variegation...
When it stops raining, I'll take a picture of my "giant clump of daylilies," which includes some with variegated leaves.
I looked closer at the double/triple bloom - it is on one of the NON-variegated clumps.
Badseed - I have never "traded" before, but would be glad to share what I have! Let me get a picture posted in the next week (after the rain???) and you can see if it is truly anything you want! Wouldn't want to send you a weed! HA HA!
Does anyone have Park's Candy Lily? I have some from bareroot and some from seed - coming along nicely, but probably won't get any flowers this year, as our growing season is so short. Interesting foliage - like an iris (as one of its parents is an iris, I believe). Doesn't need much water!
Will write more later - I'm studying for a (nerve-wracking) NY State Teacher's certification exam - wish me luck.

FYI -
From a Justgardeners.com forum (about variegated daylilies)... "White Stripe of Hite's is probably the one most commercially available. I recently saw two new ones being propagated that look quite nice and one is a variegated version of the old Corky that should make it a real good landscape plant. There is also the old variegated 'Kwanso' the sterile triploid from Asia. It is nearly a weed though and I would plant it where nothing else is. It's almost bamboo!"
We have a resident candy lily aficionado here at DG. =)
I want to try the candy lily, next year. I've read a lot of good things about 'em.
And now I'm going to have to track down some variegated daylilies. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to take down a few trees to get more sun in my yard! lol.
Good luck with your exam!

I am also trying candy lilies from seeds, will have to wait until next year for blooms, I have a mix and then I have some 'Sangria'.
Marcia,
Thanks, Madison isn't awfully far but I've got a lead on someone in my are. I was visiting a friend that showed me a bouquet that her co-worker brought for her, it containe at least 5 different colors of lilies! She said "you ought to see her gardens! She takes a weeks vacation every spring to prepare beds!"
Thanx TLC!

Anybody interested in any of these crazy roadside lilies we have in our yard?
Would love to trade some of them for what you-ins have. Thanks. Buttoneer
