I think sometimes the flower is just more important than some characteristics that we might prefer.<br /><br />I'm really proud of both daylilies.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-80100022784446529472013-04-24T12:34:35.364-07:002013-04-24T12:34:35.364-07:00Hi Paul,

I do remember several years ago that I did have some rust, and I lightly sprayed over the top for that and it was never a problem again.<br /><br />The soil that I use is just a top soil that I buy from a local supplier. It costs about $40.00 for a truck load. I do not do anything to amend the soil, but of course I do add a small amount of slow release fertilizer, Epsom salts, and Bayer tree and shrub. I start all daylilies in the Greenhouse. 2/3rd to 3/4trs go outside; about 900 stay in the Greenhouse but are put into one gallon pots.<br /><br />All seedlings are started in 3" peat pots.<br /><br />Hope this helps some.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-6408803049313264532013-04-24T08:53:42.746-07:002013-04-24T08:53:42.746-07:00Wow seedling 2-246 will take your breath away!

I'm not sure I would use it on 2-246 as it's only fault is a little on the short side too. <br /><br />MarlonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-65484834095696811902013-04-24T04:54:30.826-07:002013-04-24T04:54:30.826-07:00Bill,

(king of the doubles.)<br /><br />Got a quick question for you....I have some of my seeds planted in containers and after they germinate it would seem some either get hit with insects or just fall over and die. Do you spray your young seeds with anything and what sort of soil do you use to start your seeds? Appreciate any info. Thanks!Paul K.

It was sent out on Monday at around 4:00 p.m. The Post Office promises 2-days for delivery, and 92.6% of the time they keep their commitment.<br /><br />I am so pleased with this massive double. I know that more can be done with the conversion. This spring I will have much more pollen to use, and I should have more opportunities.<br /><br />Oh, and Little Lily Rae! The best news on the Post, and of course her "new shoes" command the title of the Post.<br /><br />Thanks for your note.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-50743668213941155192013-04-23T21:58:36.022-07:002013-04-23T21:58:36.022-07:00Hi Bill, So many beautiful seedlings...& that ...Hi Bill, So many beautiful seedlings...& that double...WOW...It was nice you had friends to wittness your "delight" of it's<br />beauty & size! <br />Enjoyed Lilly Rae modeling her new shoes....So much FUN to see them...just adorible!!
