About 1,000 of my seeds will be grown in the Greenhouse, and about 1,000 will be grown outside. Of the seeds that are planted outside, about 1/2 of these will bloom in 10 to 12 months. If I cover the rows with plastic, then the seeds would all bloom in one year. I used to have to wait two years to see blooms, but with the competition from Florida I had to increase my speed. Even with increased speed it is still sometimes difficult to maintain equilibrium. I've learned to simply make my own conversions, cross with plants that others do not have, emphasize colors and heights, and to be "more customer friendly."<br />Bill<br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-72261828864351581132010-09-03T09:31:25.334-07:002010-09-03T09:31:25.334-07:00Dear Bill,

I seem to remember you saying you saw your daylilies bloom in about eight months which is much faster than the two year period we have to endure up here in Ohio. Sorry to be so chatty, but I love reading your blog.Paul K. Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627082184797782767noreply@blogger.com
