Re: Pictures

Thanks, Betsy. I think I'm going to try it. Get one high-priced hybrid that really appeals to me and see if I can grow it in a pot. Do you think I should try something larger than a 16 inch pot?

Hi Jim,
I am really far behind in my reading, and I have been growing Stella
D'ORO daylilies in a 16" container with monarda and fragaria. I cannot say
that it performs as well as if it were in the ground. Stella is supposed to
bloom all summer but I rarely get more than two flowering stalks.
It may not be worth growing in a pot if you only get a few weeks of bloom.

Great daylilies, Chris. I've always been very fond of them, and have
tried them a few times here. But they seem ill-equipped to compete in
this environment and so become a high-maintenance plant. Maybe I should
try them one more time--but this time in pots. Anyone growing them in
pots? Or will I be the lead investigator on a research project?

Whoo-- that was some affair there! Thanks for sharing! Seems you had a
good turn out for this event.

Boy- are you daylilies nice!.... many are not common around here, that
is for sure!

I had to post some daylily pictures on my Yahoo site and I thought
that
you
might enjoy seeing some of the cultivars that I'm growing. Since our
club
sale, my count has topped 360 varieties!

There are also photos from my garden club's flower show that some may
enjoy
(especially Auralie). Someday I'll get the daylily show on the web!
I've
visited some great public gardens this summer. I should post pictures
of 
them sometime.  Clark Gardens in Albertson, NY is wonderful (are you
listening Eva?).

Auralie, are you involved with the Second District Flower show in
October?
I may enter the hort division if I can find the time!

Chris
