Re: HYB: CULT: Seed Pods

From: "BARBARA          A FOWLER" <sheep@digital.net>

Dear Linda,
I'm a novice and learning everyday, so my questions are the beginner's
lessons. Tell me about seed pods from iris and also, we have day lilies
that are forming these now. What to do with the ripening ones? How to care?
and When to plant them--directly in the ground or as seedlings to be
transplanted later.
Many thanks. Have a blessed day!
Sincerely, Barbara
