Blooming Daylilies
Posted on Jul 10, 2011 9:35 AM

Since this is my first year with having Daylilies bloom I want to keep a database of what all is out there in the gardens.  Will keep adding to this post for all the daylilies, not that there is a whole lot right now... just easier for me.

Daylilies from seed
Posted on Jul 9, 2011 8:09 PM

For the past few months I've been visiting the Lily Auction and purchased many seeds.  My initial plan was to have preschoolers & kindegarteners in our town do their own cups with seeds at the beginning of the year to give to their momma's around Mother's Day.  Well after going there a few times let's just say I was hooked.  So many awesome possibilities for the flowers going through my head & I just have to bid.  The kids I think are gonna have a ball!

Only just starting out, never having much to do with daylilies until last year of course I'd never started them from seeds.  So I've been trying different ways ~ the rocks method, water wet papertowel in bag, makeup remover pad soaked in peroxide w/water in a bag (hanging on my wall), and peroxide just put into the bag & left in the fridge.  I've learned alot from all of the experts on Cubits!!

Things are going pretty good, I think.  Overall I can't really say which method has worked the greatest.  I've lost a few seeds to mold with each one.  

Tonight I had the pleasure of doing a little transplanting & seperating them out of their grow cups (plastic cups.) They arn't very big yet, so I figured I could get by with doing it the way I did using an egg carton.  More will be ready in about a week or so and I can't hardly wait!!

So much fun to watch them grow!
