If you're talking about only Maryott's, I'm sure he would welcome suggestions for gift plants, and I remember that with my very first order he sent more gift plants than I ordered, and they were fantastic.

Last year I put in four orders over the summer and my total was huge! I told him I had a fifth order and I asked if any of them be bonus plants. He gave me ALL of them as bonus plants then sent two new intros and three weekly specials. He will always make sure you never forget him, because he wants you to come back for more and tell your friends, and we always do. LOL.

Thanks, jardindefleurs

He does a FANTASTIC job with gift and bonus plants - I am already planning next years order. (getting too late to plant here, and I STILL have some to pop into the ground this weekend)

And so far, every single plant I got from Maryotts late last fall, is doing fantastic - with many reblooming (which is a surprise - since I have never had reblooms before)

I too tried pots in the garage (40 degrees in winter) the first year I really got into daylilies - and many got rust. But then, I had massive amounts of aphids (have never had aphids before) - so I tossed all the pots outside and protected them well - and lost every single one to crown rot - as has been mentioned - it wasn't winter that killed them, but spring. I didn't know about the tipping them on their sides trick. Have never tried it again. Now I just use leaves to mulch, and hope for some - but not too much snow, and will plant them all.

I really wanted to place another order this year, then realized I am kidding myself - I am busy busy busy the next three weeks, and in fact, won't be at home much during that time - and am better off waiting until spring to place that order - even though I DON'T WANT TO WAIT!

But I will.

But you all are NOT HELPING!!! Rolling on the floor laughing

Then that will be when our daylilies are shipped. We should have them by this time next week. Better get more Lowe's top soil before then for potting them up.

He said he has a lot of shipping to do at the end of the season and it's already the 20th and he has not even dug mine. He called and said he made a mistake and I have a balance and if I would send that money I will be in the next dig. Also, he said he was out of 'Walter Kennedy' and I purchased that in March and gave him money. I do not know what happened to my plants. Sad I know he will make it up to me though. Lovey dubby

Hurray! Maybe he is getting done early, good for him. I guess this weekend will be the last dig.

That's too bad that your order got so totally messed up, Susan. I always try to get my orders as early as possible so that won't happen to me, but I realize you have weather considerations. I just pot everything up to carry them through the summer before planting in the ground in the fall.

And speaking of fall, our weather has suddenly gotten WONDERFULLY beautiful -- supposed to be 92 today, then down into the 80s from here on. Now if we could only get some rain... haven't seen that in months now.

Well, it is fine. I ordered some more pots and hopefully they will be here before the daylilies. Bill said I would be in the next dig, but I do not know when that is. I would have gotten the order in the spring but I was a bit over whelmed by the hundred that came from the LA. LOL.
Glad to hear you are getting good weather. We have been cooler than normal so I am enjoying that.

This is what Bill has posted on their website:

IMPORTANT! The last day we will be accepting orders this year is Thursday September 26. Our final shipment will be dug on Saturday and Sunday and shipped Monday September 30. NO ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER SEPTEMBER 26 - DON'T DELAY - PLACE YOUR FINAL ORDER NOW.

So, ours will not be shipped until a week from tomorrow. Anyone waiting to place an order better get on the stick. Rio Del Mar is still the weekly special at this moment in time but may change.

I was marked 'paid in full' on Friday and Bill sent email on Saturday and said, ''You are in the dig!''.. Yippee!! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

This is one thing I asked for as a bonus and he already said yes to it. Thumbs up




Lovey dubby This is another one.
