Fred, as always your seedlings look fantastic! I am looking forward to another season of seedling blooms from your garden.

Me too -- from both of you!

Ive got one, a scape on a noid seedling. Just my luck, but its a seedling none the less. Its on about the smallest seedling ive got too. Nice strong scape tho ;-). Makes the work I was doing out there worth it. This spurs me on.

No scapes here yet.

Same here. also. Getting a couple of warm days to clean out beds.
It's nasty out there with all the blown in tree leaves and weeds.

I hope to see a lot more seedlings from others this year than the pass couple of years. I have more seedlings this year than I have had in several years, not that I will have anything better than last year, just more of them. I am really looking forward to the dip ufs, I planted about 1000 compared to about 300 the last couple of years. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Got all the beds raked out today and one of them weeded and fertilized. Gorgeous day but I'm bushed.

I hope to see more from others too, Fred. Thought you were slowing down on the number of
seeds planted. I just love some of the long and curling ufs, as well as the patterned
daylilies, but planting space and the keeping-up-with effort would probably be too much for me.
At least I can enjoy seeing the photos of others' efforts.

Fred, I counted from my lists, and it appears that I'll have 2963 seedlings, give or take,
to decide which to take pictures of or keep for further evaluation if they all bloom. I get exhausted
just thinking about it. We eliminated a couple of large beds of seedlings last year to make room
for new ones, and still have too many. Some of that number are two year olds.

This is why, at least for this year, I must stick to the plan I have, before trying any new forms.

Last year was suppose to be the year I started cutting back, but due to an unforseen problem that occured in the middle of last year (The Region 14 Spring Meeting) I wasn't able to fulfill my dream so I have put off cutting back until the end of this year.

Yesterday while fertilizing , I found scrapes. Evelyn Kloeris, Spacecoast Irish Illumination, Barcode to name a few. I am excited that spring has finally sprung in Dixie.

I keep looking for scapes even though I know it's too early.

First scapes in the hybridizing area, this seedling has three scapes and someone else pointed it out to me, with everything being green I had not seen it. It's an 18 month old of my son that was pulled last Sept.

The only scapes I have are on a couple I got in from Florida this week.

Finally saw a couple of scapes in the baby dips yesterday, things are looking up.

I haven't seen any scapes on mine yet , but James Hall has them popping up everywhere.

I'm sure you'll have them soon Tink.

O Glory Day. Ive got the fattest ever scape on Dutch Yellow Truffle. Thats my first scape, except the little seedling noid. I have taken such care of this plant, Im so excited it is paying off. Will spur me on, altho DYT is just about my fave.
I know Leslie could have never guessed Id be so excited to see DYT scape

I was smiling before I even saw that last line.

I have scapes on a few Daylilies, and await the bloom.
