I got two more boxes today. My Northern Lights order came. Great-looking plants! I got Mayor of Munchkinland (was supposed to be one fan, but they sent more), War Horse, and a gigantic bonus plant, Sweeter Side of Life. I will take a picture of the order tomorrow.

I also got a box from Mike with Stella's Sparky and Stella's Pink Pretty. Lucky me! They are all soaking with the Cottage Garden plants. A lot of planting ahead!

My Northern Lights order got here today too. I just found it 30 minutes ago on my porch. Got Fangs of Fury, Pattern Breaker and Graceful Melody as a bonus. Best order I have ever received from them. I am happy to get more than 1 fan, but they sent 4 fans on 2 and 6 on the other! I am thrilled

Daylily World really outdid themselves! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! I received my order yesterday and am WOWED! Drooling Green 'n clean, fresh, perky plants, nicely packed. Most plants not a DF but four!! And great bonuses! I had suggested bonuses and they were very kind to send what I wanted. This is one of the nicest orders I have ever unpacked! I am excited to have some REALLY beautiful reds and purples ... and a screaming orange or two.

Still haven't heard back from Harmon Hill about availability on ones I am interested in. I really would like to firm up that order so I know how much room and budget I have left. Park Lane contacted me offering ones I had on hold from last year and wants an answer right away. Trying to be patient, but I really would like to know what I am actually going to purchase this spring.

Here are my orders. First, the one from Cottage Gardens. This one came while I was away and sat in the box for several days, so the plants look a bit bedraggled. However, I am quite sure they will recover quickly.
Thumb of 2023-05-02/DeweyRooter/e8f4b7
Zella Virginia, Smiling Cobra, Mary Ethel Anderson, Along Came Amanda, and bonus plants One Above You and Broadway Valentine

Next, Northern Lights order:
Thumb of 2023-05-02/DeweyRooter/df3aeb
Mayor of Munchkinland, War Horse, and huge DF of Sweeter Side of Life (bonus)

Finally, these are from fellow forum member Mike:

It sounds frustrating. I remember going through this for my Spacecoast order last spring. I did get the order, but communication was extremely frustrating. I also had trouble getting an answer from Simonton Bridge earlier this spring, although that turned out to be a technical issue on their end, and I did get the plants.

I seem to remember Zoia had some phone contact info for Harmon Hill--maybe treemail her?

I understand. If he's behind, it would be nice if he just told you, so you could decide whether to wait for him or not.

Oh, the planting! Blinking That's the less-than-fun bit, especially with so much else to do this time of year!

I got my Northern Lights order last night as well, and it is gorgeous. Nan, how about the size of the MOM fanS? Lovey dubby Lessens any possible spending remorse...

The Harmons are running the Regional, and I know that at least Marlene is busy putting all that together. I'll probably see both of them at the NEDS plant sale, Wendy but it won't be until May 13.

I think they may also go to the Canadian daylily thing in Spring, prior to shipping their orders out? Or am I thinking of another vendor? My poor old wooly brain. Thinking

Just checked, and my brain is not so bad after all.
From their website: "We ship to the US and Canada and also hand-carry plants and orders every year to Toronto at the CAN-AM Meeting, normally held the first weekend in May. "

Called Harmon Hill again and spoke with Carl - he is always so nice, and he got right back to me this afternoon. Now to finalize my order. Thinking

Where am I going to put all the ones I want?

I am expecting one, possibly two more spring orders plus the extra "waiting list" plant from Ron Reimer.
