Great tip...also like the part about putting down the coffee. I am guilty of trying to do a two handed job with one.

Yes, putting down the coffee would be difficult for me too!

This is a fantastic tip -- thank you so much Char! I have used a leaf or two to loop around two or three scapes to draw them together to take pictures of a few blooms together, but it never would have occurred to me to tie a leaf to a scape in order to pull it to a more upright position. I do run around with those circle stakes, as much to protect some scapes from clumsy old me as I'm famous for breaking them off unless there's a stake there for me to beware of, or to protect the scapes when carrying daylilies around in pots -- but the leaf tying idea is terrific!

A truly valuable idea!

Natalie said:Brilliant! This is why I hang out on the Daylily forum! It's full of wonderful information for folks like me who never come up with brilliant ideas!

You and me both, Natalie! I never feel like I can come up with a new "useful" idea. I've been giving it a lot of thought lately though. Wish I could come up with something to submit in the ideas section.

Remember if you send in something for the ideas section to include pictures!

Thanks, Rita! One of these days, I'll think of something useful

Well, I am a couple of years late to this party but using a leaf to tie a scape is brilliant!! I have a big yellow daylily that is always floppy. I had to stake it up today. Now I will go out and tie those scapes up!

Glad to have helped.

And late arrivals are welcome!
