That's something I'm thinking of but as you know a lot of space is required, and knowledge too! I don't even know what's happening in my little garden!!

Sabrina, how much space do you have? I only have a corner residential lot and have over 120 cultivars (a drop in the ocean) in various places.

Also my pic of what i thought was Momentum i do not think it is. It is too ugly to be that. I am going back to the grower this week to maybe get a clue or answer. I just got it last year.

Not so big space, I could have more but the main part is covered with.. fake grass... a choice my husband did before we decided to live together, I know he spent a lot to have the work done and I don't have the heart to ask him to go back to a real soil and garden.To say the truth there's no way to water the little garden (it's on the front of the house and it's a mistery why no one thought of water pipes there while building it). I have 23 DLs, and really no more room for now. Since I'm growing a couple of seed pods I already planned to remove the sedum in a corner and use that for the seedling, if any will grow. Sedum can go, it's not so interesting Green Grin! but I can't do much more than this. We plan to move away from here in a couple of years so I will have a good garden, I hope!

So you don't think it's Momentum? Let us know what the grower will say!

What a sweety Natalie! There's one husband collaborator in Minnesota, twice per year he comes to Italy. I was wondering if it's too dangerous to ask him to put some DL in a bag... Whistling I still don't know what the real problem is with plants travelling from one country to another!

Thats easy, daylilys are addictive therefore considered a controlled substance. Lol. I hope you can a bigger garden but i bet what you have is beautiful with space being a premium it must be full of only the best you could find.
After looking at photos on the database of Momentum there is no way my ugly duckling could be that cultivar. Whatever it is it will probably be gone in favor of something much more prettier. I will keep you posted and should know by Friday afternoon.

Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing That was hilarious, and so true!

My dad would be one to take the risk, since he enjoys a good adventure as much as I do, but I'd have to tell him that I wouldn't bail him out of jail! As it was, he got a notice in the mail when he got home, saying he had been driving in a restricted area! Hilarious! He got lost, thanks to his wife, and apparently they were driving in circles where they shouldn't have been, and were caught on camera. Imagine if they had been pulled over, and had daylilies in the car! Blinking Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!
