Rita, that sounds fantastic!!! Love all the Greigiis!!!

Susan, Oh I bet the Cyclamen is great if it is from Edelweiss!! 13 more orders.!!!

YUP!

Wow!

There's going to be some really busy Planters this spring!

I have some fragrant daylilies coming from Amador Flower Farm. I've never bought from them before, but I've seen some good reports.

which daylilies did you order?

Red Suspenders - Spider - red/yellow
Scatterbrain - Double - Apricot
Warrior Spirit - White/pink with purple/blue eye
Wind Frills - Spider - Pink
Smoky Mountain Autumn - Lovely Dark Apricot Blush (sort of like an Alstromeria)
Nosferatu or Radar Love (or neither, can't remember) dark pink to maroon/purple
Jedi Dot Pierce - Very frilly - Pink


Disregard my reminders to myself...

Is it possible to forget something before you type your reminder? ...mere moments after ordering??

Absolutely, happens to me all the time.

Newyorkrita said:Marilyn, I figgure I would have even more bulbs than that already ordered except that I can't because places like Scheepers don't open for 2012 orders until mid May. I have lists here already of thousands of bulbs from Scheepers and Van Engelen (their wholesale division) that I will be ordering when they open for business. Like a list of about 3,000 bulbs.

I'm just glad all the plants dont come on the same day. The staggered arrival effect works for me

I need to pay more attention to ship dates, back in December I didn't care but now It's driving me nuts. I want to tell my FedEx driver to Go Away!!

My UPS driver probably feels like a hero after leaving here. He gets that Better-Than-Christmas-Morning smile!

However, when it comes the time that there's piles and piles to plant.... been there, too!

In fact, we're due for some rain, so I'd better get to planting my backlog before more plants arrive, or the ground gets too wet.

I wish the bulbs would come more scattered but they all usually come mid October. Would be nice if some came before that so that I could get them planted already.

Here is that daylily slope that I intend to fill with tulips come fall so that it looks very different next spring.

Thats really nice lay out Rita.

It was a lot of work and very difficult area to work on. That slope is very steep. I managed to fit four rows of daylilies along in there. Up top are some daffs and lilies. I always planned to put some bulbs there but haven't gotten to it prior to this.

Need to gitchew sum climbin' cleats!

It used to be in grass. The only way to cut the grass was with a weed wacker as it is too steep for using a lawn mower. The digging of the holes for the waylilies was difficult. It will not be that easy to plant the tulip bulbs in there either but it sure should look good.

A nice full planting on a slope makes for a wonderful display; more effort to get it, but worth it.

I dont look forward to planting it.Weeding and waiting 3 years for everything to mature and keep weeds shaded.
