Great thread! I really enjoyed hearing everyone's viewpoint on how many they have and why. I have around 300 counting NOIDS and seedlings. My husband made a point of telling me that I already can't keep up with what I have. But I promptly told him that it was because of the long stretch of cool weather and all the rain we have been having. So there!
Anyway, what I didn't admit to him was that at 60, I am slowing down a little bit more each year. The daylily club that I just joined last year is mostly older folks like myself (over 55) and several are unable to help do what needs to be done for the sales for the club to earn money. It is worrisome that the club may not be around much longer because of this. Several are downsizing because they can't keep up with what they have. Where are all the young gardeners???
It gets easier every year to cull the ones that do not meet the standards I like to see in a daylily. So if it doesn't have enough blooms, isn't above the foliage, or takes too long to create a decent bloom, it is going out. It gets easier every year.
Sorry Frillylily
, but I detest violets! I try to get as many as I can out, but alas, it is fruitless to try to stay ahead of them.
