Avedon said:Hi, everybody, just wanted to let you know that the daylily arrived this morning and is now getting a few hours soak before it goes into the ground. Larry and Wilma also sent a bonus, Just Plum Happy--maybe--might turn out to be something different, so we might have some fun with a mystery plant. Can't say enough about people so on the ball that it took only two days for the plant to reach us--we are impressed for sure!! To all of you who know about Annies, we have ordered from Annies's before and so know you will receive quality plants--the big drawback is the shipping charges, so isn't this a great way to get plants. The reason we didn't get the caladiums is the deer---we could not protect them from being eaten. Jeanie, hope your screening works so you can enjoy your beautiful prize. Suga, keep that hole ready, you could be the next big winner, and choose daylilies. As for me, I will be retired from the raffle for awhile, just want to enjoy the new daylily, and just marvel at how lucky I was. All of you are such great sports, I'm so happy to be involved with such nice people. Now, here are the daylilies from the Rettigs--they will be planted this evening and I will send updates as to how they are getting along.



Verdant Valley Oranges and Lemons on the left, Just Plum Happy (?) on the right.

Have you tried using malgranite around your daylilies and caladiums? The plants will love it and the deer will hate it. It's a win/win. Malgranite is a fertilizer and you can get it at Lowes and I saw it at Walmart also. It has been the best thing I have ever used anyway so I thought I would pass along the info just in case.


This was the fella that was in my front yard. My DH nearly fainted lol!!!
