Josie, I've lost a lot of money on daylilies! Recently I've bought off the Daylily Auction to try to minimize my losses. Luckily, my husband doesn't mind--I do tell him when it happens!. Anyway, Dan and Jane Trimmer are very kind to me and I take them cookies or whatever I've baked the day before. I'll be going there in March when he releases his 2017 plants. I've asked him to pot up 2 of the choices I've made. They are using my photo of one of them. We gab about plants and their plans. It makes for a lovely day and I come home with 2 or 3 plants that will be in pots until next fall. I can't plant in March because my daylilies will have started to bud out. I will also have flowers in mid to late March. Additionally the plants won't be able to adapt to the extreme temperature changes we have from March 1 to April 1--we go from a mild winter to a very warm spring and the plants will just wilt and die if they have been in my boxes for just 30 days. So they stay in their pots and I can move them into shade when the temperatures rise.
