Come on Ken, I think Tina's post is pretty much saying the same for other posts on here, not directed at your post in particular but more of a general information and post of how they feel about bonus plants and seeds. I had to go back and read all the posts a couple of times just to try and find what you found so upsetting and thought was directed at you personally. I thought maybe I had overlooked a post somewhere along the way.
I just want to say that the way we look at bonus plants or seeds often has a lot to do with how long we have been into daylilies. I well remember being so excited to get bonus plants...I did't even know they existed, so I was thrilled.
Now I have become pretty limited in what I would like as a bonus plant, not nearly so interested to increase the numbers anymore. After spending hours researching plants and finally making a decision I would much prefer an extra fan of the plants ordered over a plant I had not requested. I have come to realize each plant is a commitment to more time and energy spent, more fertilizer, more water, more insect and disease battles and more space to create. Now that I am creating my on seedlings "bonus plants" have really lost all their excitement...except in the rare case when it is one actually on my "Want" list, then I get very excited!
