I don't know if you've heard of Rita Bees Garden and Apiary in GA. She sells daylilies and honey (and other bee products). Affordable, high-quality plants.


@MrKGDickie
The name does ring a bell from somewhere. I must have been on her site, I reckon.
On a side note, I noticed your "signature line" says you also like hibiscus. I was wondering if you can help me with a little thing. I have no trouble germinating hibiscus seeds (particularly Holy Grail Hibiscus) using wet paper towel and a zip-lock baggie, but then after transplant to potted soil they never seem to progress much further. I have one seedling left (rest died off), still with cotyledons after 2 months, and less than an inch tall. Like it is frozen in time. It just sits there, not dying but not living either. This also happened last year. In 2020, out of 10 seedlings I managed to get one to progress onwards (and it did reward me with flowers in late summer, albeit slightly smaller than the parent). My suspicion is that my seedlings need real sunlight to progress (rather than through a window). I even have UVA/B indoor grow lights (well, they are supposed to be for lizards to bask in but most seedlings also seem to like them), that did nothing to the seedling. I am out of ideas on how to push hibiscus germinated-seedlings onwards. What could I be doing wrong?
Gardening: So exciting I wet my plants!
