Michele, I did not know this. Thank you for telling us. We have to add dolomitic lime to our daylilies because of the pine bark fines (soil conditioner) we use in our beds. Our soil is naturally acidic anyway. We need to add some additional lime to a couple of beds that we redid last spring and to a new bed put in this fall. That will be a good thing to do later this week when our temperatures are to reach the 60's.

Edited to keep this on topic. I am now headed to Floyd Cove's FB page to see their minis. I just might be tempted...

Edited to say, "Yep, I was tempted and want all the minis."
