My resolution is to be more restrained and focused on desired hybrid crosses during the blooming season.

As soon as all the lovelies start popping out their pretty heads I go a little ga-ga ... so, if I'm not very organized and careful I get sloppy with tagging/recording crosses, and start crossing e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g with everything else, as I get pulled into their trance-inducing show (which means any seeds produced are not ones I'd want to keep, being unknown crosses and gazillions of unplanned pregnancies). And, in pursuit of the same, I need to keep trying to successfully get and use frozen, or maybe refrigerated, pollen so that planned crosses can happen between cultivars that bloom at separate times.

My head hurts already from the tug-of-war ... I know those amazing daylilies are going to bedazzle again, and in their sheer brevity, spin me around and get me too dizzy to do exactly what I set out to do! Rolling my eyes.
