Terry - Yes! I know about those killer tornadoes you get in OK. I didn't know about earthquakes though. Really???

Yeah, we've had some really bad hurricanes here over the years. But I love it in Florida. I've lived here most of my life and when I briefly moved away, I couldn't stay away. I came back. I love Florida (just not the idiot politicians here!). I guess that old saying is true .... Bloom where you are planted. Because my roots are dug in deep here in Florida and I don't know if I could bloom anywhere else. I am sure you and Ashton feel the same way about OK.

BTW - I have been wondering how old Ashton is? He seems very mature so I am thinking he is older than Jon (Dave's son) who is in his middle teens. I think that is so cool that these 2 young men are very serious about daylily hybridizing. If they stick with it, I think we will be hearing a LOT about any registered daylilies they create. I just know it! Smiling Thumbs up Thumbs up

Polymerous - You know .... I am glad you brought up the long pistil issue. I am having the same problem setting seeds on Fol de rol. I am sure it has something to do with the kinked and/or too long pistils on each bloom. I even thought about cutting the pistils to make them shorter and then try to hand-pollinate them. I did it on one, but it didn't set a pod. Is there a trick to getting pods to set on them? Thumbs down
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
