This is the last scape for the year and I should probably cut it off but when it is the only bloom in the garden, that is hard to do. This flower bloomed the first time at eight months old with a bud count of 22. I had always heard people say they knew from first bloom that it would be an introduction. Couldn't understand how they could possible know. But that is what happened with this one.<br />

Just a fantastic group of folks.<br />
They had told me there would be a snack served. An understatement if ever there was one. There was just about any kind of finger food you could think of there and some great desserts and fruit salads. <br />
Here is an image when they were about half way set up. These tables were full by the time for the meeting to start,<br />

No not daylilies but home made jellies, canned beans, and pears as well as home made kraut. So you guys can see what a wonderful weekend I had. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks to the Officers and members of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Daylily Society for the opportunity to speak to your wonderful group.

Meet Sir Reginald. (Reggie to his friends) He is a four month old mini Australian Shepard. He stands 14 1/2 inches high and should not get over 18 inches. He has a natural bobtail that is about five inches long. Just had his first bath and is not a happy camper right now. Still exploring everything new around him. We are in love with him already.<br />

This one could be my very own Best Edge seedling.<br />
I planted it from seed in the house in Jan. Kept in the hobby greenhouse until April and then in a raised bed outside . So it is eight months old., I am loving the form on this one as well as the edge. It gets the number today of 11-0904 A five inch bloom on a short scape but blooming above the foliage so when it is mature <br />
it should be taller. It has already multiplied and is two fans. For sure one to watch. Think I will take one fan and pot it for the greenhouse and leave one fan outside to test for winter hardiness. With the parentage involved I expect it to be evergreen. A cross of Born To Run X Butch and Babar's Cracked Eggs<br />
Any comments would be appreciated.<br />

Great food and fellowship. Here we are after dinner talking about the nominations on the list. We couldn't get the DVD to work, so we didn't get to see a picture of them all to refresh our memory of the bloom season. Have you voted your pop poll yet?<br />

Again I have to thank Marsha Williams from TN for the use of her images. Mrs. Rosa Bella Van Valkenburgh at the age of 90 years young is the care taken of this amazing daylily garden in the Botanical Garden. At our regional Rosa Valkenburgh was honored by an assistant of the Mayor who declared June. 17th to be Rosa Bella Van Valkenburgh Day. Had you been there to hear the decelerations to her you would say that she certainly deserves a day in her honor. Also she has a lovely daylily named for her .<br />
ROSA VAN BALKENBURGH This image was taken in the garden of Bill Waldrop.<br />

Thanks to Marsha Williams of TN. I have some garden picture to post here. I only took individual garden pictures in this garden. Randy is one of the superb dayliy growers, that is with Madloyn's guidance. The garden surrounds the entire house. Just last fall adding several new bed to the back side of the pool.<br />

I have been working hard trying to get Randy to hybridize. No luck yet. He certainly has some great cultivars to work with. Now that Madolyn is ready to retire I might just have to get her to do the hybridizing... The daylilies continue around the other two sides of the house. Just didn't get any pictures. <br />

As a matter a fact that is what was done after a storm blew one of her large shade trees over. I have never seen hosta grown so perfectly.

Jim and Martha Brazelton. Martha is the daughter of the late Richard Webster .<br />
I would love to see this garden in the spring as it is a peonies and daylily garden. This is the first view I saw as I stepped off the bus. You may have to scroll to the right a little to get the entire image on your monitor. I did not want to take away any of the beauty of the garden by making the image smaller. A big Thank You<br />
to Jim and Martha for hosting the Sally Lake Bed and being on tour for all of somewhere over 150 people tromping through their garden.<br />
<br />

This is the garden that hosted our Sally Lake Bed. Jim and Martha grew them to perfection. Unfortunately I did not get images of all the entries or even the two beds they grew in. I could not draw myself away from Jim's seedling.The following will be images of angels of the garden.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Forgotten Cookies</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 egg whites</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">½ teaspoon Cream of Tarter (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">½ cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2/3 – ¾ cups Milk cho. Chips</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">½ teaspoon vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">½ - ¾ Cups finally chopped pecans</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beat egg whites with cream if tarter until stiff. Slowly add sugar </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Add vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fold in chocolate chips and pecans,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cover the cookie sheet with nonstick foil or spry regular foil with Pam</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Drop cookies by spoonful onto the cookie sheets.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Place in oven Turn oven off and let sit overnight. Do not open the oven for a</span><span style="font-size: large;">t least 10 hours if you are making these during the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can add red or green food coloring if you wish for a different look around Christmas. Or you can substitute mint flavoring for the vanilla flavoring for a change of taste.</span><br />

The only ones I can water are my potted plants that are sitting on the porch and all around the edge of the house. I did water one raised bed this morning as the foliage was looking real bad. This was the bed with my newest plants in them. <br />
But blooming in pots today was first bloom on BUTCH AND BARBRA'S CRACKED EGGS<br />

But if anyone should know or have another opinion I would appreciate a comment and your ideas on what instant rebloom is. To me it is when a scape will appear from a single fan before the original fan has started blooming or soon after. Without haveing the first scape bloom out before seeing the rebloom scape In this image of one of my future introductions look closely at the scapes.<br />

Would instant rebloom here in the south make for rebloom which is not normally seen in the north ?Sharon Pricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08731467547025688257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633210236162521224.post-12235393332994142852011-05-22T09:29:00.001-05:002011-05-22T09:49:09.218-05:00Rewards For Our LaborI believe we are all rewarded for our labor. For we reap what we sow and with out hard labor the reaping of the rewards will be small. With hard labor the rewards will be numerous and plentiful. This is true in all aspects of our life. But today I would like to show you a few rewards I have reaped from my labor. I think they are plentiful. I will start with this image. Remember the small seedling bed I reworked in the post of Feb 16th (check it out) Well here are the rewards from that laborious day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI_DxZLTDEU3ok9mW-nOxMOkJoEzTTA4EPIcYQZoj5U54Og8doEn9IgnwbdZ04CUFqhIdvqyU2Dk1bjXdvgrKXsSatQKOCGus7Z_Y60uKeEpWCMT1RWWcmgNdK84z2w_ShORw3-NrMEP0/s1600/Image069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI_DxZLTDEU3ok9mW-nOxMOkJoEzTTA4EPIcYQZoj5U54Og8doEn9IgnwbdZ04CUFqhIdvqyU2Dk1bjXdvgrKXsSatQKOCGus7Z_Y60uKeEpWCMT1RWWcmgNdK84z2w_ShORw3-NrMEP0/s640/Image069.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>This is going to make a great casserole for dinner tonight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next is another type of reward that anyone who hybridizes will know the hard labor that goes into the seedlings we produce. Actually this is from a seed I purchased two year ago on the auction but growing it off to see the first bloom was labor. Although not as much labor as producing the seed myself. This lovely 27"in. (5.5") bloom with two lateral branches and a terminal Y got it's own number this morning. Will now be tested for fertility and moved to a selected bed this fall. So I feel that with Gods help I have reaped more rewards for my labor.<br />

Starting to warm some at night now so it want be long I will have some nice blooms. But today I do have a few greenhouse blooms. I have been using frozen pollen and have a few pods set.<br />
Will post later on how I store my pollen. Got to take the girls to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean today.<br />

That being the reason for an early bloom. But I was very pleased to see it fully open at 7 am this morning with a temperature of only 53. Nothing else was fully open at that time of morning. As a matter a fact Cherry Valentine is the only other one that has opened fully as of 8:30 am and only one degree warmer (54). So although it is cloudy and cool this morning I have a little Bama Sunshine to brighten my day. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6td9Q7h3CTHjNnlylBeHwiG0FkDIWb4obL0v9Zxrp_hYs7yQ3a0dFiU9x55rwQEy0AqvvgIQMCMxh8sNZuaDSg8eGvEdkAH-JqBwa2wBTTqXAyzeEPsYN1cKfOgM8gVVkHVMABHveExE/s1600/Image023-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="361" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6td9Q7h3CTHjNnlylBeHwiG0FkDIWb4obL0v9Zxrp_hYs7yQ3a0dFiU9x55rwQEy0AqvvgIQMCMxh8sNZuaDSg8eGvEdkAH-JqBwa2wBTTqXAyzeEPsYN1cKfOgM8gVVkHVMABHveExE/s400/Image023-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This Paul Aucoin daylily could change that. Was I ever surprised this morning when I went out to the greenhouse and saw it. Brooke won this from Paul's last year when our club visited his garden. It measures 6 1/2 inches so it is large, sepals are lighter than the petals, so it is a bitone, and the widest part of the petal is at least half way, UF ???? Paul gave this seedling a name of WHICH WAY OUT and registered it in 2007. Although registered as a five inch, it's first bloom here this morning was as mentioned earlier a full 6 1/2 inches.<br />

I am seeing some good branching on some of my first year seedlings. <br />
This is the second bloom on Kennesaw Mountain Hayride. I purchased this from Bill when he was in Birmingham speaking. The color is not as orange as I expected but a beautiful coral pink to my eyes. Took it out of the greenhouse and put it on the front porch so as to get an accurate image of the color. My little hobby greenhouse has green tinted panels.<br />

I am a state inspected commercial garden. If you are thinking about shipping daylilies as a commercial garden. Check with you state Agricultural Department to acquire a license.. Also check with you county Probate Judge as you might be required to purchase a store licences. Then check with your state Department of Revenue to see if your state requires adding sales tax. In Alabama daylilies that are grown for sale are considered a farm crop and therefore no sales tax is charged. If I were a store purching them for resale then sales tax is required.<br />
The second video is of the packing of the daylilies to be shipped.<br />

Before going to the Tennessee Vally Daylily Society to speak, I got to tour Lee Pickles greenhouse. Boy what some beauties growing inside. I guess my favorite was this seedling out of Wonder of It All X Roses and Gold. Please correct me Lee if I have the cross wrong. Then it was on to Wally's restaurant where the meeting was being held. Good old fashion cooking.<br />

On Monday I had the pleasure of visiting Bill Waldrops greenhouse. Another wowing day.<br />
Since Bill has already posted an image of my favorite seedling on his blog. I want re post it here. But will say it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, But I do so love those red eyes and edges.<br />
So I will just post a picture of the seedling I purchased from him. Again red eye and edged.<br />

These were planted on March 18th. The temps have been in the low 40's at night and mid 60's during the day. They don't even know it. I actually have a few buds on a couple of them.<br />

With the cold weather moving in last night and me already having tomato plants set out for nearly a week, I had to build a temporary greenhouse around them. I had some old plexus glass sheets. I just leaned them up against the frame. As we southerners are well know for good uses of duck tape. I used some plastic across the top and duck taped it to the plexus glass I then used some plastic to make the end covers again using duck tape to attach it to the plexus glass We did get frost last night with only a low of 35. I live in a bottom and the cold air just wants to settle in here. The plants were snug inside. I will just open the ends up today for air circulation and close them again tonight. <br />

It is easy to find a pretty face among the seedling, but one should not let that pretty face turn your attention away from the plant itself. What do you look for in a daylily you want to grow in your garden ? This is what you should be looking for in your seedlings. Myself I first look at the flower. Doesn't everyone? Next I want some good branching and bud count. Although bud count can be somewhat on the low side it can have instant rebloom giving you a longer bloom time. I had rather have a daylily with 15 buds that blooms two or three time than one with 40 that all bloom out within a matter of a few weeks. So I am going to show an example of a selected seedling and hopefully you will see why it was selected. This is a image of a third year seedling. It was dug and potted after maiden bloom. Left in the pot until second year bloom. Now this year I will be observing it out in the garden again. <br />

Also notice the rebloom scape that has not yet had a pod set on it. You can see it is very fertile also. Nice arching foliage too. Basically just overall good plant habit.<br />

</tbody></table>Not a bad looking bloom either. <br />
But one more good thing about this seedling is that it has thrown me some really pretty babies too. I should see quite a few new babies from it bloom this year. Below you will see images of three babies from this seedling that I will be looking at for second time this year.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> If a seedling doesn't have at least three way branching it will not get to go to the selected bed, But it might be used for a bridge plant with something like the above</div>seedling to give it that branching. Actually I have waited until the bloom is gone. Being able to see only the branching a bud scars and choosing that plant for the selected garden. Have to wait until it blooms again to see if it has any other trites that I might want to keep going forward with. <br />

I moved it to the greenhouse about a week after the scape appeared. Well it has all of two buds on it. This morning it is trying to open. I have not left the heat on in the greenhouse in over a week and the temps are kinda cool out there. So I took it from the table and set in on the floor closer to the heater and turned the heat on, hoping it will open fully so I can collect the pollen. First image taking around 9:30 this morning and second one at 2 pm <br />
Hasn't opened fully, but I pretty much expected that. At least I was able to collect the pollen from it.<br />

I had to remove about five clumps from the raised bed and refill the bed with soil conditioner. This bed now has 65 seedlings planted in it. Some of them were as tall as 21 inches high. Hopefully I will get some bloom this season.<br />
