Here come the Daylilies

Hi Simbad


We need sunshine

I have another with legs Tarantula (Spider) 2nd chance :yess:
I will have to have a legs section in the garden , pod fell of Mike Reed , but I have another pod on Sergant major , Black Emanuel is the dad.

And the unknown plant (jury still out as I dont think it is now looking at photos , but still pretty has a pod mmmm now which one is the dad I know its out of two , thats a good question with pollen can you have more than one pollenator .
Do you know who sells the little tags you tie on the end of the flower so you know which pollen parent it is ?.

Big breeding programme next year , I know you can by tubes to collect the pollen and keep in the freezer , just thought were do they sell those as well

Spruce

 

Spruce if you search on ebay for jewellery price tags they're ideal for tying round the flower stem to write the name of the pollen parent on, mmmm just thinking where you'd get the tubes if I think of anything I'll let you know.
Not sure if you could have more than one pollinater but wouldn't have thought so, every seedling will be slightly different though even from the same pod.
Saw Tarantula very nice :D, there are a few very nice ones on today I may even have a bid or two:D, On Silken Thread is one I've wanted for a while.

Hi Simbad

Is it the norm for them not to be the ones you order as I have two now !!!

Spruce

 

Here's my lovely daylilly - don't what it is called, as it was a chunk from my mam's plant and she can't remember. She also has a yellow daylilly that has never flowered?

 

Most suppliers are really good Spruce,know we all make mistakes and most will change or give a refund if plants are wrong, but nearly all my wrong ones are from the same supplier so won't be buying from them again, although I quite like the one above it actally had a semi double flower yesterday, wonder what it is.

 

Very pretty Pixie :-)

 

Those are gorgeous, Simbad.
