Carol McIntyre/Zn5/WI replied to Carol K. zn 4 MN's discussion starting day lilies from seed in the group Daylily"Wow... how timely! Last fall I kept a day lily seed pod from my daughter-in-law's yard and on Jan. 20th planted 8 seeds from it in small peat pots. One has germinated and is over 1" tall. I've never tried it before…"
Carol McIntyre/Zn5/WI commented on Gerald A. Dobbins's group Daylily"I'd love to share-- I have all my photos on Picasa (about 49,000 of them!) and am not quite sure if I can send from there or have to go back and find them elsewhere.
I also have many varieties of Asiatic and Oriential lilies."

Carol McIntyre/Zn5/WI commented on S. Asherah Taylor's group Orchids"I had to google that one. They are beautiful but of course won't grow in WI. It sounds as though they're pretty fussy to grow inside, too. I'll have to ask my "Orchid Lady" about them."
Carol McIntyre/Zn5/WI commented on S. Asherah Taylor's group Orchids"I currently have 8 Phalaenopsis in bloom and 2 in bud, and a pretty yellow Paph blooming."

Linda Cassell said… - I know what you mean. I am retired, so have to be careful. I just would rather spend money on bulbs than purses. Seems logical. We are very dry here. Almost at a draught stage.
see ya

Karen F. Henriksen zn5 said… - Hi Carol, I honored you requested me as a friend.....you may be sorry. With a master gardener as a friend I'll be picking your brain alot. I'm in Door Co. Wi. about 2 1/2 hrs north of you. I think you got the precip. that missed us today. Your pictures are gorgeous. I've just gotten back to work at the resort and been starting to uncover some of the flower beds with the bulbs in them. It's nice to see them neat and clean with the daffs. poking up. Let me know more about you.

I don't have much space so I usually get 25-30 tomatoes in myself, having no space makes rotation tricky it also means that I can't wait around for beefsteaks to ripen I usually plant about 20 peppers…"
