    A book with all the names written in Lorna image and I have a plan of the daylily bed and allotment bed, they're all in rows so quite easy, I've had most a long time and can tell you which is which without my plan now, except the seedlings image.

    A few more image

     Greywoods Nautical Nellie, this one was sent as a substitute and I like it more than the one I ordered, often has polymerous flowers, one of my more expensive ones but we won't go into that image, then again it was money I made by selling some of mine on ebay so it doesn't count image

    There are some daylilies with really lovely broken patterns in the eye, I bought one last year called Get Jiggy as its known for passing the pattern onto its offspring, didn't expect much the first year but was really pleased with the first flowers, and next year it'll be even better.

     A couple more with nice patterns, Slipped my Disco,I waited 4 years for this to show its pattern the picture doesn't do it justice quite hard to capture.

    And my favourite monster, Lurch, huge almost 10inch flowers on this one.

    What I really need Lorna is a programme for the computer it's save a lot of rubbing out when they're moved especially the seedlings, maybe I should drop a few hints for Christmas image

    Yes 'Slipped my Disco' is a beauty great name tooimage

    A couple more of my seedlings from the BHHS seed scheme.

    Most from this cross looked quite similar and are in their second year flowering I thought I'd narrowed it down to one to keep, this one.

    Awesome Blossom x Jelly Maker

     The next one, from the same cross, didn't impress me much and was heading for the to go list, I have several similar.

    image

    That was until a couple of weeks later! next picture is the same plant but much darker eye and edge almost looked black, so its saved for another year.

    If you start your hinting now Kathy you might get the Christmas presents you want.image 

    I like both the flowers, I agree it looks much better with the darker eye.

    Kathy you said you sold some on ebay, do you still sell them on there, you have some lovely one on here.xx

    Lol good idea Lorna it might take a while for Rob to get the hint image

    I haven't sold any on ebay for a couple of years now it was taking up so much of my time and wasn't really worth all the messing about for what I made, last year I actually gave quite a lot of my divisions away to friends.

    If I was closer I would buy some from you, the ones I've seen over here are the more plain ones, they don't have a lot to chose from, there not like your ones with all those beautiful colours and patterns.

    Lorna I'll be splitting some more but it won't be till spring now, I'll let you know which and any you like I'll happily send for just the postage, are there any restrictions for plants where you live?, I hate composting good plants image

  • Lorna95Lorna95 Posts: 436

    Thank you so much Kathy image, that is really kind of you, I'm happy to pay postage, you flowers are beautiful so thank you so much,

    As far as I know there are no restrictions from sending plants to and from the UK to Ireland. My in-laws moved back over to the UK this year and they took plants from over here to move with them to the UK with no problems and I have also bought plug plants from the UK with no problems, so as far as I know there is not a problem with sending them.

    Thank you so much Kathy, you are so kind.xx
