Lilies

[Ladygardener]

Barbara thanks a million, I'd be delighted to get some of it. ;D
Rony this time next year they'll have filled out and most likely be flowering for you all being well.

[Barbara]

LG will you PM your addy, Jas I already have yours.

[Barbara]

As soon as it's finished flowering I'll split and send.

[Barbara]

Rony I'm comparing value here, how many shoots per pot did you get, In my Hubbys choice we got 3 stems, and the white one we got 7.

2 have three stems and the other two just two, Barbara.

[Barbara]

Mine were £8.50 for the 3 stems, and I think £7.00 for the seven stems. I think the 3 stems is a thicker stem.

[Ron]

Mine varied in price according to the rarety of the variety. Hyperion was the cheapest at £4.50, then House of Orange at £7.00, Hot Wheels at £10.00 and Cerulean Star at £12.00 -the last 2 not cheap at all, but hopefully worth it.

I decided that as Apple Court had proved themselves reliable, I'd submit another order: Berlin Tallboy at £7.00, Christmas Is at £5.50, El Desperado at £8.00, Frans Hal at £3.50, Trahlyta at £7.00. 2 quite cheap, I'd say, and 3 average.

[Tig]

That seems reasonable Rony, especially if they are healthy plants when they arrive. They do seem to bulk up quick once you get them in. I could do with a few more in the front garden, they seem to be able to cope with almost all conditions, including the 'neglected, unwatered, desert' that is my front!

I'd POTM 4 for the plum one with the astilbes Barbara - flowers would look lovely on a salad - plum pickings

I was gardening at school yesterday and noticed some brick red hemerocallis that need splitting - anyone fancy some if I sort them out successfully? Do you dig them up, split them into smaller sections and plant them again?

[Barbara]

Jas they are really easy to split, just dig them up, knock the soil off and prise them apart, as long as you work around the flowering stem no damage done, don't worry if the other leaves fall off they soon bulk up again, hardy little souls they are.

[Tig]

Yes, yes, yes and yes ;D

[Jasmine]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ;D

[Ladygardener]

If you have any to spare I'd love some Jasmine, but not to worry if I'm too late.

[Ron]

Apple Court delivered those 5 day lilies within 24 hours. They are in the ground and looking well.

[Missredhead]

My yellow ones still havent flowered...

If there is any left Jas I'll have some please.... ;D

[Jasmine]

There's quite a lot by the looks of things - I will do some digging next Monday!

[Missredhead]

;D

[Tig]

I've got four, two have flowered, new one is in bud, and an older one needs splitting!

No idea what any of them are called apart from the newest one

Here are the two I've 'snapped' today ...



This one was rescued from an abandoned garden, and has been shared to lots of friends, it does send out runners though which pop up a foot away from the parent plant! It was with the orange alstroemeria and took over the entire border

[Barbara]

Jas, If that daylily isn't the same as any of mine, and if there's enough to go round, then I'd quite like a couple of pieces please, it soon fills out from not many to plenty. ;D

[Ladygardener]

Tig those are a lovely colour, the 2nd one is very unusual I've never seen one like that before.

[Jasmine]

I'll post a pic on Monday Barbara and you can decide.

Tig, that second one is gorgeous!

[Tig]

It might be a lovely flower, but it is a bit of a thug, especially in good soil - fortunately I've moved it to the front desert

[Auricula]

2nd one is really lovely Tig

[sharon]

hi, if im not too late can i have some too. ;D

[Jasmine]

No ones too late - hope the Head doesn't notice any spaces!! ;D

[Ron]
