Wahoo!!

More, more, more daylilies!! The box arrived today jam-packed with big bareroot plants. The kitchen counter wasn’t big enough so down they went to the floor for this glamour shot.



Of course, you can clearly see that the new arrivals are not in bloom yet, and as gorgeous as Charlie's Shaw's plants are, they are not as pretty as the flowers! So thanks to TinkersGardens.com for their policy of allowing their photos to be used for non-commercial purposes, I can show you my lovelies before next spring arrives.

In case you didn’t visit the Shaw's Sunshine Gardens link that I gave you up above you may not know that the 50% Off Sale ended October 15th. And you also don’t know, as I didn’t know until just now when I copied the link, that Charlie is offering another special. Oh, be still my heart! The special is a 100% Bonus - Charlie's Choice until November 30th. Excuse me, where the heck is that list I started the other day that I was going to add to this order when it dawned on me that the half-off sale had ended. You know how you get in a buying groove? Well, I was there and it was groovy…and then my memory burst my bubble. Hmmm, what did I do with that list??

Yeah, either Charlie’s going to have to start sending email notices of his sales or I’ll have to start checking his website daily. I’d better be safe and check often. Oh, to think I could've missed this one. I think I feel faint.

Oh, goodie! Daylilies

Both of my daylily orders arrived today. They all look wonderful with large roots, and I’m very pleased.

Here's the order from Shaw’s Sunshine Gardens after sitting in water for a few hours. Really big plants!  They went back into the water after their photo session.

This is what those plants will look like one day next spring. The Bob Carr daylilies are 'Alien’s Eye', 'Passion District' and 'Sterling Tribute'. The next photos are from the website of Shaw’s Sunshine Gardens.

The second order has also been in water for a couple of hours. Good-sized plants as well. Ida Flynn is the precious lady who owns Bama Daylilies in Sulligent, Alabama. When I found her website about a month or two ago, she was having her final sale because she was closing her nursery after more than 20 years due to health issues. She is now selling only to folks who can come to the garden and dig their plants. So if you're near Sulligent, check out her website and contact her by email. The garden is also for sale.

 More glamor shots.  ‘Wait Until Dark’ is a Bob Carr daylily.

I'll be a busy gardener as soon as the weather breaks and the days are not so hot and humid.
