It's been a busy month, starting with DVDS Split & Splash, where we get together to split & tag the donated daylilies we sell the next Saturday in Paoli, PA.
Cynthia Marriott brought these from her garden: from top left= Shimmering Sunray, Third Witch, Unknown Red, a Don Herr seedling, (row 2) Last Man Standing, Tiger Prince, Mynelle's Starfish, Fancy Button; (row 3) Don Herr seedling, Victoria's Secret, Twice as Nice, Fire King.
Terry Oates' Point of View, Bridgeton Gem, Beautiful Edgings; (Row 2, inset) Lady Neva, Be Thankful (orange), Showtime Now (Lavender), Frans Hals; (row 3) Tuscawilla Tigress, Chesapeake Crablegs, Harwood seedling HS-40 from Ruddys, and Bridgeton Eyecatcher; (bottom row) Peacock Maiden, Night Vision, Little Wine Cup, Siloam Double Fringe, and Commanche Maiden.
Jacque' DeJesse's (top row) Point of View, Cool Cassie, and Annabelle Rose; (row 2) Subliminal Message, Cerulean Star rebloom, Nicole Joyce, Singing In the Sunshine; (bottom) Planet Max, Red Hill, Jersey Jim, Sandra Elizabeth, and The Sky is Falling.
On August 12, I started 7 proliferations from one clump of Jim Murphy's "Rocket Science". I use Cynthia Marriott's method- stick it in water just up to the root line until roots are about an inch long, then plant directly into garden soil. You can sometimes pop the prolif off the scape, and get it started without sacrificing any unbloomed buds, but the scape gives the prolif support during the rooting process. I cut off the scape before planting, but Cynthia leaves it on if possible to provide aditional support.
