| I just collected a couple handfuls today.
Sorry I can't remember who sent me a request.
Was it you Bobbie in MN?
Too lazy to go through old emails. :-)

| I think people were too polite to mention that while they were not the ones you made agreement with they would love to have some. If you have any extras I would be happy to have few. I planted last year tiger lily flore pleno hopefully it will return- love them they such an easy lily to grow and so prolific... |

Ellen, Absolutely.
In fact, I can do better. Will dig up some grown bulbs for you for our September swap. Talking about being polite....I missed out on a lot of fabulous plants from your garden, because I didn't dare ask for them. Then lo and behold, someone else asked and you, being so generous, dug them up and gave them away!! I could not believe my eyes. ......Will that Rheum palmatum be grown enough by Sept to give me a piece? ...lol.... wheedling now....Does it have purple leaves? I was too dazzled with your garden I could not take everything in. :-D |

I too was dazzled by Ellen's garden. It was so pretty!
I also did not want to ask her to dig anything up. pitimpinai, I need to come see your garden in person sometime.... Or you should post some pics again. i saw some others you posted and it was beautiful! I would love to see more. Karen |

Thanks, Karen. Those pictures are old. Some are very old.
I was just thinking this morning that you guys could come over right now. The Clematis are in full bloom...and I have over 30. lol. Too bad I am leaving on Friday and won't be back until (hoping) the end of the month. :-D |

Thank you for the bulbils! And all the other little goodies! They sure will come in handy.
I lost your email address..silly me I went and deleted the message! SO I am going to ask my question here. Should I plant these out in pots now? Or wait and W/S them this winter? I was thinking I would do it now, since this IS the season the plants put the seed down. And I might forget if I wait til winter! Thanks again Jenny P DUH! I just looked at your note, and there is your email address right there, in front of me! LOL! |

Hi, Jenny,
Glad they arrived and that you like them.
Absolutely. Plant them now. They will grow roots right away.
Mind you, it will take a few years before those bulbils start to bloom. But it is worth the wait. They are very easy to grow. Have fun. :-) |

| Hi, I am a long time lily grower. I have a q about Tigers. I haven't grown them. How are they disease wise? I can't grow orientals or asiatics here because of disease everywhere. Diagnosed by the Mid Atlantic Lily Society as a virus in my soil and I'm not about to replace my yard! Orienpets and trumpets do fine though. How hearty are Tigers and are they good naturalizers? TIA |
