early spring , two year and one year seedlings
daylilies starting to bloom, two year old seedling in front of old goat shed.
It is a real thrill to go out and walk through the pen to see what new colors and shapes will appear.You never know what that first time bloom will be.
As you can see it was well worth the wait of cross breeding ,one year harvesting seed, second year starting  seedlings, blooming third year.
This one seedling had a supper thick scape with 40 plus buds another surprise.

What to do with and empty goat pen. It turned out to be a great place to start daylily seedlings. Spacing  about nine inches apart and rows one foot apart  the pen holds about 800 seedlings. Three hundred were started one year and five  hundred the next. I look forward to this coming year when hundreds will bloom for the first time .
