We have now updated our website for 2024. Hurray!!! We would be delighted for you to look around and if you see something you like, we are ready to take orders. As we do each year, we have added some new additions and retired a few that had been around a while. We are already looking forward to our bloom season and wish for us as well as you, great weather and a wonderful bloom season.
For spring shipments we will ship from early April until the end of May. For fall shipments we outlook shipping from early September through late October. We normally do not dig during bloom season (June through August) as daylilies aren’t happy moving, we are focusing on hybridizing during that time, and like to keep the garden looking fresh for visitors. Please do stop by during bloom season to see them in person and maybe order a few and we will coordinate a pick-up time when the daylilies as well as you will be having weather more suitable for being moved.
Our hybridizing efforts continue to show progress as seen on our Futures page. I add pictures each year to the futures page. Patterns and broken colors in UF’s are our dream. Please stop by the garden during this bloom season although please call ahead to make sure we will be here.
As always, Wanda adds of her winter pots, as well as her Birds, Bees, and Butterflies blog page so be on the lookout for that in the coming weeks.
As many of you know, Wanda is the “Hummingbird lady”. Last year, she had even more hummers than ever, The back porch was full every morning and evening, and very busy all through the day.. With so many, they don’t fight as much as they have in the past. An interesting bit of hummer info, they seem to like Harris Teeter sugar better than other brands. At first I thought it was Wanda’s imagination, but it does seem to be true. Wanda now has the neighbors feeding the local hummers and they say the same thing, use Harris Teeter sugar. Go figure!. Also, just for fun, I ask Wanda to keep track of how much sugar she purchased for the hummers in 2022. 200 pounds!! Amazing..
Thanks, Raymond & Wanda Quinn
