I just got a wonderful box from Mary Jane Meadows (Bubbles on the LA)! I wasn't expecting anything until May, because heck, we had snow showers on Wednesday! And my trees still don't have leaves and my daffodils and tulips are still freezing.....
But this box came, and the weather is absolutely GORGEOUS outside and it is supposed to stay that way for a few days, so it is perfect timing.
I won some Last Snowflake X Westbourne seedlings from her on the LA, and then separately ordered Oranges For Christmas. I have wanted OFC since seeing Rita rave about it for several years now, and have wanted LS, but never saw it for a price I was happy with - but these seedlings, crossed with her Westbourne's are exactly perfect. She sent Hard Times as a bonus.
I just LOVE Westbourne daylilies - they are amazing bloomers and were really tough in that miserable summer we had last year, and have survived the frigid winter better even than some of my dormants. I know I am going to love all of these - although now I need to find someplace to plant them!!!
These daylily roots were wrapped in damp paper towels, and then in plastic bags, and look great. OFC is leek sized, the rest, even as seedlings, are moderate sized.
I'm a happy person today
