I didn't even think of it as hijacked, those were all responses relevant to the thread I thought.
Yes, getting rid of the culls, that is going to be the hard but necessary part of me staying in the daylily hobby without getting overloaded. Doing that, and limiting the space devoted to them.
I have made two big divergences from my restrictive buying plan, one early this spring (bought 25 seedlings for $10.00 from a grower in Florida) and one yesterday (ordered 24 plants for $1.00 each)off the ATP site. I have no idea what those plants will be. I can see just a slip or two each year like that and I could end up overloaded, but it will expose me to a greater variety of plants, and it will make the chore of culling any of them when necessary much easier than if they were $50.00 plants. See how well we can rationalize our purchases.
My other really big problem is that I am so used to creating a new bed every year, and I really, really enjoy that. Plus, I have a fantastic area along my back fence that would make a perfect daylily bed. I can't imagine how hard it is going to be over the winter to sit and look out the window at that area and not start digging.
