I get such pride and comfort in the trees that I planted from seeds almost 20 years ago - I look at that ginkgo and just feel awe. If I moved and left it here, then someone else gets the benefit, no problem. Similar for fig trees, that I grew from cuttings 14 years ago. Producing like crazy, nice robust looking trees, and I think, wow, I grew that from a cutting? So I don't think about the daylilies needing 2 or 3 years to bloom. Just plant them, putter with the seeds and seedlings, then plant in an extra raised bed or containers, and putter and grow them until they bloom.<br /><br />I have one bearded iris that bloomed this year, from seeds that I planted maybe 3 years ago. It was white with a yellow beard. Came from Immortality - pure white, and Spiced Custard - yellow and golden brown. Smaller flower, but here the big frilly flowers turn into what looks like wet Kleenex in the spring rain. That was interesting and I'm anxious to see what it does next year. Similar type of project.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-38242584578689158852015-08-20T17:42:45.775-07:002015-08-20T17:42:45.775-07:00You got to have a ton of patience for this kind of...You got to have a ton of patience for this kind of thing. I will watch a seed germinates if its a veg, the exception will be some kind of exotic tree or flower like pineapple lily.lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-81336974177180027062015-08-14T05:54:17.851-07:002015-08-14T05:54:17.851-07:00I'm going to have to try that.
