Oh, forgot to say that it wasn't a seed of my own making ... I bought it off the Lily Auction.

I've really enjoyed seeing everyones seedlings! Keep them coming.

So far this is my favorite seedling this year ... but then we have just begun.

Love it!

bengal, Wow! That PRECIOUS CANDY is something!

I love the EE reds too. I have a couple reds that were new last year and didn't bloom, so am looking forward to seeing them bloom this year.

So unusual and delicate.

Very pretty!

I made a trade several years back for some Japanese Iris. All but 2 died. This is the 4th year for these 2 and they both will bloom.

Here is the picture of Imperial Magic:

Well, I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. I have stella blooming and a ton of buds. By the look of the buds it will still be a week or 2 before any open. :D Happy to say though that lots of seedlings that haven't bloomed in the past will bloom this year. Pictures WILL be taken of them. :wink: s...

If you choose to overwinter it, be ready for it to drop a ton of leaves. It was very messy.

Mary Ann, I'm assuming you are from Chicago, that makes you in the same zone.

So when do you pinch back the sedum autumn joy?

Party, I love the leaves too. I makes the plant seen 'tropical' to me. Every spring I look for those leaves.

Ok, I went web searching ... Looks like for our zone we should pinch them back in early June. Also, I found that you should pinch back bee balm. Found a ton of references to pinching back the asters and mums till the beginning of July as many of you stated. Found an interesting note saying for tall ...

I've read before we are supposed to do this with the taller growing sedums. But I've never had the nerve before.
So wondering when others do this ... I don't want to cut off any flower heads.

Do you pinch back any other flowers before they bloom? Cone flowers?

Thanking you in advance.

Last year I dug up my Gladiator Alliums and found they had produced a bunch of bulbs. What to do with all of them? I gave some away ... still had about 15. So I lined the back of one of my gardens. The back of the garden gets about 6 hours of sun, then it is in shade. so I wasn't sure how they would...

Claudia, I finally found this plant last year at an expensive local nursery. I barely kept it alive over the winter. If anyone has any hints on how to take better care of it over the winter, PLEASE let me know. I hardly see any hummingbirds in my yard, but saw one several times last year at the Blac...

Midnight, What kind did you Plant? I planted Sedum Acre and Dragon's Blood and love them both. They are kind of slow growing, but very thick. I also have Sedum Tri-color and I am not very excited about that one. I'm thinking of ripping it up. It is not a very thick covering at all. Also, each leaf i...

I just had to peek in on your trades to see what you all were getting.

Alexa, what a nice box indeed! I just got my first 2 Tirella last year and both are blooming ... you are going to love them!

You guys really ordered some nice ones! I just know they will all bloom beautifully for you this year. I hadn't realized Chris was selling all the dwarf asiatics and orientals. I certainly NEED several of those. :D I will be ordering a couple next spring I guess. The Tango series looks interesting t...

OC, I think all of my 'old' lilies have come back, but I ordered several new ones last year. And all of those except Triumphator have come back. I think I have one tiny bud just breaking the ground.

The torch lilies look great!
