Catching up a little for 2016!

Well I seem to be getting back to putting more on my Blogs these days. It takes more writing so more time as well!
This year is a year of new beginnings as I dug up my main lily area two falls a go and then lost most of the bulbs as I did not get them back in the ground! The old area has been converted to a mixed flower area with Iris and Daylily seedlings as well as a few shrubs and other seedling plants. More on that later!

Last late summer/early fall with the help of my wife and our niece I replanted a number of bulbs from that season but there were no surviving trumpets which was very sad. I am trying to regrow trumpets as I had gathered a lot of seed the previous year as well as buying some.
 Sadly a number of the tags have been lost or become unreadable.
 About 19 plants per row and 6 rows so far.
 A good job well done!









So this spring and summer 99% of these bulbs grew up and many flowered. So good to see!
Here are some of the results from the blooming season! Most are seedlings without names.
