Deeply Rooted
I dont remember what all i sent.
most everything should probably go in pots i think for the time being except for Eby's daylilies, so, so that you know sort of what you are planting where i'll try to explain:
there is a daylily wrapped in newspaper labeled pink. its pink. it came from my grandmothers yard after she passed and is registered but i have no idea what the name is.
there is a larger clump of daylily (like 4 or 5 plants) that i cut back, and it is light yellow and named Frivolous Frills. it tends to be a heavier bloomer and a rebloomer for me. good grower, i would divide it now. it looks like this but this is not my photo:
then there is a clump of three of four and you can tell by the foliage that it is a smaller, shorter daylily. it is a red one that i bought a long time ago from a woman who called it Chippy Cherry. but i can't find it registered so i guess she never got around to registering it or either named it something different instead or decided not to register it. here it be. its really more of a maroonish red than this photo indicates.
and then there is a doublefan i believe that i snipped the tops off, and it is an orangeish daylily that came from grandmothers also. also registered but dont know the name of it either and i never could find any of her daylily records if she had any. no pics of this one, its just like.. kind of dark orange :/
also i sent two pieces of kalanchoe if you can find those, a larger older look piece that is pink and a smaller leafier looking piece is red. you probably already have the pink?
there should be enough hens and chicks to get a good start of that. i think i sent a piece that had some roots already on it and all the leaves will root if they got broke off.
horsetail is in a ziplock bag. i included some tips that have little horsetail growths on them and those will probably root. i would just cut a little below the bottom of them (the new growths) and stick the whole parent stem down in some soil and they will probably form roots at the base of the newgrowth. (sometimes they root in water)
i stuffed some coleus cuttings in a bag of something-- i expected them to get to you already but oh well. if you cant salvage any of the coleus its no big deal they will get killed soon here anyway. mine in the water still havent rooted yet, but i'll send more later on.
oh yeah and the seeds-
two packs of morning glory seeds someone sent to me earlier this year. i imagine some of those should be good still. unforntunately morning glory is appreciated as a weed here on the farm. i do like the dark blue ones tho, but will have to appreciate them from afar for the time being.
and i sent some Old Fashioned Petunia seeds. they are pretty fool-proof and good reseeders assuming they get to bare ground. supposedly fragrant, but my smeller aint no good. most of those came from hotpink parents, but that doesnt mean much.
and i think i sent some pieces of purslane. mine is white and some of the flowers are half white and half yellow like your four oclocks are..
thats all that i can think of right now. i meant to send you some other seeds too but i forgot. maybe next time.
oh yeah, and the african iris seeds. super easy to start.
oh and some Hurricane Lily bulbs so you will know when to board up.
