I just can't believe it is August already! The summer has really went fast! As bad as I hate to see the blooms leaving, I am super excited to see some pods forming on daylilies, lilies, and water lilies! Still trying to figure out if I like that colored wire thing for the daylily crosses.
Did get my first daylily seeds the other day. Not many but they are the first seeds from any cross pollination's I have made!
That crossing daylilies can be a bit frustrating! You make crosses with the greatest hopes of getting seeds. A pod either does not set or it will set only to abort (Grrrrr). I hope to get better at making crosses as my experience grows. I do feel that I have had a good number of pods set for this being my first year trying hybridizing. Now if I can just get seeds to sprout!
I still have a few other blooms here and there. Really need to work on some late summer early Autumn plants. Really would like to have more color in the fall. Here's some blooms still going on.
Tried my hand at scaling lily bulbs. Was a little unsure if I could figure it out but after reading info here and there , it actually worked! Now to try it on some of the more expensive bulbs. ;)
Here are a few other things around and the next post should be about more seeds.....Hopefully!
