Sale? or No Sale? That is the question.

OK, OK.... I've been so bad.  But where daylilies are concerned, that's good, right?

A turn of events:  I may not be able to attend the sale (as a vender) in three weeks, being run by the local daylily group.  I NEEEEED to free up the space those plants are using in my gardens!  Looks like I'll be having a literal YARD sale, in June!  Here in the north, plants don't get very big by mid-May, unless there's an early spring.  This has been a late spring; weather is still chilly.  Hence, waiting a few more weeks will give the plants more time to look impressive for sale.  Then, when those plants are OUT, I can plug in the new ones that will be coming in quickly for a few weeks.  The down side is that word will have to get out via different routes.  I might have to pay to advertise the sale.  The up side is, I won't have to share the proceeds with the group, as it's a fundraiser for them when they host it.   Also, if I don't sell them all on weekend #1, I can try it again later!  

Plants I know for certain must be moved:

Stella de Oro (of course... prolific, and who doesn't have plenty of those?)
Happy Returns (ditto, if you have them.  I get better rebloom from them, and I like 'em better!)
Little Bob (a small, dark red)
Canyon Lands (rose brown & gold blend, eyezone)
Cinnamon Roll (Bright yellow brushed cinnamon)
Gallant Hour (very reliable, older red, average size)
Dublin Elaine (late, pink, double... nice)
Elves (perky yellow)
Firestorm (one of my favorites!  Hot and spidery)
Isaac (nice clear yellow, average size, or slightly smaller)
Lady's Torch (an older, average red)
Grape Adventure (an older, average purple)
Black Cat (there is no such thing as a true black or white daylily,  only "near black," or "near white," many just being dark red or purple, or palest of yellows, pinks, etc. -- but this one is VERY close to black!  I'm quite fond of it!  But it has been "having kittens" every year,  so some of it needs to go.  I have a space set aside to represent my animals, of which there have been a couple of black kitties over the years, and also am planning a Halloween themed garden!  So, a bit of it can go there.  Still, that will leave more with no room for it.)

There are others in the gardens that truly need division.  Poor things are so clumped up!  I hate to make them wait yet another year, just because space will be at a premium this year.  I was going to try to include as many of these as possible in the sale also.

We'll see.  I'll have to think about this some more.
