Congrats Charla! Looks like you have the fever. That's a fine looking baby there.

That's a lot of beautiful seedlings! 8-) 8-) 8-)

I'm not even going to comment separately on them, because I'd just say the same thing over and over: Nice babies, everyone! :D

Those are great looking seedlings! It will be interesting to watch them grow up.
I finally got around to sowing my seeds last week. I meant to do it the beginning of Jan. but I got too busy at work. :???:
I have sowed some Lakesides...namely Charm, Dimpled Darling, Hoola Hoop, Treasure Chest, and Zesty Zeno, and I did a cross with Stained Glass. Time will tell. I also sowed all of the daylily crosses that I did last year. So now I just have to wait and see what happens. I am really looking forward to seeing what I get from the L. Treasure Chest seeds. Here's my fingers crossed now for the next month. :???:

I am having fun with my streakies! I have had several more come up from different varieties. I am amazed at how fast the babies grow and change...almost as fast as puppies!

Here is an updated photo of my streaky babies! I think it has been about a week since the last photo. They have a very shiny surface so it is hard to get a photo without glare...The colors are much prettier than can be seen in this photo. I have some other streakys sprouting, too. This is exciting!

Jeroen, this hosta looks like it has "determination." It looks like it has purpose. Do you have any names picked out yet?
