To my big surprise, most of my 144 daylily seedling crosses are budding..They are only 15 months old at this writing. Likewise my 129 iris seedlings. I have seedlings from 2009 that just bloomed this season. Not grown in the same spot.

The only thing I can think of that made a difference is that I added a lot of rotted horse manure in the garden the year before I planted. Others groing in a differet bed is now setting buds and they were from 2010.

As far as daylilies, the earliest are those sprouting January and February in the house 2012, planted out May 2012 and setting buds now.

1] Iris seedling blooming at 14 months.
2] Daylilies planted May 31, 2012 and now setting buds.

Planted 100 more seeds of daylilies and 30 of irises. What was I thinking!!!
