They told me that I should change this paragraph.I edited it and checked grammar.Is it good?
Anything I should change??? I couldn't write the 2 compared paragraphs. I beg you go to the link. I really need to know how good it is.
From this paragraph:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
To this one: The next Morning, everyone was wordlessly having breakfast in the jade, glamorous garden before the house except for David who was sleeping on the couch in the living room. He spent a long night in front of the TV, watching the news till two o’clock in the morning. A triple tier stone fountain was in the middle of the sunny, daylily garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees which leaned their slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table below them. Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes which reminded her of her mother’s delightful ones which Angela, when she was young, often begged for.
SO?
They told me that I should change this paragraph.I edited it and checked grammar.Is it good?
I wrote this over for you.
Please be informed that I passed English with 99%.
The next morning, everyone was having breakfast in the jade, a glamorous garden next to the house, excepted for David who was sleeping on the couch in the livingroom.
He stood up late watching TV News until 2:00 AM... A Triple tier stone was in the middle of the resplendent garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees.
Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancake, which reminded her of her mother's delightful ones...
Correction. The word "Morning" shouldn't have been capitalized.
Correction: Any sentence that can be broken down and still maintains a solid communication is considered incorrect. For example: wordlessly doesn't make sense.
Keep on eye on my correction and learn from it.
Bye for now.

A triple tier stone founstain sat in the middle of the sunny, daylilly garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees with their slight shadows draping the simple, beige breakfast table down below.
Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes which reminded her of her mother's delightful ones that she so often begged for as a child.
Gotta watch those commas and try to not end sentences with either THEM or IT
Dangling...

Those where the only things I caught. But I do think that you are using too much description and way too much alliteration. Other than that, it's really great!!
God Bless!
Reply:I like the imagery, but think it needs a little reworking. How 'bout this:
The next morning all were happy but quiet as they ate breakfast in the pretty, jade garden in front of the house. (All, except David, who still slept on the living room sofa.) Angela peered into the water of the garden's, stone fountain, shining like diamonds, bounced from layer to layer. Thirstily, her eyes swept across the sun-drenched, daylily garden; beautifully framed within a kaleidescope of ornamental trees. With lazy movement, faint shadows drifted back and forth across the beige table before them. Without noticing she fixed her eyes upon the honey pancakes before them and was transported to her mother's own table, which held her own plump and sumptuous pancakes that delighted her so as a child that she plead and begged for more.
Reply:It's obviously very descriptive....It's good. In writing though, (if you're worried about grammar) I would use until instead of till. Also, morning does not need to be capitalized.
Reply:Morning shouldn't be capitalized. It's pretty good, but it sounds a little too...extravagant. Remove some of the adjectives. You shouldn't use so many if you are talking about something so simple as a pancake breakfast in the garden. What should have been a couple of sentences, you turned into a whole paragraph. Other than that, it's pretty good! :)
Reply:The next morning, everyone in the family, including Angela was served her favorite breakfast of honey pancakes. As a child she would beg her mother for them.
In the mean time David laid on the couch in the living room still sleeping from his late night of watching TV.
Sounds could be heard as the water trickled down the triple tier stone fountain. All of which was surrounded by gorgeous flower garden of day lilies abundant with bright colors. In the background were various ornamental trees blowing gracefully in the summer wind. The sun was beginning to glow through the branches and mark the simple beige breakfast table below with their soft shadows.
Reply:The next morning everyone except David was quietly having breakfast in the garden, because David had watched the news on tv until 2am and was still asleep there on the couch.
{ then here describe the garden. }
Angela looked at the honey pancakes which it reminded her of when she was young and begged her mother to make her delightful pancakes.
Reply:"Morning" (first sentence) shouldn't be capitalized.
Reply:1. The next Morning, everyone except for David, was silently having breakfast in the jade, glamorous garden (near?) the house.
before and wordlessly make it awkward to read.
2. David, however, was sleeping on the couch in the living room because had spent a long night in front of the TV, watching the news UNTIL two o’clock in the morning.
3. "A triple tier stone fountain was in the middle of the sunny, daylily garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees, which leaned their slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table below them."
This is out of place. You go from talking about david then back to the outsside. It's confusing and needs to be rearanged with a lead in sentence. Maybe something like Everyone else was busy looking at the... or something of that nature. Or maybe Back in the garden there was...
4. Is this the first time you introduce Angela? if not don't worry if it is Angela need a description.
Reply:I am just here to read all your responses that you have received from these people. I just wanted to see how well they know English. Gayle tried her best, but she failed to use proper punctuations.

Daylilies come in a wide rage of colors today with more added every year. From an almost white to a deep, dark plum.
Plants range in size with scapes reaching upto 5 ft and dwarfs under 1 ft tall.

What indiana invasive has been widely used for soil stabilization?
I live in Ky. and they use crown vetch. Purple loosestrife is invasive in wetland areas and garlic mustard is taken over our woodlands. The dayliliy isn't really considered invasive but is a exotic garden escape and is a naturalized wildflower.

When do day lilies start blooming?
Daylilies start to flower in early summer and continue into autumn.
Reply:After planting? I would say at least a year is needed so that the plant can become established. And I would say by the second year you should be getting a pretty good supply of blooms from the plant.
Reply:well usually later. Mine (in Alabama) have just come out of the ground. It will take a few more months for them to start blooming. They usually like hot weather

I just spent the whole night on this paragraph and need help to know if it was good? Can you help me?
Next Morning, everyone was wordlessly having breakfast in the jade, glamorous garden before the house except for David who was sleeping on the couch in the living room after his long night in front of the TV, watching the news till 2’O clock in the morning. A triple tier stone fountain was in the middle of the sunny, daylily garden. It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees which leaned its slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table below it. Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes which reminded her of her mother’s delightful ones for which Angela, when she was young, begged her mother to make them on every meal.
I dunno if the last line is good enough too. I just wrote it before I ask the question. Is it too long? I need something about Angela's mother so I could open the next paragraph. When I wrote the line and stopped at "delieghtful ones", I thought it was to short.
What do you think of the whole thing???
I just spent the whole night on this paragraph and need help to know if it was good? Can you help me?
well. to be honest it looks like you put a lot of effort into it but I do see some things that you can still work on.. I really don't mean to be offensive by this. You use a lot of description in your work which makes it a bit too wordy but interesting nonetheless, also your sentences are quite long (you might want to review the punctuation). You should start your first sentence with "The" infront of the word "next".. seems to make more sense. Anyway, overall I think its good. Keep up the good work.
Reply:I think it's pretty good. good imagry, but your sentences feel like they're too long, and you need a little work on the overall grammar and structure of the paragraph. for example: "It was surrounded by many colors of ornamental trees which leaned its slight shadows on the simple, beige breakfast table" doesn't make sense, it should say..." which leaned their slight shadows," since you're talking about ornamental trees. if it's the fountain you're talking about casting the shadows, then u need to reword the sentence. the last sentence also needs work. not that it's not good, but instead of it reading: "which Angela, when she was young, begged her mother to make them on every meal." (this doesn't sound right) it should probably read: her mother's delightful ones which Angela, when she was young, often begged for" or: " her mother's delightful ones. When she was young, she begged her mother to make them for every meal" also, i think you shouldn't use numerals like "2" in 2 o'clock. rather, spell it out. "two o'clock."
Reply:"...when she was young, begged her mother to make them on every meal."
You need to re-word the last line. It should sound something like "...Begged her mother to make them at every meal."
And also, you need to write out "2 o' clock" correctly.
Reply:Over all, it wasn't bad. the first sentence was a bit too much. if you find some way to reword that-mostly it should be fine. It's not too long, in my opinion. personally, I find it hard to make my work long enough...other than that....re-do "2'o clock" and it should be fine. Good luck.
Reply:Your first sentence is far too long. Spelling mistakes also need to be looked at. To me, it seems as though you are trying to pack way too much descriptive language in way too often. For the last line, why mention 'Angela' twice? A rule of thumb to remember is 'try not to use the same word twice in a sentence or paragraph.' Sometimes it's not possible to do, but the key is 'try.'
You seem to have a good grasp of descriptive language, but in my humble opinion, you went a bit overboard. If I had further time, I wouldn't have been so blunt and would have taken the time/space to use specific examples and suggest solutions. Sorry about that...but you aren't far off, so don't get discouraged.
Reply:Maybe try it more like my example below, when you break it down it looks better and sounds better.
The next morning everyone except David was quietly having breakfast in the garden, because David had watched the news on tv until 2am and was still asleep there on the couch.
{ then here describe the garden. }
Angela looked at the honey pancakes which it reminded her of when she was young and begged her mother to make her delightful pancakes.

Reply:1. "The next morning"
2. Delete "glamorous." Instead, let a more vivid description of the garden show the reader that it's glamorous.
3. Instead of using words like "many," be specfic. Tell me the colors to make the scene pop.
4. Delete "simple," unnecessary adjective.
5. Simplify the last line by breaking into two sentences. It's difficult for both reader and writer to juggle too many dependent clauses without losing interest in the sentence (unless you're Henry James).
6. Replace delightful with someone more appropriate for taste.
"As Angela fixed her eyes on the honey pancakes, she thought about the ones her mother used to make." And so on...
Overall, it's nice. You could make it very poignant if you also included other sensory details. How does the breakfast room smell? What are the sounds?
Reply:you have a good imagination and have a lot to say and have a made a great start to your story. write and rewrite. use a graphic organizer to set up your writing and to inspire new ideas. write, then read your first draft later in the day or the next. you will have more clarity of thought looking at it from the perspective of a few hours. having us read it is a good idea too, that way you will get input in a constructive way. the more who read your writing the better! dont be afraid to use a thesaurus, it will add spice to your writing and increase vocabulary. sometimes, a single word or two can eliminate lots of unnecessary ones.
a couple of things to improve on. too many words. readers get choked up with them. by the time i read all those words, i forgot what i was reading. simple, say what you need to say and thats it! run on sentences. also, spell check only checks for spelling errors, not the proper usage.
BUT, keep writing and reading. it will only increase understanding in other content areas and increases your vocab. youre doing great! trust.
Reply:In every writing class they tell you continually "cut," "cut," "cut." This is because if you don't, what you write can get too wordy. This is too wordy. Some of the details are not really necessary to the story, especially the descriptions. Here is my suggestion because I don't know exactly what you feel you can cut, I did not cut enough probably:
The following morning everyone, except for David, who still lay sleeping on the living room sofa, breakfasted silently in the lovely jade garden before the house. A triple tier stone fountain in the center of the sunny daylily garden cast a slight shadow on the beige breakfast table below it. Angela fixed her eyes hungrily on the honey pancakes remembering her mother's delightful pancakes for which she had begged often when she was a child.

Have you ever eaten an edible flower?
I have used dried daylily in my Chinese vegetable stew. Where fresh zucchini flowers are concerned, I stuff them with a rice-based mixture. In addition, a fine jam can be made out of rose petals. Finally, an excellent traditional Asian salad can be made out of banana flower buds.

Why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
I am a daylily lover. I have found that once the initial scapes finish blooming, no other scapes come up and, of course, no other blooms develope. So, why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
Who knows the answer?
Why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
i have been growing award winning day lilies for over 15 years. am also a master gardener with univ of Calif. so you can count on no spam or guess work from me. many of the hundreds of new day lilies coming out each year are called repeat bloomers because.... they repeat bloom. you were expecting me to say something different? day lilies have always been a single bloom cycle per season. bloom once and see ya next year. not any more. repeaters have 2, 3 and even 5 bloom cycles a year. especially hear in the west. i have a few that did 6 cycles last year. i had beautiful bloom thur Christmas. it's almost a shame to waste time with single cycle plants. but there are still many outstanding single cycle day lilies that are so wonderful, that the one time a year bloom is worth it. great, easy to grow, almost carefree plant. some purples and blood reds will knock your eyes out. check some out in your garden. you won't be sorry.
Reply:Because some are bred to rebloom-- sometimes later in the summer. Like fragrance-- some have it, some don't. Like size, some are 36 inches tall, others arent.
If you will google Missouri and daylilies-- you may get a breeder (whose name excapes me right now)- get their catalogue and it gives you the varieties and their blooming habits.
good luck
Reply:I believe they will come up year after year.
Reply:I think its because some types of daylily's will bloom again once they've finished blooming.

Does someone know the name of this flower? I think it's a kind of daylily although it's planted in the water.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Maverick there. I think it looks much more like a Spider Lilly in the genus Hymenocallis which IS in the family Amaryllidaceae.
If you notice, the original question notes the plant was growing in water, and Hymenocallis prefers wet habitats where as Pancratium prefer dry habitats.
Here are some pictures of the Spider lilly:

Reply:Hymenocallis means "beautiful membrane" in Greek, which refers to the staminal corona.
The prifix 'hymen' is significant here . Report It
Reply:It is pancratium No doubt.
Pancratium is a genus of about 18 species flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, which also including the genera Narcissus (true daffodils) and Galanthus (snowdrops).
The genus is found along the coastline of the Mediterranean area extending to the Canary Islands, tropical Africa and tropical Asia.
The plants are herbaceous perennial, growing from bulbs. The flowers are large, white and fragrant. Perianth tube and corona are present.
Plants belonging to the genus Pancratium have been found in prehistoric Cretan frescoes.
"Pancratium" is derived from the Greek and means "strength", probably referring to the strength of a plant that can tolerate extreme climates.
Pancratium species often inhabit extremely dry and sandy areas.
Many species has been published under Pancratium but most have been transferred to other genera.
Only a few species are cultivated. P. maritimum and P. illyricum being the hardiest for outdoor cultivation, but shy of flowering in cool areas. P. zeylanicum is sometimes grown as a hothouse container plant.

saw there awesome cream and plum colored plants. they looked like oversized daylilies. the clerk said she thought they were daylilies, but wasn't sure.
IDo Daylily come in cream %26amp; plum or only yellow and orange.?
Daylilies come in a wide rage of colors today with more added every year. From an almost white to a deep, dark plum.
Plants range in size with scapes reaching upto 5 ft and dwarfs under 1 ft tall.
blooms from 1 1/2 in to 5 in across.

What are some examples of parallel venation (leaves)?
I know that daylily and corn leaves are, but what about palms?
I have a project that I need to do and I can't find any corn or daylily leaves, but we have palm leaves.
What are some examples of parallel venation (leaves)?
The Monocotyledons like Grass, Lilies, Amaryllis, Bananas, Orchids.
Excuse me: I just saw the small detail sentences.
You can take the palm leaves and you might find some grass-leaves too.

I cut some roots of my tree (when dividing a perennial), now the roots are sprouting. How to stop that?
I cut some roots by accident on my weeping cherry tree when I was dividing a daylily. The roots are constantly sprouting now, how do i stop that? Thanks!
I cut some roots of my tree (when dividing a perennial), now the roots are sprouting. How to stop that?
I had this occur with a honey locust tree.
I just kept cutting the new shoots to ground level whenever they sprouted. It took a couple of growing seasons and diligence, but eventually the suckers stopped coming up and it didn't harm the tree or other plants planted in the same area.

How do I kill off fescue and crabgrass with out chemicals?
My flower bed has been taken over by fescue and crabgrass, is there a way to kill off the weed seeds without killing the Iris and DayLily in the same bed. Do not want to use chemical as have a 4 yr old grandson who plays in that area.
How do I kill off fescue and crabgrass with out chemicals?
Try spraying the leaves of the plants you don't want with bleach. Yup, good old household beach. You may want to take an old empty bottle cut the bottom out so you can place it around the plants you don't want then spray the bleach in the opening of that bottle. That way you don't get bleach on anything but the plant you want to kill. The other way to do it is good old table salt. Sprinkle the salt at the base of the plant. When it rains, the salt dissolves into the soil and dries the roots out. The problem with that though, is it may kill some of the other plants that the salt leaches to in the rain.
Reply:Depends how closely planted it is. If not too dense, i would pul up all the weeds you can see then mulch with about 4 thicknesses of newspaper, overlapped well at the edges and put some compost or grass clippings or other loose mulch thickly on top. This will stop seeds germinating and will help to kill off the roots left in. But make sure the soil is well watered before you do it as rain will not penetrate well. The newspaper will rot by next spring.

Daylily's *Happy Returns* Hemerocallis?
I have some of these on the side of my house. I don't want to move them. But I would like to expand the to the other side of the house also. Can I take a piece of the exsisting flower and move it. How is this done. When should it be done.
Daylily's *Happy Returns* Hemerocallis?
You could easily divide them, and in fact, as they get overgrown, it is something you should probably do. Dig them up and split them apart. Probably the autumn is the best time.

How to plant daylily's seeds?
Although daylilies normally grow from a bulbs (you don't really see daylily seeds at the store), yes, they produce viable seeds if you do it right. It's difficult but rewarding to grow bulbs from seeds.
Wait until the seeds are ripe--it's pretty easy to tell because the pods are brown and all. Scatter the seeds evenly in a clay pot of a special, sterilized, germinating mix of potting soil. Keep moist in a shady spot. At the end of the second growing season, move to a larger pot.
It takes over three years for them to reach flowering size.
IMPORTANT NOTE: But really, the best way to reproduce daylilies is to plant the bulblets that sprout on the sides of the bulb.
How to plant daylily's seeds?
You need to break off some of the root when the plant is too crowded. Lay the bulbs sideways. And I think they should be placed shallowly.

Daylily seed?
Daylilies, or hemerocallis, is grown from bareroot stock, rather than seed or bulbs. You can thus take a small portion of an existing plant and re-root it in a new location. Most people with daylilies would be delighted to give you a start. Stella D'oro daylilies are the most reliable and common. If you want to buy them, they come in a bag of 6-12 roots for $5-$8 at your ocal Home Depot of Lowes..
Reply:They do form seeds, but I have never tried to grow them, nor have I had one reseed itself when I leave the flower stems on until spring....Good question. Generally they are grown from root divisions.

Plant (daylily) leaves/frons turning yellow?
I bought them four days ago. They sat in the pots with good soil in the sun, but I made sure they had water, too. The frons are turning yellow. They are supposed to be planted in full sun. Too much water? I am planting them in the ground right now.
Plant (daylily) leaves/frons turning yellow?
Shock and stress will cause some yellowing in daylilies. Go ahead and plant them in the ground. These are very forgiving plants. Well water well until the plant is established. You can also use a root starter on them to lessen the shock.
Reply:So I am wondering if the plants you bought were fresh dug or container grown. If they were dug for sale and stuffed into a pot it is no surprise they are stressing out. Container grown plants should not be turning yellow but it could happen in an afternoon if they got extremely dry, or, if the plants were grown too close together and the bases of the leaves had no exposure to sunlight in the nursery. You could diagnose this latter condition if the base of the leaves is very pale green or white.
They will most likely be fine. Make sure you are not over or underwatering them this summer and plan for a better look next year.
Reply:you will have a few to turn yellow it is sock from being trans planted, keep the soil just damp and try some Mariel grow plant fertilizer
Reply:They have just finished blooming and do not need a lot of water now. They should not be turning yellow yet. Cut back on water but realize that they may be going through shock. This is the wrong time to transplant them (August/September).

Daylily seeds?
I have yellow daylillies that are done flowering. They have pods with little black seeds. I always thought lillies spread through their root systems. Can I harvest the seeds %26amp; try to start them in spring? Any tips on starting them?
Daylily seeds?
Yes! Leave the pods on the plant long enough for them to mature. In the fall (or as soon as you notice the pod starting to split open) remove the pod from the stem and store until next spring. I generally store the pod, wrapped in paper towels, in a glass or plastic jar or container in the refrigerator for 6 months to 5 years. I speak from experience when I warn you to make a note on the paper towel as a reminder of which seeds are which plant. In the spring, plant the seeds. My best successes have been when I barely cover the seeds, in pots, water from the bottom and mist the top. Transplant into your garden when the have grown at least 4 inches.
Reply:Funny, I just noticed the same thing with my daylillies. I know that when you buy these they are bulbs, and I know for a fact that when you want to divide daylillies, you wait until late summer when they are done flowering and you divide the roots.
However, as far as those "seed pods" I really don't know, but I am fairly sure that you will not get daylillies if you plant them.
Reply:Yes. Keep them in a dry place, like in a paper bag with some rice to absorb any moisture and plant in spring. I do it every year.

I have hybridized daylily seeds from 2006. Will they grow if I plant them this year?
Plant them immediately, right now, even if you have to dig thru the snow. Plant them now.
I planted mine in December here in Chicago every year. And they come up;
Now on Hybrids, those of course revert back to the originals, who knows what you will get on those. I am surprised to learn that there are hybrids in daylillies as that pollen is airborne quite easily and what would you cut off without disturbing the pollen base on these? I know they say hybrid, but i doubt it.
I have hybridized daylily seeds from 2006. Will they grow if I plant them this year?
Try it and see. Some seeds will not grow at all if you are crossing hybrids. Sometimes the seeds of hybrids will be sterile. That's one reason they make say, grapes, from cuttings instead of seeds.
Reply:Finally somebody else into daylilies. I also crosspollinated my daylilies and saved the seeds for this year. I just asked a similar question yesterday but got no answers.

All of mine are of the reblooming type and i have some in bloom year around. Last Christmas Day both my Roses and daylilies were in full bloom %26amp; it was a sight to see.

My daylily blooms are down in the foliage so that they can't be seen. what is wrong?
The daylilies have been dug and divided, but this year's blooms are the same. I didn't have this problem until last year. The daylilies are planted in good soil and have been fed with natural fertilizer.
My daylily blooms are down in the foliage so that they can't be seen. what is wrong?
I have had day lillies for about 11 years but have seen no pattern regarding the placement of the blooms. Usually they are up and down the stalk. I think that you are doing everything right from what you have described.

I live in Tacoma, WA and I'm scared it's too late to plant them, but I don't know. Thanks.

I would put them in the ground right away. They should bloom okay, it is still early. I amended my soil with rotten vegetation from the bottom of my old pond and it did wonders for my daylillies. It also did marvels for my tomatoes.
Reply:The climate in WA is ideal for flowers like day-lilies, plant them and see how they do, then make sure you divide the maturing plants every year as the grow and soon you will have a ton of them...Miracle grow fertilizer will also help to make them grow healthy.

A friend of mine who has amazing gardens says that with perrenials, it takes 2 growing seasons to really establish them and the 3rd year they will look terrific!
Reply:Well, daylilies do not really come from bulbs, but they do have a fleshy-type root clump. They are perennial or evergreen. They can be planted at any time of the year, but spring or fall is best. Planting in the heat of summer can sometimes contribute to fungus or rot. This is the ideal time of year for planting. They are extremely hardy and easy to please. They tolerate drought and poor soil fairly well. They will probably bloom this year, although next year's bloom will be much better. If you have potted daylillies, they are going to do much better than bare root, but bare root will catch up and do fine as well. Good luck, and enjoy your lillies...they are a great plant!
Reply:Most of the time they will not, but sometimes they do. They have to be planted anyway, so go ahead and plant them. :o)
Reply:Hi, Yes they will bloom this summer. However they may bloom later in the summer. Mine always do.
Reply:They might -- it depends on the quality and size of the roots. But you should not really expect a good display the first year you plant day lilies -- they do much better after they have been in the ground for a few years.
If I plant daylily bulbs today will they bloom well this summer?
I would put them in the ground right away. They should bloom okay, it is still early. I amended my soil with rotten vegetation from the bottom of my old pond and it did wonders for my daylillies. It also did marvels for my tomatoes.

Daylily with knock out rose?
I'm looking for plants and in particular a daylily that will look nice with red knock out roses. Any suggestions?
Daylily with knock out rose?
There are soooo many choices! If your garden is in tones of yellow, reds and oranges, stay with those tones (I would avoid red as the colors may clash):
Orange-Rajah
Yellow-Butterscotch Ruffles, Happy Returns, Irish Glory, Miss Victoria, Squeaky, Stella D'Oro
If your garden isn't in the hot tones, try some nice white colored ones: Gentle Shepherd, Joan Senior, Lady Elizabeth (huge flowers)
These are just a few suggestions. There are so many Hemerocallis out there. You can pretty much find any color you need. Best of luck in your search.
Reply:Yellow would be pretty. Go to this link for pictures:

Does anyone know how to get rid of the smell of daylily milk on the skin?
My boyfriend was pruning back some daylilies in the garden and he got some of the milk on his hands. He has tried everything, from rubbing his hands on stainless steel to rubbing toothpaste on them. As well as lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, tomato juice, and vanilla. The smell is awful. Please help if you know the answer.

You might want to try vinegar

I was going to say tomato juice, but he tried that. Maybe make a paste of baking soda and rub it in really well. Or rubbing alcohol.
If you have charcoal briquettes (not pretreated with lighter fluid), they are supposed to be good at removing odor. He could try rubbing one on his hands or grinding it into a powder and using it dry or mixing it with some water.
Might be that he'll just have to wait for it to wear off. :( Good luck.
Reply:Goo Gone. Best in the world.

How do I know which side of the daylily root goes down in the ground?
Both sides of it looks like roots and I am uncertain which side to plant facing up. I have tried to compare it with pictures but have had no such luck figuring this out. I am new to this and don't want to ruin them by planting them in the ground incorrectly.
How do I know which side of the daylily root goes down in the ground?
I'm sorry if I sound cavalier, but just plant it. All daylilies want to do is grow. You can't screw them up. I've thrown the rhizomes over a fence into deeep woods and had them grow. I swear they'll plant themselves if you won't do it for them! This is as true of the fancy ones as of the old-fashioned tawnys.
Reply:Normally the bottom of a cluster of daylily rhyzomes will hang down and there should be at least some indication of a crown. How is it you have a daylily root in may with no top growth? It's not all wrinkly and soft is it?

If I put pollen of a daylily on the lip of bearded irsis could it create a new plant?
Is there a way I could do it? Can you buy a dayliliy/iris hybrid?
If I put pollen of a daylily on the lip of bearded irsis could it create a new plant?
Iris is in the family of plants called Irididaceae. Daylilly ( Hermiocallis) is in the family of plants called Lilliaceae. Both are in two seperate families for this reason you can't graft, bud, or mix the tow families, they are not compatible. You can only do this with genus specific plants. The genus for iris is Iris, thier are a multitude of species within this genus ( the second part of the botanical name.) The genus of Daylilly is Hermiocallis, again thier are a multitude of species with in the genus.
Reply:In general, two plants of different species will not be capable of "mating" due to the difference in the number of chromosomes. Daylilies and Irises are not only not the same species, they're not the same genus or family; the closest they are related is that they are the same order (Asparagales); it's unlikely you'd get anything at all.
Reply:I dont think so. not much of a plant person but you can try it!
Reply:I would think it might have been done already if possible, but good luck with your experiments
Reply:Only if the day lily %26amp; iris are fertile
Reply:They will not cross.
Reply:I don't think so because, If I'm not mistaken, in order for cross pollination to occur they have to be members of the same species.
Reply:Good luck man handling pollen. And im pretty sure it has to be pollen of the specific plant

I bought a pack of daylily "bulbs" at half price. Is it too late to plant them?
...well, I actually planted them yesterday, but they looked pretty pathetic. Now, I am a newbie, and have no clue what daylily tubers should look like, but the "tendrils" were brown and seemed like paper.
I planted them anyway, and am wondering if I'll get anything this year or next. Or was it futile?

You didn't say where you live, but I live in the northeast. I planted four about a week ago. two show growth, and nothing on the other two. There was some brown on the outside, but it takes a lot to kill daylilies. I threw some in My compost pile last year, and they're growing on top of the pile. If they don't show up this year, you'll forget all about them, and next June, Surprise!
Reply:You can't get rid of day lilies, so go ahead and enjoy them, they should poke their heads up as soon as we get some warmth
Reply:hi.
If i was you, i would keep them out of the sun at all times, and they just might come on this year, if not they will do well next year.
do hope this was of help to you
Reply:Day lilies can take a lot of punishment and still come back for more. If they are not totally dried out than they should grow and possibly bloom this year or at least the next. Good luck and I hope you enjoy there beauty for many years to come.
Reply:if the soil is broken up fine and watered a little everyday then they should grow shoots in a few days, if they dont it looks like you will have to wait, but tubers and bulbs come back every year so dont worry, just look at it as you got them cheaper than most people

What is the best way to prepare and germinate daylily seeds?
I live in Minnesota and collected a bunch of different daylily seed throughout last summer. I have saved them, and would like to try growing them this year. I am looking for a consistant answer on the best way to stratify them (whether they should sprout, and THEN plant) and what the expected time for germination is. Also, is it required or even advised to use hydrogen peroxide? (Sorry, that is an additional question!)
What is the best way to prepare and germinate daylily seeds?
Just plant them just under soil and they will germinate at different times so don't give up too soon. They will germinate very easily without much intervention other than watering. I have cross-pollinated many of my own and created many seeds that way and it is fun to see the different flowers in a couple of years. It does take a couple 2-3 years to have blooms. Have fun!
Reply:Fold a paper towel in half and put seeds in between fold. Place in container. Wet towel and cover tightly so no moisture will escape. Place container in the darkest, warmest, area in the house. A closet above the basement furnace would be nice. In 5 to 7 days, you should see sprouts if the seeds weren't damaged. Good luck!

How long does it take for a daylily seed to germinate?
I have just planted 13 daylily seeds that I have hybridized and I put them in styrofoam cups. Any other advice?

Reply:It usually only takes a couple weeks for them to sprout, keep them in a warm sunny place and let nature take its course!
Good luck, I hope you get some awesome variations :)
