See which ones you think are South Seas kids that bloomed today.

I hope you didn’t say the Bluebells clematis that is reblooming 😉

South Seas is the 5th picture. The 6th and 7th are her kids, thanks to our pollinators, and my harvesting, storing, doing stratification, planting for germination, and then replanting into their various maturing places. I am starting to love self seed, and honestly, self seed will happen a lot up north because we have a lot a lot a lot of pollinators. A lot lol.

The first pic is peach daylily, with a pollinator friend who I hope didn’t already make a cross because I am hoping to successfully type and then cross Peachy this year.

The second is Just Plum Happy, and those are my husband’s favorites. We have several. That one is the middle child.
Just Plum Happy doesn’t like to play with others much. We have learned to let her relax and just be her wonderful authentic self. She has produced self seed offspring, but not with my help. Direct sow does work. Maybe it was me tossing it, maybe it was squirrels or bunnies or the wind or just gravity. Just Plum Happy will definitely have real estate up north. Probably not by seedling, but by division.

The third pic is red daylily. Red daylily and Pink Tirza like to make a lot of seed. Red daylily sometimes does this adorable thing where she curls her petals at the very end. Sometimes more as the day goes on. We shall see what she does today. I hope the kids get those curly petals. Hopefully not 4 years from now, but we shall see.

And then the fourth pic is Bluebells clematis reblooming.

Happy gardening! I hope you have a beautiful day!
