Hello there.. I started some from seeds last year that was offered by sushi.  It had one bloom last year.  I believe I see it coming back this year and it looks like there might be more than one plant.  If you dont find seeds and want to wait for it to get a bit warmer here I would send ya a plant if it has more than one as it appears.

Tink, I'd love a plant if you have an extra, I killed all the seedlings Karen Jenn sent me. :(  I've wanted N. pygmaea for years.

Could you use a Georgia Peach? I have two extra, they are just now waking up. I also have a red/rust daylily called Ruby Stella that is very similar to Stella D'Oro though a big bigger, long blooming like that though and more of the Mexican feather grass, can't remember if yours lived or not? I think they were too small.

hey leanne I would love to try some of the red lillies.. your others you sent me have multiplied and are stunning.  My mexican feather grass is huge but I live in fear each year it wont come back since its not suppose to be hardy in my zone and have read many in my zone say it will come back till it goes to seed then it will die but hopefully there will be other babies.  I just love it!

I dont really need any more hardy lillies but soon as this one is big enuff to tell whats in there I would send ya one.  I dont know how big they will get this year or how big there suppose to get but there is definately multiple plants coming up in the pot woohooo ;0

Tinkster, I'm so glad you have had success with the seeds.  I have seeds again although I did not collect them the same way as last time.  I wanted to ask Joyce about this.  The seeds before were brownish green (mostly brown)  The seeds I just collected are greenish brown (mostly green) I don't know if they are viable.   I can send out 3 sets if anyone wants to try them.

Our spring has been typically cool and wet so the daylilies are barely poking up out of the soil, should be ready to ship in a couple of weeks. I dug them and divided them and potted them up into gallons last fall. They don't match my color scheme. The color is more orange than this picture, they clash with my magenta Knockout roses.

Sushi,
    I would be willing to try those seeds.

Tinkster,
    Would love a plant just in case seeds are not viable.

   I will PM you both with mailing address and ask about postage etc.

Pete

I decided since pgymae was so small I would pot them up before I Sent to help and here they are.. they were not as small as I thought, there root systems would not fit in a cup.  I am gonna leave them in these andhopefully that will help them make the journeys better since they are small.
