quote:Don't fret, Daylily.
I went out and cut some of my Daylily stalks down which didn't have buds anymore. Well on one of them I saw what appeared to be little mini seed pods, so I just cut the whole stalk since I didn't see any buds.

I'm sure you only cut off the seed pods and they were probably small because they were just forming. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the seed pods, but to me they look like tiny, little green peppers do when they're just starting grow. quote:You said you saw a bud and it was obvious to you it was a bud, so you do know what the buds look like and evidently these didn't look like buds, so I'm sure they were the seed pods.
I only saw one more bud on that Daylily plant, but it was very obvious to me that it was a bud.
Most of my daylilies have been setting seed pods for several weeks now.* * * *

Whew! Thank you SO much! I feel so much better now. Now I'm a lot more sure that they were seed pods!
Gailo~ I appreciate the time you took to post those pictures for me so much!

Those are some awesome photos Gailo! ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)
Thanks for sharing them. Have you ever grown the daylilies from their seeds? ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
I read somewhere that they will be different from the parent plant, do you know if this true?

I read that too. I have just put my first batch of seed in the fridge. I can take them out 8/20 then plant them. I also pollinated my first one the other day. Don't know if it 'took' yet.

Geesh, I don't have any ssed pods left because I cut them all off, ![[Frown]](im/frown.gif)
but this sure is something to think about for next year. ![[thinker]](im/graemlins/idea.gif)
If you plant them from seed, will they bloom the first year?

Patti, they won't bloom first year from seed but they will begin the second year. It's really easier to just take divisions if you are a lazy gardener like me. lol!
Here's all the information you could possibly ever want to read about starting Daylilies from seed... Daylily Propagation and I'm sure our very own Garden Helper has some tips too. I just couldn't find it.

Thanks Rosie! ![[muggs]](im/graemlins/mugggggs.gif)
Actually, I really prefer to propagate by division, cuttings, and some of the other methods, but I thought this sounded interesting. Always game to try something new. ![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)

Hi There, hope someone could help. I plant seeds for loofa vine and they did great. They have grown bigger then my cousins and had four loofa, but the squirrels ate three, the one left is 10-11" long and about 2" round. I need to know when to pick it. Things i read say when vine starts to wilt after three months of planting or before frost, well neither is happening. And it's been six months now.

fritter, your question would be answered more quickly if you post it in the Fruits and Vegetables Gardening forum.
Like most gourds, Loofah can be left on the vine until first frost to allow the gourd to completely ripen and the skin to dry out. When they are still young and small, they are good to eat.
Welcome to the forum!

I've only seen pictures of big seed pods, so I don't know what they look like when they're small. Does anyone have a picture of a small one? Or maybe a picture of a small daylily bud? Any info at all that could help me with this would be appreciated.
