'Fungal' blight on Aristocrat ornamental pear.
Comments (4)I am really happy to see that a company will do the measured 'smaller' dose. Needs to be done more often and would save a lot of mis-use for the less common treatments but still makes them available on a smaller scale. It does bother me that a city recommends this tree for mass plantings. A nearby town did this once not so long ago, and I don't think there is one of them left standing. They also installed some trees with the potential of becoming massive into some fancy ornamental grates, and extremely near to buildings. Looked super for awhile, but the eventual and inevitable 'un-installation' is a major hidden cost. If you are field growing ornamentals, then it would be worth the cost and effort to send off some samples to a diagnostic lab for pathogen confirmation. It's getting harder and more cost prohibitive than it used to be in our state, due to budget cut-backs, but it may save you some time and $. Like said, however, I did see this a bit in my very young plantings this year, but sat on it before any applications of anything and the issue resolved spontaneously....See Moresiberian iris
Comments (6)Lillium guy yes you can transplant your columbine. I move mine around all the time. In fact the seeds I sowed this year already from my plants right after they were harvested will stay where they are now and then I will transplant some in the spring as I had way more germinate than I expected. They seem to have a higher germination rate if the seeds are sown as soon as they are ready to be harvested. Columbine will also cross very easily with other columbines so if you want to keep the species pure then you will have to plant them in an area where there are no other columbines for them to cross with.

Comments (136)Shirley - IT's never JUST a GAME! lol. J/K...The world series consists of 7 games. Best out of wins the whole kit and caboodle. Cubs did not have a good showing last night...stinky Indians. OH WELL...here's to the next 4! Annie - I just visited California for the 1st time ever last May and I loved it. I wish I'd had so much more time. It was a whirlwind. I had to go to San Francisco on business but managed to see the ocean, the bay, the GG bridge, Alcatraz, The Giant Redwoods, the Bay Bridge, The Fisherman's Wharf, the Sea Lions on Pier 39, China Town, and Coit Tower all while we were there! I had such a lovely time. Cannot wait to visit again! Now only 4 states left for me to see!...See MoreSome blooms in Michigan
Comments (14)Thanks everyone for looking and taking the time to comment! It's great to hear from you all. And I know it's fun to see new blooms. One thing that I will mention about The Royal Greens is that the first several blooms were very splotchy... but it whipped itself into shape :) A lot of my blooms have been splotchier than usual this season - like Glory To His Name was splotchy all the time - today is the first time I noticed non splotchy blooms, and it's about done for the season. Debra, Love In A Vacuum is definitely red, not purple - sorry if the color wasn't captured accurately. I'll include another pic below. I got LIAV from Hanson, last summer, so it wasn't me that outbid you :) Pink Panther Paws has a mauve-ish color on the ends of it on some mornings (depending on rainfall probably), but fades to light pink. Nancy, I believe Lotus Position is one of the parents of Pink Panther Paws. Sea Scape is one I bought to try something different from Davi, and I don't really care for it - ha! Brad, thanks for the info and your thoughts on the bites! My thinking last year after suffering with the bites for a while was that they were/are probably chiggers - I suddenly remembered about doing some volunteer work a few years ago at a state park nearby and they made sure that we were clothed appropriately and were sprayed with Deet. I hate going to the dr, but did last year when one of them got really infected... I think I had to go three or four times. The PA agreed with me that they might be chiggers, but she had never seen such blistering, etc. They were really bad, and I had dozens of them at a time - very itchy and painful and in bad places for blisters to be. I started wearing pants, and tucked them into socks, and sprayed myself down, but it didn't seem to really help. I know one of the sprays I tried last year had Picaridin (sp?). I need to try the sprays again. I probably have about 15-20 bites right now in various stages of blistering, scabs, etc. The other day I resorted to popping one of the blisters with a sterile needle, as it hurt so bad - it was going to keep growing until it burst anyway I think. Deet makes me a little nervous from what I remember back in my camping/backpacking days, but maybe I will get some from Amazon and try that as a last resort. We do have a lot of dragonflies (not sure about damsel or how to tell the difference) here. I'll look into permethrin clothes. Thank you! Anyway, if anyone has read this far, here's a couple of daylily pictures for your trouble :) Another pic of Love In a Vacuum Forgot this one - Westbourne Blackberry Cobbler - bought last year on a whim, added to an order I bought this one last week, had admired it last year when I saw it in person, Lemon Strawberry Twist And here's Davi's Dilemma, not sure if I posted it last year, I think I got it fall of 2018. I love it, even though it's pink :) I made a video of it last year, but never shared the couple of videos I made Thanks for looking AGAIN!...See Moregaryz6ohio
