Comments (2)A picture would greatly help but a shot in the dark would be one of the Joe Pye Weeds...maybe Eupatorium purpureum ? Here is a link that might be useful: Google Images Search-Joe Pye Weed...See MoreKoelreuteria in colder zones?
Comments (10)There are reports of K. paniculata being invasive in one county in the far south of Illinois, very far removed from Chicago. I contacted the Chicago Botanic Garden to ask for their input and they told me they have heard of no reports of invasiveness in my area. Thank you all again for sharing your experiences with this intriguing species. It looks like it may be only borderline hardy in my area, but I am still willing to give my 'Rose Lantern' a try! Hopefully my location in an urban heat island and my proximity to Lake Michigan will help to give it a fighting chance. It will be a such a treat to have a flowering small tree in late summer, especially if the flowers are also attractive to bees and other pollinating insects....See MoreYour 'last rose of Summer.', or Autumn.
Comments (15)We're having our second year of confused weather and I don't know what awaits me in the garden. We finally got 8" inches of urgently needed rain in late October, it's warmish and sunny, and the Teas and some DA roses are making new growth. Flowering after nearly four months of heat and extremely sparse rain is only spotty, it hasn't gotten down to freezing yet, and I doubt we'll have much of a flowering so late in the year, but with this weather, who knows. To answer your question, 'Vanity' tends to be in bloom when nothing else is, also a creamy white Hybrid Tea/Tea of great beauty, dignity, and toughness, which I got as a cutting from my neighbor and the name of which I don't know: it sounds similar to 'Puerto Rico' and also resembles the Italian found rose 'Bianca di Corbara' (introduced by Walter Branchi) and may be identical to it. Oh, yes: 'Maréchal Niel', 'Jaune Desprez', 'Mme. Antoine Mari', 'Mrs. B.R. Cant', 'Duchesse d'Auerstaedt' all get a little water and are all in flower. I'm so glad many of us have gotten rain!

Comments (13)it's funny actually, I think you may be right about the spirea. I saw a pink flowering almond at Huntington gardens this weekend and it looked a LOT like my "spirea". All I know about my "spirea" though is that one of my mom's neighbors in Charleston, South Carolina, gave her a branch of it, and she rooted it and it became a nice big bush. And then she rooted a branch for me and we just shoved it in my horrid alkaline clay ground here and it turned into the small bush you see now within a year or two. I'm really pleased with it. It seems to root really easily? (though I've never personally tried rooting anything, but my mom didn't use any special technique or anything...) that's actually the first bloom ever on Janet Inada. I planted it last fall in a pot from a tiny little band. It's grown a fair amount. I'm in love with it myself, I wish you could smell it! :)...See MorePatty W. zone 5a Illinois
