Dorothy yes those were the Amaryllis that bloomed for me this year and I hope I keep them alive for future blooms. I got great advice on how to do it in this forum. Deb is ok. Finally heard back from her late afternoon yesterday and I was SO relieved! JUST stress and of course and the best reason for not being in touch...family time :-) Eloise I will have to get me more next year. Why is there so much out there one wants for the garden hahahahaha Lucy

Pictures, yeah! Cora, Mint julips sound so much more fun than orange juice or lemonade! My big oak with all the spanish moss does look like it belongs in the real south. Thanks. Ladywingr, your twins are quite the pair there! Very unusual. Would be interesting to see if that same plant puts out any others like that. Those are some vibrantly colored container gardens you have there. You have gotten a great and early start. I need to go shopping! Regina, is that a sesbania? Looks a little different? I don't think I've ever seen that particular plant and had never heard of a hummingbird tree. Looks like a poinciana facing downward. Very pretty. Do hummingbirds come to it? Anna

What happened in your garden this week, June 26th?
Q
Comments (10)
weeded, got bit by skeeters, ignored the scary tall grass, got bit by skeeters, put some more dirt/compost on the taters, got threeee big packages of seeeeeds in the mail, took the squirrel barrier screens off the beets & carrots & parsnips because they're getting big enough to fight back, got bit by skeeters, fluffed the compost & used some of it as mulch, planted some coral bell cuttings mom sent, got bit by skeeters, trimmed some of the delphiniums because the wind finished them off & they just might be convinced to bloom again, installed a delightful copper trellis & planted a climbing peace rose, gathered anemone sylvestris seed, said 'hi' to new nasturtium & hollyhock & spider flowers, marveled again & again at the loveliness of cerinthe 'pride of gibraltar,' picked & ate some peas, got bit by skeeters, compiled a $250 martagon lily/heirloom dahlia order online with old house gardens & erased it before i did anything that rash (this whim will be revisited this weekend), patted myself on the back again about the fabulousness & lushness of this year's window boxes, planted some more greens, checked the weather report about every 2 hours ...

What's in bloom in your garden, week of September 26th?
Q

Things are really winding down here. My asters (new last fall and this spring) did not seem to survive the heat we had this summer. I have about 3 little blooms, and that's on a new aster I got last week from Bluestone, lol! I've got: a few roses a few dahlias caryopteris sedums trycirtis plumbago a hollyhock (yes, just one bloom!) a few cyclamen blooms I really think that's it. :( Some of my annuals are doing a bit better, in particular my portulaca and salvia Victoria. Still have some marigolds, cosmos, ageratum, snapdragons, geraniums and petunias going, but that's about it. I do have a ... hmm, I want to say callicarpa?? Perhaps "Profusion"?? It has tiny purple berries that are just starting to color up. First year, and still in a pot, but I think I'm gonna like this one! :) Dee

Good morning all! Lucy, so glad you got over that food poisoning, and got some good sleep in as well. The cyclamen is beautiful; I saw some this season with very interesting patterns on their leaves, but I didn't buy any.

Lovely photo! I always see those but haven't bought any. Would that do well in the shade under a tree? I am thinking of some low growing stuff to put around some trees in my yard.
I am glad you are feeling better!

Daniella you mean I can plant this one outside when danger of frost is over? Shade? Sun?

That is another thing I learned here and continue to. So many *house*plants can go outside.

Was even able to eat a little dinner tonight. Glad I was able to sleep this out lol
