What happen to the Alphabet Game?

11 years ago

I guess it is because the growing season is now in full swing. I really enjoyed seeing everyones plants though. It also introduced me to plants I had not seen before, and helped me ID some of mine. I am not even sure what letter we are on now.

Can we please try to start this back up again?

Thanks for the reminder, Glenn! I thought of it several times, but didn't find a few minutes to post. Next one coming up! Have to get a few pix prepared first.

Many thanks to all who posted the incredibly beautiful photos of their roses. They are really a treat for these dreary winter days. I have enjoyed them so much! The only thing is I can't help adding more than a few to my want list after admiring the photos! Camp is right when she said in the Self discipline thread that a nice photo will send all resolutions out the window.

Daylily photo lessons from the Alphabet Game

Those are good points, tepelus. In addition, as I mentioned in an earlier post, purchase an inexpensive piece of foam core board and put behind your daylily if there objects behind the flower that are distracting. I have black, but am going to try a medium blue (I read in a book written by a flower photographer that this was the best color to use behind flowers) this year and see what results I get. You can't stress paying attention to lighting too much and also, look at the angle you are taking the picture at and see if there might be a better direction to take the picture that might show the flower at better advantage. You may need to get down on your knees and take it looking up or vice versa, or try from the side as well as from above and straight on. I can't wait for my daylilies to start blooming this year. These pictures have issued me a challenge to up my game in taking pictures of my daylilies. Thanks for the challenge and the enjoyable browsing. Now all I need is to find out where to find some these beauties that all of you have so graciously shared. Ms. Faith

Blimey crikey .... I did not tell you peeps to live in snow. Sorry you do. Still room in Florida and hostas do grow here too. Gee Ken would you post a photo? Cannot do it now. Still growing season left and rules are rules. Bernd ~ day after Xmas even better. Get a hosta you want now. Not going to get it then. Actually not a bad idea. Time to shop. lol

Bkay...thanks, I looked it up and BINGO! It was there at the top....now that is one game that is challenging! I'm only fairly good at guessing at hosta I have myself, because it is easy to identify what you already have, isn't it? Since I have under 100, my guessing would be very limited. :-( I have visions of your little doggie going crazy with a hosta pot...it may be funny to me, but how disheartening for you! She will grow out of it I hope. Like I said before, since you rescued your latest dog and adopted it, perhaps Cleo will be too busy with her new companion in the spring to bother with your hosta! Fingers crossed... I was visiting relatives in Florida years ago, during our March Break when kids are out of school, and recall how frozen my aunt's garden looked at that time of year. She said it was a bad spring...that was back in 1989. It was actually beautiful in a way...nothing was disfigured, everything just had a coating of clear ice and the forms of the plants were perfect. But I would hate to have hosta suffer, or have them die on me. I have a beautiful Dark Star in its 3rd year coming 2014...let me find a pic to show you...not to add insult to injury but simply to share with you. The way it grows for me reminds me always of your famous So Sweet. I hope this year will be much better for you - weather and Cleo! :-). One can hope. Jane...opened your list thread...:-) now searching online for some interesting named ones you have listed..oh boy, fun! Will comment when I am done on that thread. Jo

What a neat idea! I guess I missed it the first time around. How about starting a new one from A and in a new thread?

JoJo, we never finished! Letter N is next! I got crazy busy. Maybe I can get it going later today. :P

You can search for the other posts by putting words Alphabet and letter in the search engine.

I can understand 'crazy busy'! ;-)
Well..
If it continues with "N" than lets see some pics. ;-) Wont hold you to the later today, but soon hopefully.

I'm not sure I have any to contribute, will have to look and see, the recent several days of hard freeze about wiped out my collection. Sigh... shopping trips in near future. ;-)

Already up, JoJo! Beat your post by a few minutes. :P Thanks for not holding me to it, but I figured I'd better do it NOW (I'm a reforming procrastinator. If not now, it might not ever be!) So, go peruse...post if you have any 'N' plants...or wait for the 'O' post! =)

SO sorry to hear of your wiped out collection! For the first time EVER, I had to cover all my sux for a WEEK for temps in San Diego below frost & close to freezing (for my area, near the beach). I enlisted the help of 22 sheets, blankets, shower curtain, car cover, pillow cases, beach towels, tablecloths, etc. Only lost one Aloe (forgot to cover 1st night). You can post old pix, if you have any.

Exiting! Shopping trips...sorry you lost so much.
You had really bad/unusual freezing weather there - colder than here in Canada (but at least we are used to it).
Last few days it's really cold, in Toronto (Ont.) area we have nightime temps below -20C (-4F & below) with windchill still way lower than that. But, it is going to warm up to approx. +4/5C (in 40F range)by Wednesday. Too much up-and-down...and not enough snow.
Different story further north or Quebec & other provinces.
