Comments (2)I would be interested in the sedum listing...and I prefer to discuss trades through email...thanks. FYI...chocolate cosmos is a perennial that does not come true from seed and is only true to coloration through division....See MoreDoes anyone have an id for this purple flower?
Comments (1)It's an Iochroma and I have a bit of trouble telling them apart as photos aren't always true to colour but it might be I .grandiflora...See MoreDoes anyone have Upward-facing flowers?
Comments (17)Sometimes it just pays to stay up late and read the forum! Who cares if you're tired the next day? The hosta will forgive you if you get outdoors later in the morning, right? Mocc, you always say the kindest things.... glad you enjoyed the pics...then you had me laughing out loud about the comment re the bees standing on their heads trying to get at the uplifted flowers! LOL. That is just so funny trying to visualize that!...before that the turkeys...ahhh, so good to hear from you, thank you!!! YES, the hiding flowerscape on The Shining! It never got taller? Bummer...kind of hard to admire it when it's that shy! Lol. There are a couple more "shorties" around here too, like one last year...all weather related, methinks. Weird. S&S has one last scape on it (I removed the spent ones already) that is so short, it looks like I just put it there instead of it growing out of the plant. Odd but I will post a pic to show you all. It may be a short scape but the flowers are nothing to sneeze at. They are beautifully large. Thanks for the recall re Holy Mouse Ears - of course, it makes sense, doesn't it? Poor Baby Bunting is another forced one and is barely hanging on but I am determined that it makes it...although it's a day to day survival for the poor little thing...it's no bigger than a dime!...well, maybe a nickel.. Same goes for the gold sport of Frances Williams, 'Golden Sunburst'.... It put out those late shoots last fall, remember? This year the leaves are half their size..hard to believe it is the same plant. Used up too much energy last fall and petered itself out, didn't it? I hope it fares better next spring. It has been a very interesting growing season so far, and I'm sure there's more surprises/oddities before we are done for the season :-) Here's shorty-puff on S&S, lol...See MoreAnyone grow balloon flower from seed?
Comments (15)Grief, it was so long ago since I sowed mine (they are incredibly long lived...at least 15 years). I think it most likely that I did an autumn sowing and probably did get a couple of blooms the following summer. I do recall them being fairly easy - this was quite early on in my seed sowing craze when I was even more slapdash than I am now so survivors are memorable. I have never found any volunteers...but they grow in an area where I often trample about so......See Moreschoolhouse_gw
