Photos: Check out the brights today & get a big hug

16 years ago

Cluster Muster is really a 'grab you' color, and I like its double form. This is its second year and it is doing great.

Justin George is a cute itty bitty 2" 34"H. It has many blooms.

Wyoming Wildfire is not all it can be, but it is getting there.

And what did I tell you about getting a hug? Octopus Hugs can hold a little extra with that extra petal, and sepal. When I was first looking at OH through the lense I thought it was not lining up right, then I saw what was going on.

The DLs are really blooming here, but we still have not had any rain to amount to anything. I will really need to water the beds now. There is no rain in the immediate forecast.

I hope these DLs brightened your evening a little bit. Jane

Love Cluster and Wyoming. I have Moses Fire, but your Cluster Muster has more orange. Makes it a standout.

Orange you glad you posted it. I am.

Yes, Blue Yew, it is. Ken - the even was the American Conifer Society Northeast Region Field Day in Bucks County PA. Click the link for more info. It was a truly spectacular day and a mind-boggling introduction to the conifer world for me. The people were welcoming, friendly and happy to share information. If you are interested in seeing breath-taking gardens like this one and meeting truly inspiring people, I would absolutely suggest joining the ACS and becoming active in your local region. The next outing for this group is going to be in the Danbury CT area and a few of the gardens on the tour have been shown on the Martha Stewart Show and highlighted in Fine Gardening magazine. I cannot wait! Anyway, thanks for looking I tried to get lots of different views, but the photos pale by comparison to standing there and seeing the real thing. Alexa

I love visiting Leavenworth, WA. I have only been there in early June and mid September and it was really nice. I don't do snow so I appreciate your winter picture. We played golf on the Leavenworth golf course and saw the salmon spawning. It was an amazing site and a fun golf course. On our way there we stopped at the little town where they make Aplets and Cotlets. We took the tour and loved the unlimited samples.

Help with checking account, I messed up big time

I record my checks in the register AND do online banking. Except I carry a check in my wallet and don't always remember to record it. Everything that can be paid online is paid online, some automatically because we have a history of forgetting to pay bills on time. I'd suggest going to the bank and making them earn their fees by helping you figure it out. They won't mind. Set up online banking just so you can double check what you do in your checkbook. You don't need to pay bills online or do ANYthing with it. Just use it to verify any questions between statements. You might never have to go online. But no reason not to have access to the tool if a situation comes up. Ignore it the rest of the time.

I must say, that for some unknown reason, I tended to dislike any dark oranges in general for many years in any type of flower, and only liked a tangerine perhaps or lighter shades of orange, but nowdays I feel very different about the dakrer shades and just love them and want to add more. Those are good candidates I'd say, and very lovely! So far I love my Santiago Heat, and Mauna Loa, though obviously I have many more to choose from! In a much older variety with a bright eye, perhaps Hot Town?

Loving all those brights Jane. I added CM this season but didn't get any blooms, hopefully next season it will be as pretty as yours. I understand about the water. Rain showers have been few and far between down here also. We have had a little more this week than usual though, it just didn't come in time to help the bloom season for me. I'm now getting rebloom on some however, so maybe they'll at least benefit from the showers.
Thanks for sharing.

I love CLUSTER MUSTER, which is on its first year bloom in my garden but mine is not near as dark or opened as wide as yours. Never the less it is my second double and it has opened every flower double which beats the heck out of the double I got rid of this year. Do you feed your plants anything special?
