Raining Tuesday

15 years ago

No joy in dustville Heavy thunderstorms move thru last night and this morning. Rain everywhere but here. Managed to squeeze out a few drops from the last chance thunderstorm this AM (14 drops by last count). Sending the rain to Pa, Ky and Tn. Use it well.

Having said that it is very pleasant outside. With the cold front moving thru you can once again breath outside.

I think I like your seedling best, so nice to see some blooms. Mine are winding down & not many at all today. I sure hope some of that rain makes it my way. We had a good rain last week, but been REALLY hot the last few days & getting dry again.

Dang Tom...I sure was hoping you'd get some of that rain! At least it's cooled off some for you. :)
Love the reds you've posted today, especially that seedling of yours. Is it by chance related to the unregistered "Georgia" one you posted?
Thanks for the blooms...they're gorgeous!

Mori - potting them is possible, but means I'd have to go and purchase pots etc. I don't have anything readily available - I just started re-gardening in a new home after a long period of not gardening. I had to move to an apartment for several years and of course, had to get rid of all garden accessories (well actually my ex, got to keep all that stuff since I had nowhere to keep it all *makes sad face*). Krista - I'm leaning towards your idea of keeping them in the plastic they arrive in/box, etc. and putting them in my basement most likely, which will be the coolest place I think. It is supposed to warm up a bit next week with the rain, and I suspect my unheated basement might be a better area for them, than even my detached garage where it may get too warm.

Hello everyone. I'm new to Brugs, I live in Southern Calif. where there is no rain all summer. I have had a potted Candida on my Patio since April. Have no yard. The plant looks great, about 5 feet tall, the leaves are huge and green, no pests whatsoever, and it gets mottled afternoon sun, plenty of water and fertilizer - I was well informed by reading your messages. However, there is no Y branching, therefore no flowers. So.... the problem must be ME, not the plant. What do you think?

April Showers arrived in San Antonio around 1am this morning. It rained for several hours. Now it has started to rain again. Thank goodness we had put compose on our yard last week. I hope it will be clear this weekend, so we have a beautiful day for the plant swap. Barbra

Well, that cold weather is here. DH took the boys out Christmas shopping while I finish up printing the Christmas letters inside where it is warm. Gotta go put the cards and letters together to get them ready to mail this week. Last year I had them all ready to go right after Thanksgiving. I'm a little late this year. At least I'm warm. Oh, I don't have a greenhouse and really don't need one since I already brought in what needs to be inside this time of year and the rest can either freeze or survive the cold. At least we're getting some rain. I know it is cold rain, but at least it is rain. It has been a little dry lately.

To use one of my DH's favorite sayings, your Dark Red Georgia sure "stands up to be counted!" Awesome!

About your seedling ~ I actually like the form, I think it's star-shaped? Another one that stands up to be counted.

Great pic, as always,

Great pictures of great daylilies as usual. Really unusual about Double Conch Shell and the very different looks it has!

Tom, the pictures (and flowers) are wonderful as usual, but I particular loved the "Dark Red Georgia" and the red seedling!

Tom, as you told me, you can't post a pic to often. We are cheated if you don't let us see the different views.. I also love the reds but like your seedling best.. Thanks my friend, for the rain in Al..hehehe!! My driveway is washed away again!! it came down in buckets for awhile then tapered to a slow rain for a while. At any rate, we got the rain we needed and it's cooled a bit...Ellie
