`Broms in the Park' - Plants- part 3 of 3
Q
Comments (12)
John and Agatha, Now that I have managed to scrape my jaw off the ground, and sit comfortably at the puter, I can thank you for sharing all 3 glorious postings of your recent trip to paradise. Is Andrew Maloy partnered? Heterosexual? .......hmmm.... oh that's right, I have a partner.....sorry my dear. Autumn Blaze, with Pacific Blush, is now equal first on my lust list. All of Maloy's hybrids are magnificent. Your haul looks pretty spectacular as well - mind me asking how much all up? And why only eight plants? I suppose you already have so many broms in your collection, but with that type of temptation, readily accessible or not, I could not help myself from buying as many as possible! But then the family must eat. Do you know if Andrew Maloy or Peter Coyle is going to register the Pacific series? When I looked into the cultivar database on the BSI website for Maloy's hybrids, I saw that the Kiwi series was hybridised by N. Scotting, and named* by A. Maloy. Then for the Tasman series, the hybridiser is listed as A. Maloy "et al" (Scotting?), and naming by P. Coyle.* Does Maloy do the actual crossing, and grow the seedlings, or does he pass on the seed to Peter Coyle for him to grow the seedlings, and also name them? I'm a bit confused, as I thought if a brom was included in the cultivar registry database, with acknowledgement of hybridiser, and parentage included if known (of course, preferable), then that was evidence of registration. Yet the Kiwi series, under the 'registered' category, says NO, but they DO have registration numbers - can someone fill me in? I owe Uncle Derek an email, so I should ask him. Nitty-gritty aside, thanks again John and Agatha for the magnificent postings. Cheers, Kerry

Socks: yes, that's what we meant. You could eat the buds completly and the only part I would avoid on the open bloom is anthers. Just not the fan of being smeared with colorful pollen all over me. Otherwise... choose your flavor and eat.

gsciencechick, my DD got an email from her school yesterday saying that if students choose, they can take whatever grade they currently have in a course or they can complete the work assigned and have the grades on that work incorporated into their final grade. She had come home prepared to write 3 final papers and probably will, but it was a great relief to her to know she had the option. ETA: I had this wrong. They are giving them the option of taking a pass (GPA neutral) if they choose. Some instructors seem to be giving students different options. My DH is not impressed that they don't seem to have a well-coordinated plan. Like feathers, we are pretty impressed with how her post secondary is responding at a time when many of the students are just focussed on packing up their lives on short notice and getting home to their families. My DH is an administrator at a post-secondary here so I know how much effort everyone is putting in to make this work. Thanks for all you are doing.

Rita,
Your garden is gorgeous as always. It is just the daylilies taking the lead instead of roses or lilies this time.

I love the shot of Marilyn Lee Bock the best, but Promise to Behave is a very close second. Beautiful as always and I'm so glad you posted garden pictures, Rita.

All of your hard work was really worth it. Seventy Times Seven is so pretty against the wall...Cement blocks just wouldn't do it the same. Everything is really eye catching and lovely. You did a superb job of re-doing the hard scape and moving everything around.

You have no idea how pleased I am with the stone wall in the backround of my pictures instead of the cynder blocks. The stone just looks so nice. I just hated the backround when I used to taked pictures before. It is something I never thought would show up so much when I had the wall done in cynder blocks originally. And the stone facing looks so real, just like it was a stone wall.

My trumpet lilies and trumpet hybreds are blooming all over the yard and they just smell so nice. Will have to get some pictures.

My favorite of this group is Seventy Times Seven! Nothing's better than a big ruffly peach. I would love to add that one, but Karol no longer has it in stock. I guess I'll have to search around for it. My second favorite is Marilyn Lee Bock.

The views of your dayliles are gorgeous. It's great to see everything blooming so well.

Another question, RITA, is that catmint a perential, well not spelled right, but does it have to be planted every year?I have our local nursery here had told me last summer,she would try to get some in for me, but, so far,I haven't been back out there.Its been too hot to go very far outside.It sure is pretty, where you have it at.
