Planting poppies in Michigan for late June bloom
Comments (10)In my area, there is a local greenhouse that sells(individual) 'Champagne Bubbles' (F1 Hybrid), in 6" wide, short (half?)pots, while in full bloom. But here in VA. that is during late April, early May & this variety may not be as winter hardy in your zone, as an F2 variety, as explained by Stokes seeds catalog (online) Of course, you'd have to wrap the pots, something like florists do, for use on a table. Cut individually, very low near the base, may last up to three days at most. Never did sear them... As for alpine poppies, those may require too deep of a pot, or massive sowing about now, outdoors & may last just a couple days at most, if temperatures are cool. Blooms are quite small & stems very short! I have seen a bouquet of Shirley poppies that my uncle bought for my aunt, in Southern California from a roadside stand, that last about 5 days, for her birthday in June. But, those were cut in 'bunches', much lower down the stalk & not an individual flower stem. They were numerous blooms, of various colors, accomplished by cutting each bunch, much lower down the stalk, to make a more lasting bouquet.. I have no idea with even attempting something anything like this, using the oriental poppy, unless there is a huge patch located at some abandoned house or yard, somewhere up in Michigan. I would suggest consulting a florist, about what becomes available at that time of year, or make plans to order in advance. Besides, I have no idea what is in bloom locally that far north, on that given date, Peonies, or Lilacs, or Lily of the Valley. Possibly, you may just end up keeping it as uncomplicated as possible & simply resorting to buying roses, or carnations ?...See MoreSome Mid June Blooms
Comments (8)Love that purple poppy!! Such a striking color. Good job! It took me years, yes years, to get poppies to germinate. Finally started them in a pot outside covered with saran wrap (and a few holes) in part sun until they germinated, then transplanted out. I think slugs had been eating them or...maybe I couldn't keep them watered. Sometimes my oriental poppy will mold and get slimy with too much rain/humidity....See MoreJune blooms................................. :)
Comments (8)lots and lots of buds, I've been happy with it this year on non windy days, otherwise it goes kaput., we have strong south winds here in OKC, I was thinking of moving this to north of the house, but I sort of like it on calm days like this how it's next to the variegated shrub there. :)...See Morejune blooms pt. 2(apologies to rina)

10 years agoWow, pug! Neat set of pictures. I just love those dolichosparte buds - flat green disks - too cute!
Perfect photo of the publicalyx buds, too. I love the way their color is matched by the leaf behind them, and the way you can tell how they will be shaded and speckled when they open.
I have to admit I haven't seen lucardenasiana in bloom before and enjoyed that photo the best. The color has a strange mottled look to it, almost like they were white but accidentally fell into a glass of kool-aid or something.
I took these photos today:

10 years agoI woke up this morning and I could tell right away this guy had opened up. It's a lovely strong perfume. I'm pretty sure this is one of the ones that looks cuter as buds, as Pug says. But it has a definite charm - like a bit of foamy ivory wedding dress that has gotten snagged on a branch.

10 years agoI have demonstrated two methods for image posting below. I used Method 2 to display the following picture:

I know the first method.
the picture you show was a Hoya that I gave less than two years ago although I imagine you know it very well.
I wanted to talk about another pubicalyx that receives morning sun whose picture show. The umbels of a peduncle have aborted but are coming out again (two weeks). Tomorrow will show the 4 emerging peduncles.
Thanks.

10 years agoHello people:
I have several wax plants but most spectacular are the carnosas and krimson queens.
Here I show a picture, another house of mine, but you can see this majestic plant in the photo album link below "Hoya carnosa, plena floración"
Thanks and Regards.

10 years agoI had to leave town for Father's Day, but I've been watching these lobbii blooms swell and darken for a while now and I hope they don't pop while I'm gone. This is the first time this plant has bloomed for me and I have no idea how big the buds are when they're about "done."
I think this has to be one of the prettiest Hoya buds, though. It just has this lovely sparkly juicy blueberry color. I took a photo of the mature buds and the younger buds so you can see how they get darker and darker the older they are.

While I'm at it, here is also...
Hoya carnosa Krinkle 8
I know, (yawn) after pepeuve's outrageously extravagant displays. ;)
