Comments (2)I'm also tempted to try Merveille. It tends towards fuchsia, is somewhat hard to find, and is the parent plant to what's known as Color Fantasy here in the US. My local Lowe's are carrying very tall 3.5' in 3.5 gallons for $25. Not sure where they get their stuff, but these plants are big and cheap!...See MoreAll Summer Beauty hydrangea
Comments (1)Hi Stephen, your description sounds very much like the hydrangea I purchased, (Endless Summer, Hydrangea macrophylia Bailmer). The Endless Summer blooms on both old and new growth and can be encouraged to bloom even more by cutting the blooms. It's hardiness is from zones 4 - 9 and planted in partial shade. However the leaves are not a glossy green, they are more like the regular hydrangeas leaves. I can honestly say that it has bloomed for me since I planted it in the spring. Being that the soil where it is planted is more alkaline I am getting beautifull pink blooms. Next year I am planning on making the soil more acid by adding peat because I would like to have the big, bold, beautifull blue blooms. I'm not too sure if this helps.............Wayne...See MoreSummer 2020 : beauty all around us
Comments (544)Oh, my goodness! I promise I wasn't liquored up when I wrote that first paragraph above. What a mess. Diane, I obeyed all the rules for the first few weeks. I probably haven't taken it as seriously as I should. I do take the supplements said to strengthen the immune system (D3, C and zinc) and I don't get in anybody's face. Going to the nursery keeps me sane. I hope you can get out and about soon and see your friends. Mr. Flowers said you were right. No more ladders. But, not because of potential accidents. He has bursitis in his hips and says climbing ladders is the worst. I added that you said digging holes was still ok. Not sure if he appreciated that. Deborah, I have the same thoughts about Moonlight in Paris. Another truly beautiful new rose this year, at least new to me. I'm sure HalloBlondie had it last year in Ontario. Mine had the peachy pink tones a couple months ago, and is more of a creamy yellow now. Very pretty either way. Lowes came through this year and made up for lost time. I might have been the one who asked about Distant Drums. Everyone loves it, even when they didn't think they would. Straw said there is an entire bed of DD at a public garden that she says takes your breath away. So far, it just doesn't call to me, but might be one of those that's better in person. Your Cupcake Cosmos are so sweet. I just told my daughter those are the ones she should grow because they obviously do great in SoCal. Hope you make your deadlines and all the school stuff goes well. I hope you can get back in the classroom soon. I wish we could see your video...... My granddaughter teaches middle school special needs. i honestly don't know how she does that online. Thank you for thinking about Mr. Flowers. He thanks you for the prayers and asked for you to keep it up because he says he feels great....See Morejim1961 / Central Pennsylvania / Zone 6
