So we don't get to see yours?
What's wrong with your camera trigger finger?
No Golden Gate here, but if you are impressed by a golden hosta, it has to be outstanding.

Where IS my pen when I need it......

All I have that is golden from Olga is Key West. It looked good early on and it still looks good. Here it is in bloom in June this year

Come on, peeps, give us the scoop on Golden Gate.

I remember that post, I remembered thinking Dancing Queen when I saw it, but that's not an Olga hosta. Golden Gate doesn't seem to have that prominent of a waterfall effect, from what I've seen. Love to see pics of it from members, though.

Gary, I remember answering your question before - and here are a few links/threads of pictures of what I grow, and a list of plants that rebloom for me without any trouble (Tampa, Fl) Unlike orchidguyftl, I grow mine in part shade/strong diffused light...I find full sun brutal here in Florida :) http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/orchidsgal/msg0113584612964.html http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/orchidsgal/msg0209384928743.html http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/orchids/msg0416074821737.html Here, I have copied from one of the links above: Here is a list of cymbidiums that grew well and flowered for me (what I can remember off the top of my head): Cymbidium Nut Cymbidium Golden Elf (kawamoto orchids has both, and they are coming to redlands) Cymbidium Sunshine Falls 'Butterball' -Lowes find Cym. Sarah Jean "Ice Cascade" CCM/AOS -web Cym. Evening Star 'Pinkie' -Redlands Cym. Little Black Sambo 'Black Magic' -Lowes, bagged seedling..but has not flowered yet, too young.

What color climbing rose would you put on a arbor over the gate??

I was looking at black iron arbors as we will be replacing the wooden fence soon in a year or two with the new vynal white post and rail. We have a dog so we were looking at picket and post and rail with the green wire. The wooden fence is old and falling apart and even though I like the wood look as it is more natural I feel we have white vynal in the front of the house so trying to keep everything even as far as fence color goes. I won't be replacing the fence for another year or two so I feel the black arbor will go with the old and new fence plus match in with the white and black shed. White sounds interesting with the clematis but if we switch to a white post and rail fence then maybe pink is the better option. I was looking at golden showers as a climber but that is yellow so I will have to take a look at some of the pink one's mentioned above.. Thanks for the input!! The shed is my husband's gift and he told me to have fun decorating around it so I am!!!!

Hi, aliska, I'll try to get some pics when the crop of current buds open. I'm trying to figure out how to share a thought in a friendly "let's chat about roses and our experiences" way that doesn't sound pompous or preachy....when you say you hope you're not unlucky enough to get ones that are too orange....well, sometimes this rose *will* look sort of "orange" or at least the color of orange juice. Sometimes it will look the purest soft apricot sometimes a golden apricot, sometimes it will have apricot, orange juice, and soft peach all mixed and then a day or two later will be a different color. That is one of the beauties of many roses, and especially of the Austin roses. I'm just mentioning this because I happened to notice in some of your posts that you have some concerns that roses won't look like the pictures, or that they will look like one certain picture that is a shade you don't care for. Sincerely, I don't mean this in a "talking down to you" way, but you do need to be prepared for the form, shade and sometimes even the color of roses to be different (sometimes wildly different) at different stages of maturity, at different times of the year, and sometimes even from one week to the other if the weather changes dramatically. You should see my Gruss an Aachens right now, they don't look like any pics of them I've ever seen and I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with them if the only pics I'd ever seen looked like my whole bush full of blooms does right now; but part of the fun is knowing that next week or next month, or especially this fall...it'll be like having a whole different rose!

New antique gate garden centerpiece: looking for ideas for plants
Q
Comments (21)
Thanks for the further suggestions. There is a lot more sun on the right end. Lilies do well. I think delphiniums would be fine there. On the shady left, I just had to cut down an overhanging branch due to the trunk cracking in a heavy snow, that may make the left end more sunny than it has been before. Hopefully my gold hostas will not get fried. I’m thinking about a monkshood in the shadier end too. I think the path idea, though it appeals to me, will be dependent on whether I can get at least 2 of the bushes behind it dug out. Though I love the way it looks, I can’t keep frosted Brunnera alive. I was slowly getting some to expand in the backyard, but the lack of snow cover seems to have done them in too. They would be up by now if they were alive. A plain green one in another bed is up. One silvery plant that came to mind is pulmonaria. That does well in one bed around a tree (same location where the silver Brunnera croaked). I have one I got in trade (so don’t know that name) that is almost all silver, with just a fine green edge, rather than spotted. Since I have not done much planting around the gate location recently, I don’t know how the drainage compares to the adjacent hosta bed at the left, which is at the base of a very slight slope. Since I have a lot of gold and purple, the easy route would be to just use Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola’, since I already know I can grow that. Though where I have it now gets a lot of sun, conditions for both areas would be comparable. At least for now, I can’t extend the stepping stones. It will be a while before I can kneel well. It was a marathon of kneeling to prepare the base, paver base, etc., and lay the stones 2 years ago. The gate color I’m keeping. I matched the original paint, which a friend told me was a very traditional shade for garden fence in France where this came from. I have an outdoor metal/wood bench on the patio which I will paint to match. It also goes well with my house trim.

GG has different breeding than Niagara Falls. NF is a montana Mac seedling. GG is from a Nigrescens seedling. It's actually bigger than Niagara Falls and it probably comes with the 7 foot scapes.

Was it this Niagra Falls in question? The photo was taken yesterday. Its been in good soil for about 10days now. Still a healthy green apple color. While looking for what it could be, came across Great Lakes Gold and thought it looked like a posible match.

Here's a bed with Key West, Golden Gate and Journey's End. The Golden Gate was from Wade and Gatton this spring. The order was shoved into a box too small and the leaves of Golden Gate and Jade Cascade were bent and broken. They did however send me an absolutely pristine First Frost as a bonus.

Zkathy- Love your those stacked stone beds and beautiful hostas.

Ken is it possible that it is just a gold version of niagra falls? Was trying to read about seeds and in one of the publications had mentioned that 1/100 seeds of solid parents can produce a gold offspring. The edging is very pronounced, like niagra falls and unlike some of the younger possible matches. Looking at the hostalibrary it states it was mistakenly listed as sterile. But do hosta breeders grow from seed when selling to nurserys still?
