Hi Barb I'd like to trade for several things on your seed list - Sunrise Serenade Morning glory Calendula Solar Flashback Checkered lily Fritillaria Meleagris Catchfly Angel Blue I have several hardy geraniums, oriental poppies, and a few others from your list. Also have some gaillardias and agastaches in bloom now (cana, apricot sprite, apache sunset). I might even have a few bloodroot from spring, etc. LMK if you'd like to trade. (Sorry, but my trade page is totally out of date, so will have to see what is available) Here is a link that might be useful: my trade page

Vera, keep us up to date on that puny little MG vine. Maybe it's a mutant. My Sunrise Serenade completely covered the vine pole, and then some; it cascaded down in every direction after it reached the top. It was truly exciting to see and enjoy. The seeds I sent you were from those flowers. I wish I had not deleted all of the pictures I took of it, but I consolidated my files when I did a back-up floppy to install on the new computer. Last year, I grew some Heavenly Blue and some Star of Yelta, and this year I had a couple of volunteers from those plants, so I'm letting them grow up the vine pole. I won't know what I have growing until the blossoms start. Mary

I love Morning Glories too, and they will almost grow themselves, but what are you growing them up? If it is a trellis, or some sort of wire that has fairly large openings it is good...but if you're planning to put them on chainlink fencing, or chicken wire....beware!!! MG tendrils grow up and around any and every conceivable wire...which is a delight to the eyes....but miserable to remove come fall. I've even left it up over winter thinking the stems would soften by spring: they don't. It takes alot of finger strength and time to untwist each and every little tendril off the fence. With larger fencing you can sort of yank it down, clip, yank, clip, yank.

Hi Dar!! I just went outside to check again for you!! Remember, my sniffer isn't the best at describing fragrances!!! But I mould say it is more peach/ floral. Not citrus at all to me.. It's beautiful and I'm Really impressed this year ith this one. It's been a prolific bloomer every year for me. I did make a cutting for Barbara in Texas and she is thrilled!! That makes me feel awesome that she wanted one of mine!! She is a sweetheart!!! Hi Dave!! We finally had a nice break from the oven!! A cold front came through last night with more rain and a little wind. I did have five trees down, but no damage. One was my Moragne 23 with inflos.. I was holding my breath. You can imagine hubby and I fixing the rest of the bleachers with eye hooks to secure!! He's a happy camper!! Bbbwwwhhhhhaaa!! ;-) It so funny you mentioned Waimea!! I remembered our conversation about this one.. Well, I finally have an inflo on mine after how many years? Lol. This is a healthy inflo and I'm sure it will hopefully continue. I haven't even had false inflos... So I'm thrilled to see this one!! Please post pictures of yours!!! As far as my Desert Sunrise.. It's not compact, but not tall and lanky either. It's branched at every inflo and has a main stem of about two feet before it started to branch into the. First y... I'll take this one even its its not semi compact or dwarf. It's that beautiful... I would say mine is about six feet tall. Take care!! Laura

What a beauty Laura! You seem to have the perfect climate to bring out all the orange and red tones. We are too close to the coast for most of the reds and oranges (unless we have Santa Ana conditions...).
When will you get here? I'm busy packing since we are leaving tomorrow for 4 weeks in Germany + 3 days in Luxembourg. Wish I had known you would be coming out when I booked the flights last October. Would love to see you again some day! Have a wonderful time and buy an extra plumie for me.

hello Everyone!!!

Roxanne.. I'm sure your desert Sunrise is just beautiful as all of your other trees!! I can't wait to see all of your beauties!!!

Hi James!! I do think it is the heat and the humidity we have here. Today it was 105 with the heat index and you can hardly go outside without feeling like you opened the oven door.. It's hot! I was happy to see a bloom after the hurricane . Lol. I did bring in this one and JL Dane. I think I see inflos on that one.. Didn't want to take a chance. I brought in about fifty into the greenhouse, so all is well. No broken branches. Im happy!!!

Hope to see you this weekend... ;-)

That you Chuy!! I love each and everyone.. They all have a story and each one is so special.. My son is watering while I'm gone.. He said that he will thin out my collection for me.. Yea, right... If he wants to live!! Lol..

Hi Iso!! I'll be there tomorrow and leave late Monday... Going to Roxanne's on Friday, JJs on Saturday and the SCPS on Sunday .

Planning to see Bud and Bill during this time too! I can't wait!! I wish I was going to see you again... Have fun on your trip. I'll be back out there again and we will makes plans to meet up again!! I always love seeing you!!!

Have a safe trip!!!

XOXOXOX
Laura

Mona!! It is a nice reward for bringing them in.. It was a lot of work, as you know... But I would rather do it then see them all damaged. Manat would break my heart !!

Hope all is well with you.. Go and buy another DS. You need this one.. It loves our heat and humidity!!! Ohh. We can do any lunch.. What ever you would like!!!

Thank you Texas!! Always so kind!! Mahalo!!

Have a great night!!

Wow Laura, your D.S. Is gorgeous! Mine bloomed for the first time over winter under my HPS light. I did see a few blooms but the darn spider mites took the inflo out :(

Hopefully it will bloom again this year. Mine is a pretty tall tree(for me anyhow), it has to be pushing 3ft with 3 tips I believe.

Hope your having an excellent time in Cali! Lord knows you deserve it!

Andrew
