My gardenias can't wait to see this!!! Right

Hi Mike! Oops! you may be right! My gardenia could be nasty to me because I have the gender all wrong! You see, in my native language, Gardenia is a "she", but who knows what happens in the plant world? Gardenias are acid loving plants, Right? I have mine in mixed soil composed of peat moss, compost and good soil. I water it solely with rain water (of which we have plenty) I do not let the soil completely dry out. It gets sun in the morning and later on in the afternoon; total about 3 hours. I fertilize it with coffee tea every 2 weeks.( I haven't been able to find Miracid in my area). At the moment the plant has two buds, but they are like that for the last 3 weeks and they do not open. What am I doing wrong? Is there another acid fertilizer that I could use? anything , at all that I could do to get it t o bloom? I have checked for insects and the plants seems healthy otherwise. What is it?Please help!! Europe is going through a heat wave, no rain and we here in the east are short of having a deluge. Every plant is nice and green but my tomatoes are waiting for some sun to ripen. My geraniums are reeling from so much water. I lost two pelargoniums and who knows what else I will lose! Mike thanks for the offer to come to the rescue with the insecticide recipe. My plants will apreciate and so will I! Today sunday is raining again! Depressing!

Isaball, I just love that golddust! It's funny, Mason's never been much of a toy dog. He likes to tug with me but his idea of playing with a toy prior to Jovi's arrival was to rip it apart as fast as possible and see if he could eat the inndards before I got them. (Tennis balls he can "pop" quite easily, powerful jaws.) As a consequence, he only got toys when closely supervised. Well, now there are toys all over the place. The first week I was obsessed about picking them up so Mason wouldn't have access to them. (It's not the ripping up I care about, it's the eating and possibly causing an obstruction.) I finally figured out that the only time he picks up a toy, balls included, is when he wants to "tease" Jovi. He really is a very special boy and I hope some of him rubs off on Jovi. Maire cate, I'm so glad you're enjoying the photos! I really like GSDs and Rotties too. I just like big dogs and if they bred smaller Dobermans then I'd probably have stuck with that breed. As it is, I wanted a smaller dog too. That sofa and loveseat are old, about 12 or so years old. Our dogs have always been allowed on them and we've never had a problem but I keep their nails very short. How often I do them depends on their growing stage. Whit and Mason as mature adults had their nails dremeled once a week. When Mason was a pup, his nails grew so fast that I did them twice a week. Right now everyone is getting their nails done every 2-3 days because I'm teaching Jovi to accept the dremel. She did very well with it this morning! I'll try to get some new photos later today. It seems that one of Jovi's ears is trying to change from semi-erect (flopped over tip) to fully erect. I've never had a BC before so I've got no idea if this is common or what....I've sent a question in to the breeder's Yahoo group. Anyway, my little girl has one ear up and one flooped today. Oh and Marie cate? Just because I understand what you mean about size issues with a Dobe, that doesn't mean I need to make it easy for you. :-) A few more "baby Mason" photos to keep everyone until I get some new Jovi photos.

I bet the sign was wonderful and a treasure to your niece. Thanks again for the watering cans! It's the first "item" I've mosaiced. Nothing but stepping stones and a few flower pots up to this challenge. The grouting was harded than I thought. It took some patience!!

Hi everyone. It really is so nice to meet some more aussies here! I tend to frequent all the forums as I like reading and I love plants. I also post when I think I can help someone. Merrylpateman, thanks for your reply! I've been to Geraldton many years ago so have probably driven past Dongara. I looked up where it is on google maps. It is a nice area of Australia! No, I don't do anything to protect my DR's from rain. They don't look as good as the ones I see on this forum though, so Rachel I won't be posting any photos as there are also no flowers on mine at the moment. Greenclaws, I hope you have a lovely holiday in Oz! Peter, I had a look at the rare imports website, Just for a browse. Not that I am in W.A. though. Thanks for that, I found it interesting as I love looking at plants. Well everyone, happy gardening and take care.

Kathy, most awesome photos! I can certainly understand your anticipation. I'm still trying to get Ebb Tide. It's amazing how one plant from my own state can be so expensive.

I'm wondering about Outrageous. I would like to hear how the color does this year. It looks so pretty and ORANGE.

Wonderful pictures Kathy. It's funny because now, before they bloom, is when I give away roses that just didn't cut it for me last year. Ebb Tide is gone (blooms more fushia pink then Purple/lavender for me)and even though I have a taker for Tuscan Sun, I just can't seem to part with it until I get another peek at those blooms. All I remember is how nicely they aged in our heat - changing to a pinky color that was rather attractive. Your picture shows that well.

Mary, I don't think I would ever sp a rose after just one year. Mine seem to get better each year, and many don't do much that first year, even in my long growing season. Especially the minis. Many folks here would have loved to get your Ebb Tide. I really don't know how it will do over time in my very hot summers. But I looked to hard to find one to give up easily on it.
Yes, Tuscan Sun did great in the heat, in a pot. It is now in the ground looking happy.

I agree with you in principle Kathy. But after seeing Ebb Tide in bloom at my home and then later at nurseries, it just wasn't my thing. I've got too many roses I like waiting in the pot ghetto that need ground space. Be assured that Ebb Tide went to a good home. It's heck to have so little space and so many good roses. You sometimes just have to be ruthless.

Beautiful roses Kathy and your photos are excellent too. It really does look like spring is finally coming. But it looks like it's going to be another really hot year.

Tahitian Sunset was new for me last year and it is quicly becoming one of my favs. It is very healthy and vigorous and blooms a ton for me. The blooms are beautiful and have a lovely citrusy fragrance to my nose. The bush grows to about 4 1/2 -5' tall and maintains a nice shape without having to prune it that way. It's gorgeous.
I am glad to see Outrageous as I ordered one for my mixed floribunda bed this year from pictures I have seen of it.
