Madeleine is a survivor. She's come back form being stepped on, mowed and then planted in too much shade!

Memphis Blues, miniflora, nice purple with good form...for a second!

Memorial Day, I love the ruffled edges of this one!

Miss Flippins, miniflora, another one that blows too quickly.

Mardi Gras nice bright spot in the garden.

Montana is a nice red mini but not very vigorous.

Mrs. Robinson, is a Cliff Orent rose. I love the bright edges! It's done very well for me too.

Millie Wlaters, bright orange mini!

And my only N, Nostalgia is an OGR looking mini.

Hi Kathy I live near Tupelo and they have one, altho I'm not a member. I see them in the paper and have gone to several of their functions. I work in New Albany and they have one, I see it in the newspaper that I pick up at work. Not sure how to get in touch with them though. Surely there is something in Memphis. What about the Botanical Garden in memphis? Also most communities have Master Gardeners, you can find them on the web. Laurie

Bermuda Grass N.MS
Q
Comments (5)
I don't know where you are in N. Miss to think that Bermuda will freeze out. It certainly does NOT. It's a damned invasive weed, and for well north of here on up to practically KY. Lots of friends in Nashville fight bermuda in their flower beds every year like I do. Fluziflop p butyl is my friend, and the only way I can come to detente with it in my flower beds. It grows better there than in the "lawn". I think if you try to kill it, it makes it stronger. So, instead of trying to make it grow, try to kill it. Several applications of Roundup hardly faze it. :~( But, seriously, the time to plant Bermuda is in late May, early June when it' heating up. It's hard, because all of the weeds are germinating then too. But, if you wait too late in the summer to plant, then it doesn't get established well enough and send roots down deep to be able to survive winter. If you can get it over that first winter, it's indestructible.

Thanks! for the N/MS (Bruce) Plant Swap

I had a great time. It was so nice to meet you all & I hope we can do an even bigger/better once next year. We'll try to have it earlier & I think we'll have more local participation. Pat: I'm glad you stopped by the nurseries -- I'm sure they appreciated it! Congrats on the doorprize you won too!! Ruth: Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it & yes, we'll definitely try it again!! If any of you want to do me a big favor, send a short note to the Calhoun County Journal (Letter to the editor style) to lisamcneece@tycom.net about the plant swap. It will look good for the library for hosting it and please thank the Bruce Fine Arts Juniorette Club. They add clippings, etc. to their scrapbook & get credit based on their projects, etc. They would really appreciate it, I know! THANKS! (Lisa at the Journal is the one who donated the plant hangers for door prizes, too!!)

Geneo, I think all those people that say "climate change is real" are just trying to counter the people that refuse to acknowledge the scientific data that is out there. There are many people that just ignore or refuse to recognize the facts that do exist/are known. When they use a phrase like "climate change is real" they may not be stating it as clearly as they should, but you know what they are trying to say. When you say, "Global climate changes occur all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural ÂnoiseÂ" that also seems to be easily misinterpreted. There is data that fairly clearly illustrates that human activity is having an effect on climate. The degree of the effect is hotly debated, but that doesn't mean the effects cannot be seen. If human activity is having as great of an effect as many climatologists think possible and we wait until the exact amount of human influence is known, we may cook in our own juices before anything is done to address the problem. You are right to want change to occur in a responsible way. We need to act reasonably and not on emotion. But, just as there are people using gloom and doom to push their beliefs, there are also those that choose to ignore the whole thing and act as if there were no reason to even examine what's happening. I am surprised at the number of people that just want to bury their heads in the ground. Maybe it's a counter reaction to other's excitement, but both sides need to stay aware of the facts and stop acting on emotion.

Over in the daylily forum, these alphabet entries are invitations for everyone to post. I'm beginning to think that is not the case here. At any rate, I will post a few yet this time since I uploaded them.

MOONSTONE

McCARTNEY ROSE It only briefly looks like this, as we know.

seil, I'm lovin' 'em all! But especially Mardi Gras. Do tell me more about it. Helpmefind has little info and only one pic. Does it really have all that yellow mixed in with the red? How is its disease-resistance? Rebloom? Staying power?

mantis, I enjoyed your pics also. Don't think there is any rule against someone adding additional alphabet pics. It probably has more to do with threads getting too long and heavy and some readers still using landlines and therefore unable to pull up the thread without waiting a long time. I really like your roses--is Nicole really that lavenderish/medium purple? I'm not sure what color to call it, but I love it.

Thanks, Inga. The minis are a range of sizes. Nostalgia is very small, maybe the size of a quarter, but Memphis Blues can be nearly as large as a flori, like 2 to 3 inches.

Thank you, Beth. I'm glad that Maddy made it too, sorry about yours. She's out in the new bed now and has really put on some size!

Thank you, Krista and Jim!

Lol, yes, TNY, MG is a LOUD rose! But I love it!

Not to worry, Mantis, I don't mind a bit! Your roses and photos are lovely and I always enjoy seeing them! I particularly like that Nichole Miller!

Thanks, Kate. You were looking at the Jordan HT. I have the Zary floribunda. It does have a lot of yellow at the base and gets oranger as it goes out to the edges. It's listed as a pink blend but this year I haven't seen much pink in it. It's been a good bloomer but I'd say it only has average disease resistance. It black spots for me and loses it's leaves but will bounce back and bloom again anyway. The blooms last a day or so, not that long, and fade some as they age. It's another one that's been moved from a pot to the new bed so I'll be interested to see how it does out there!

Sorry, it's Nicole Carol Miller. Yes, the color on the picture is quite accurate. I agree that long threads are not desirable. If I want to comment on something towards the beginning, there is too much scrolling.

That said, here I add another "M."

I love your Memorial Day. Such a gorgeous picture!!!! I've had MD for three years (potted) and it really hasn't done much. Maybe 4 flowers/year. How does yours do? I'm thinking it might like to be in a warmer climate.

I really love your Mother of Pearl. My daughter went "OOOOOOOhhhhhhh" when she saw your photo. I have one that I've had for 2 years. First year did nothing, but really putting out the blooms now. Do you find that yours is a bloom machine??

Nicole Miller - swoooooon!!! I love the color!!! I want it!!! Gahhh, drool.

I like your mini rose - looks so wide awake!!! LOL

Thank you for sharing your beauties!!!! Wow!!

Memorial Day does bloom better in the warmer weather for me. But mine is quite tall and upright. I'd say it gets to 5 feet high. It blooms in sprays of 3 or 4 roses and it takes a good 6 to even 8 weeks to repeat so I only get usually 2, maybe 3 if fall is warm, flushes a season. With your shorter season that might not be to good.

mother of Pearl is a strong repeater. Wish more hybridizers would seek to emulate this plant's habits. Here's the full bush shot, minus a few blooms that got snatched for vases.
