Too Long to Spring (not all roses) some photos.
Comments (8)Quadra.. With the limited amount of climbers I can use, this one in particular is a star. Well, again a star, if you dont count that it has like a very limiited scent, can have massive thorns and such.. but again, in the northeast , beggers cannot be choosers. ... Also, If i remember correctly , this seedlings would probably be a semi evergreen. I would have to evaluate it further. I dont go out of my way to breed dormants. I do use some of thier genes from tiem to time. The only drawbacks ive seen in my climate, is sometimes ratty spring growth from non dormants....See MoreSending some Spring your way (lots of photos)
Comments (12)Beautiful pictures..That Abutilon stratium is unusual..I know this is a stupid statement but I didn't expect such modern housing. You can tell I don't know anything about your country. Guess my knowledge is what we saw during the VietNam war..I thought it would be more tropical plants like your last picture. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. Please keep them coming for all of us to enjoy....See MoreSpring photos of some palms in my yard
Comments (13)Thanks everyone for your kind words. orchiddude, is that the name of that Pine tree? I planted it years ago and it shot up like a rocket. mastiffhoo, I do like to label everything. Here's some more photos of the front yard: Left to right: Bottle, Coconut and Spindle. The coconut is in a pot and gets moved to the greenhouse in December. (Right to left)Far right: Euterpe edulis, Reinhardtia paiewonskiana, Chambayronia macrocarpa (triple) and Normanbya normanbyi. Dypsis decipiens...See MoreSome more Spring Roses from my Garden
Comments (16)Thanks again to everyone for your very nice and encouraging comments. Always makes me want to improve as a gardener! hoovb. If I have enabled Y O U to a rose, I guess that would make me a Rosarian ;-)! I have to admit you are one of my garden idols! Carol, for some reasons Iceberg roses simply love Southern California and all the rain that we had this year has just let them explode into the spring flush. Beth, I am glad that you like my photos. As for the scrub jays, I don't recall seeing them the first two years that we have been here, but this winter suddenly they showed up at the feeder. Masha, I am always happy if someone likes my "White Bed". I guess there are people, who think it is just plain boring or too monotone, but I like to experiment with the nuances of white and find it very exciting! Krista, thank you so much for your wonderful compliment, that is rather flattering! I didn't know that your Mme. Ernest Calvat is also so young. It might be interesting to compare how our roses are doing in the very different climates that we are gardening in. Serena, it is always nice to have bird guests in the garden, isn't it? You have a very eloquent way to use words "Even Lady Guadalupe shows sheer elegance the way you portrayed her", thanks for saying that! Florence, it gives me joy that you like my garden! Christina...See Morej0nd03

Toro, glad you enjoyed the pics! All of the pics were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S5 =)The nuttall will need to grow quite a bit more before any scion can be taken off! It is still getting acclimated to it's new spot, however, it is showing signs that it might be getting comfortable in it's new setting. Arktrees has also spotted a good sized red nuttall(?) in a parking strip in NWA. I need to let Dax (the inspiration for this thread) take a look and see if he thinks it worth grafting.
I hear ya on the weeds. I spent the majority of my weekend outside weeding the beds. Couldn't spray roundup because it was so windy. Oh well...
