Dale Thomas Intros blooming today. (Late blooming)
Comments (10)I did some budcounts on Thomas intros. Some might be off as these are all blooming and its difficult to get an accurant count until you have empty scapes and budscars. So they might be low, but they are deffinately at least what I have counted. S. Sunset 18 S, Friendshp 10 Flamboyant Promise 15 S. Campfire 12 S. Carnival 22 Dancing With Sandra 35 Normans Folly 21 Tomorrows Heartbreak 23 Apache Way Dance 13 Hello Helen 16 Harlans Pride 18 We had that dry spell here of 6 weeks with rain before they started blooming. But since then we have gotten decent rains. So with more water maybe more blooming?...See MoreWhat's Blooming in your gardne - a photo thread - June 2013
Comments (60)Thanks to all the beautiful blooms. I went out yesterday and got a 1 gallon size Karl Rosenfield peony for $15. It's young and has not bloomed nor does it have any buds. For that price, I can wait! I ran out of time and was unable to put it in the ground today. Thanks to the picture of Claire's Knock Out rose, I went out today and got one for $11.50. It's a left over from last year and very leggy. The woman who takes care of the plants there told me to prune it 'back hard' and 'feed it' once a week or every other week to force it to grow more stems and leaves. Oh, I should have taken a before and after picture. I have to say that it's awful looking right now. After pruning, I re-potted it in a 3 gallon container. I think it will stay in the pot to recuperate and grow. I will plant it in a couple of months. Or, should I just winter the whole pot in the garage and plant it next spring? -Tina...See MoreWhat's Blooming in your garden - photo thread - June 2013 part 2
Comments (39)pixie lou, I love the bright white of the shasta daisies. The nasturtium is a nice color. Do you start from seeds each spring? PM2, my patch may not be big enough. I just started last year with 3 plants. As for bees, I don't have many. I don't know why. Could be that the last owner used 'many chemicals' as quoted from the next door neighbors. Could be because there were very few flowers when we first moved in....like 2 butterfly bushes and 4 poppies. BTW, the oakleaf hydrangea is beautiful. Claire, how does that Itea virginica smell? nhbabs, I like that Clematis 'Fascination'. terrene, thanks. My crazy dog has been scaring off all forms of wild life except for the occasional deer and cats. I planted some sunflowers and have been worried that the deer will find them. Putting a fence is not ideal since the sunflowers are in the front yard and they will be at least 5 feet tall. Probably, should of thought of it before planting but I wanted colors in the hot southwest spot in the yard. -Tina This post was edited by Tina_n_Sam on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 18:59...See MoreWhat's Blooming in your garden - a photo thread - July 2013
Comments (88)Dee No worries about your review of the URI article. I was a bit put off by the lawn/imidocloprid thing myself. Usually the URI entomology articles are quite good, but that one wasn't. I did however, find a link through that article to Arbico Organics that sells a variety of different kinds of beneficial nematodes. I've been looking for Steinernema Carpocapse for some time. Not only does this nematode control grubs, it also is the only beneficial nem that will control foliar nematodes. Foliar nems are a real problem in Hostas and are hard to control. The link is below. Thanks for the Prarie Sun ID. Lost the tag on that one. H. Cracker Crumbs is a mini. I little bright gold thing. Bella Anna is always pink, regardess of pH. The only drawback is that it flops like Annabelle does. I need to get some Peony supports for it. I bought that one for $5 at Weston Nurseries in November after the pallet sale broke up. It's grown well. Enjoy the weekend. It's going to get hot next week. Remember, nothing lasts in the garden. Steve Here is a link that might be useful: Arbico Organics...See More

8 years agoI have a few late bloomers that just came up.
Musk Rainbow colors are real dark this morning;
I bought this one years ago and was told it was a Maui Beauty. It doesn't look like that is the correct ID, so I will now call it a NOID.
This bloom is off of a cutting from the first Plumeria I ever got. A freind bought is from Home Depot years ago. Still growing strong in Central Florida in December. It blooms like crazy and is very fragrant:

What should be in flower at the moment, but got sadly beheaded in ex-cyclone Oswald a couple of years ago, Musk Rainbow. Had the most wonderful, fruity scent.

Beautiful blooms from you all.....
The season has just started for me and I have a few to share. I'm in the first stages of bringing out all of my trees. It's been a cold spring here in Virginia but I'm seeing blooms already and lots of inflos.
Have a wonderful season and I hope to see more blooms from everyone!!!

7 years agoHi all. It is late Autumn where I am but my four year old seed-grown dwarf plumie, has finally decided to bloom. This is its first flower, which opened today. Love the colour and it has a gorgeous, fruity fragrance. Bought from a thai seller, the seeds were meant to be "Singapore Pink". Needless to say, I am very happy that I ended up with something else. It is definitely a dwarf, though. The plant is tiny.
