What's wrong with this Amaryllis? (Dec 18, no signs of activity)
Comments (17)I have to tell my experience with amaryllis. I purchased about 6 different ones on clearance one year. They bloomed well, & in the spring I took them outside. They bloomed again in very late summer, & in the fall I brought them inside. They didn't bloom during the winter, but did bloom again the following summer, & continued a couple more years until I forgot & left them out overwinter. I could kick myself for that because I've never seen those varieties again locally for sale. Of course, I never really gave them that dark, rest period. I think if you give them that dark period it lets them think they must bloom when they get light. Without it, they have a different cycle. That is just the experience I had & may be different for others....See MoreSome Last Flowers On Sunday
Comments (7)RED HILL is a fabulous preformer and I just love it. You have to know thats saying alot as its not my usual form. In spite of that, I think its a stunner. Great plant under those pretty flowers....See MoreSome Friday Pictures
Comments (5)It (BOLD TIGER) is a nice "oldie" here in the garden. I had it before I even got the daylily crazies and the clump has gotten nice and large by now. It looks good against the near white of LIME FROST that I have next to it....See MoreWinter Aconite & Snowdrops
Comments (6)They are in the south part of the yard- and are shaded in the east by the neighbors HUGE pine tree- and directly in front (south) of them is a lilac- so they don't get sun till the afternoon but they get a solid dose of it! They are tucked into the front of a bed with Dwarf Mugos- a (native)plum tree- a (native)hazelnut shrub- a long soft needled 4 year old rescued unknown native pine and a rescued arborvitie - that when I planted all of these things in their bed- looked like there was way too much room between them, so I added a tree peony, some siberian iris, and little blue stem.... I tossed fabric over it all and added chips to the top- and just prune and weed out the creeping charlie and the dandilions. I really do not touch the soil- and don't even bother to water any more. I figure I will leave them to battle it out as to who will survive- I wonder if drainage is the key- even in my mostly sandy black loam- I have a few places that will winter rot daffs and other plants and bulbs in the winter- but will not be moist enough to support ligularia in the summer.... You know - you can always plant squill- mine are coming up blue in the lawn already- and in the beds where I originally planted them......See More
