Lates and Greats for Tuesday
Most of my earlies have finished blooming, or are down to only a few buds. The MLs and lates have taken center stage.
Kentucky Lucky, a late, had twins for its ffo today. This is the latest KL has ever started. It usually starts more than a week before Best for Last, but not this year. The scapes are shorter than in past years, and the blooms are right at and above the foliage this time.
Rubies for Congo - I'm not sure what created this background look. There wasn't fog this morning.
Baja California keeps going like an Energizer Bunny.
August Frost - Excuse the mushy. Every year I try to cross late bloomers AF and Last Snowflake but lose the pods to the heat. Maybe the cross will take this year, since AF is in so much more shade than past years.
Willow Dean Smith was looking lovely, although more lavender than pink in the early morning light.
Pirahna Attack - The teeth are actually gold instead of white. I like the look of this Sadler intro. I'm crossing it twith The Thing That Ate the Seedling Bed.
"Valentine Sweetheart" continues to have good openings every day. In this photo you can see some of the branching and bud placement.
Here's another bloom on the clump.
Tiffany Shade, a Hanson late, always has scapes 2-3 inches shorter than the registration.

Comments (4)Schoolhouse- I went and looked at my recipe...and it's not apple crisp, but similar. You have the oatmeal mixture on the bottom, then the apples, then a little more oatmeal on top. It's so good! Here's the recipe :) Oven at 350. In a medium mixing bowl, combine: 1 cup flour 1 cup oats 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1 stick butter or margerine (1/2 cup) Take out 1/2 cup to save for top of dessert. In a medium saucepan, combine: 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and chopped 2 tbsp. water 2 tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon Dash of nutmeg Dash of cloves Bring to boiling, reduce heat and simmer (covered) for 8-10 minutes. In a square 9" x 9" (or 8" x 8") pan, press the remaining flour/oat crumb mixture into the pan. Spread apple filling on top and sprinkle reserved (1/2 cup) crumbs mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes until top is golden brown. Cool and then cut into bars (makes about 25) and this is so good with tea! Also could have ice cream with it, but I like it plain. It's not dry, so you don't have to put cream or ice cream over it. This is almost the same recipe as BH&G dessert recipe, with just a few changes :)...See Morenumber 94 Anything to do with the late great Papou

Comments (13)I remember when Papou first came to the web as a novice (around 2002 or so) and asked Hank Zumach how to grow hostas! I specifically remember that because one of his first posts was about losing someone very important to him and seeking solace in hostas. I was in that same place at that time so his comments stuck. Hank measured each one from year to year, Height, width and eyes to note the difference. Papou carried on that tradition. Does anyone here (oldtimers) remember that when you posted too many photos "Spike" the Garden web moderator sent you to Disneyland, which meant that when you tried to post a response and Spike didn't like the answer you posted, he removed it and redirected you to a web site for Disneyland. Much has changed. It is good that some of Ghislain's work has been preserved. -Babka...See More
