a few favorites from the last few days
Comments (14)Deangreen, that is a birdhouse sold by Rock City. We had to almost rebuild it to make it stable, but I like it because of memories of barns with "see Rock city" signs painted on the roofs. Nat4b, Cast Your Crown is not a large bloom, but packs a lot into the space. Thanks, Jean. That's too bad. A couple of my daylilies took some damage, but I didn't lose any. I did lose so0me roses though. Maryl, The hot pink is Wall of fire, and the red to the right of it is a Munson called African Plum...it is red, but has some purplish hues in it as the light strikes it. I am enjoying Gus, since he likes to keep me company when I'm in the garden...especially when I pick blueberries for some reason. Ikad, it is another small bloom, but such a pretty one. Mantis, he is a pretty little cat. Much smaller than my indoor tabbies. I don't know how it is, but the path isn't as spacious as it once was. I am planning a change in the big front bed this fall. I plan to move the large lilies to another area and plant daylilies and hecheras there. Mantis is right, Chris. that is Wall of Fire...it is an eye-catching bloom and is little bothered by thrips. No, Juliana, Rocks Cry Out and Cast Your Crown are both toothy, but The colors are similar. CYC is about half the size bloom as RCO. RCO has a two color effect to the petals, but not the sepals, (bitone) and CYC had the same color on petals and sepals. CYc has is toothy on sepals and petals. See below for comparison. CYC is much smaller and is red with the golden toothy edge: Because of the color similarity and the toothiness, I'm sure they are "kin", but haven't looked them up. As for being at peak, I have a lot of plants already putting up instant rebloom so who knows how it will end up. I'm sending as many daylilies as he will take home with my brother this week. He is coming up from Shreveport and wants some daylilies. kay...See MoreMore pics from the last few days...
Comments (10)Thanks everybody! Yeah Bustopher, we're definitely in a drought situation. We didn't get enough rain to build up hardly any snowpack in the upper Sierras. Not much run-off, so the creeks and reservoirs are getting extremely low. We're on every-other-day water rationing. They initially wanted us to cut back water use by 20-25% which for me is fine, because I over-watered last yr. So far, the roses are doing ok....See MoreA few from the last few days.
Comments (9)Kate I'm thinking its Pink Martini. I ordered it last year and they are identical. I may have just thought I ordered another Pomponella. There's no telling with my crazy brain. Kevin I believe Pretty in Pink Eden is going to be great. This is my second year and I believe imgling toned a much bigger support. The buds are big and fat and the blooms are a super dark pink. Love it!!...See MoreA few blooming the last few days
Comments (6)This is not a good picture, but I just couldn't get a better one (and I took several). This is Steeple Jackie. The flower is quite small, but the plant is supposed to be tall. This one hasn't been here long yet, so it hasn't achieved steeple status yet. And yes, I have pollinated those flowers. We would like to see a super tall one in another color other than yellow. Unstoppable is reblooming. It was one of the first to bloom and now is one of the last. I'm not sure if this bloom on You're Fired is on a rebloom scape or not. One more bud keeps putting out those flowers. That's enough for today. Nancy...See MorePrettypetals_GA_7-8
