New conifer pics and backyard progress(bandwidth warning!)
Comments (29)Thanks for the maple images, amazingly with some 230 cultivars in my database I don't have most of those listed! I'll buy a few maples from Topiary Gardens for sure. The graft listed date feature is SUPURB, I wish conifer growers did that. I'd love to be able to lable exactly how old some of my plants are. coniferjoy, thanks for the compliment and the corrections! I always welcome advice, name changes, critisism, etc. as I am just a new conifer 'fish' and learning a lot as I go. The great thing about these lables and plant markers is that I have been able to effortlessly remove lables that are misspelled and make new ones for pennies on the dollar. I am anxiously awaiting spring so I can watch all these little guys start going. Indeed, I have visions of having well meshed vistas of conifers of all shapes, sizes, colors and textures. Walking around Coenosiums gives an amazing perspective on how impressive a mixed conifer garden really is. These three images just put me at a loss of words.

Comments (13)Yes, Blue Yew, it is. Ken - the even was the American Conifer Society Northeast Region Field Day in Bucks County PA. Click the link for more info. It was a truly spectacular day and a mind-boggling introduction to the conifer world for me. The people were welcoming, friendly and happy to share information. If you are interested in seeing breath-taking gardens like this one and meeting truly inspiring people, I would absolutely suggest joining the ACS and becoming active in your local region. The next outing for this group is going to be in the Danbury CT area and a few of the gardens on the tour have been shown on the Martha Stewart Show and highlighted in Fine Gardening magazine. I cannot wait! Anyway, thanks for looking I tried to get lots of different views, but the photos pale by comparison to standing there and seeing the real thing.

Comments (2)And Saskatchewan, where Neil comes from, is not precisely known for conifers either (I don't think), so who'd 'a thunk he'd write our song???? I love the puns - those have serious potential. KarinL...See MoreAmerican Conifer Society Meeting, Knoxville!
Comments (2)I haven't mentioned it on here. I don't think there are any other conifer society members on here except me. I was very excited when I heard about the meeting being here, for about 30 minutes. Then I thought about the price to attend and was depressed cause it's too much for me. I don't think it will really impact very many people here. There are only about 5 (?) conifer society members in Knoxville. Maybe after I win a sweepstakes or that rich uncle I don't know about dies and leaves me all his money, they will have it somewhere around here again....See MoreUser
