Update End of Season Blooms

8 years ago

This is what is left of my end of season bouquets. These were cut on November 19 - Original post under New Vases. I can't believe that they have lasted this long.

Ingrid Bergman, Black Baccara and one Marie Curie

That's it for this year - looking forward to 2016

Awww, thanks. I'm not so sure I have "skills" per se, but I like puttering around back there and, honestly....I'm cheap so almost everything in my garden has been scavenged from around the house. I like pushing myself to see how creative I can be. Exhibit A: Tiki torch as cucumber trellis... :)

Kristy - one solution for slugs/snails is to use a thin copper sheet cut to the heighth of a small pop bottle or shorter, and tube it around the base of your brug. They won't touch the copper for long - so I hear quite a bit - I kill my very few slugs when I found so I've never had to try this trick yet. It's a temp solution, you'd still need to kill them all off. -Sandy FYI - Did you know that the main food for fireflies/glow butts are snails/slugs.

I still couldn't enlarge the thumbnails and the links failed as well. I get this message with about half of the thumbnails that people post: "The action that you were trying to perform has failed." It might be the computer I'm on. I've never paid attention if it happens with all the computers or just some. There's 4 PC's and a laptop that I use. It just depends on where in the house I am when I go online. The problems started after Photobucket changed the format, then changed back. If it wasn't such an easy image host I'd switch but the others like Picassa are too confusing for me.

Bryan, Ive bought late season rooted plumies from Hawaii, FL, Thailand, Singapore, when they came in they looked ok but soon after looked sickly, even wrinkled. A while later it bounced back and ended up being fine. I think the plant goes through shock because of the environmental and temp changes in fall. The plant was use to warmer weather and humidity, when it gets here it rebels and takes a turn. Give it a chance, I think it will rebound.

Thanks all! They aren't looking that great anymore - Ingrid and Marie Curie are dropping their petals but Black Baccara hasn't done much, still hanging in there. I think the buds were too tight. I am considering drying them because they are still pretty.
Kublakan - out of all my roses, Black Baccara is my DH's favourite even though it has no scent. A beautiful classic HT form and excellent cutting rose.
