do you take your orchids on vacation :-)
Comments (2)Hi Imagardener. Your blooms are beautiful! Yes, I too am obsessed. When we travel it's often in a travel trailer and DH knows the last to get packed for a trip will be the 'kids. Either my tiny seedlings, recovering plants in fragile health, and/or anything requiring daily attention. And ALWAYS something in bloom!...See MoreDo you think daylilies take a year off now & then
Comments (3)Ha Kay! I like your way of thinking :) I'm always trying to think why this sort of thing happens or when a daylily unexpectedly dies, what I'm doing wrong. I've decided to just roll with it. Sometimes it makes no sense to me why a daylily should up & die while the one right next to it is doing extra great. Every year after bloom I tend to lose 1 or 2 daylilies, one year I lost quite a few. Often after they had an exceptional bloom year. Last season it was Buttered Popcorn which bloomed beautifully. Daylilies all around were doing great. I just have to take Kay's advice :)...See MoreHow many hostas do you add each year?
Comments (28)I think it's sad (she says with a grin) when you have to buy a few more to hit "the next big number". I bought (or received in trade) 54 plant this year. And of course I only purchase the must haves off my Lust List! Then I went to First Look (American Hosta Society's event where hybridizers show off potential new introductions). Took in a few tours and garden centers and then there were 19 more to join my "potted" garden. However, they were all too good to pass up (and some were won in a raffle): Parhelion Americana Little Wonder Olive Branch Patriots Fire Ice Age Trail Lakeside Symphony Teaspoon Island Charm Kismet Blue Lightning Hippodrome First Choice One Man's Treasure Gay Feather Ghost Tiara Morning Light Sugar and Spice Cats Eyes Now at 174 I think to myself...can I reach 200 this year?...See MoreWhere do you find a collection of each years lowest winter temp?
Comments (5)Lagomar It all depends on the jet stream. If it dips south we can get very cold though for a short time. .Coldest I've experienced was 25 for almost 6 hours while 10 miles west of me was 10 degrees colder. Will never forget the snow of 78 lol Can get cold as early as Oct and as late as march. but is VERY unusal . Right now we are experiencing a cold spell due to Sandy think we might hit 48 today which would be a record. I live very close to the gulf stream so highs and lows are moderated a lot lol I always predict that it will be either above or below average lol have never been wrong yet!!! lol gary...See Moreoutsideplaying_gw
