Wednesday morning observations.
Comments (6)The median age at the nursing home is 87. And the typical stay is about 2.5 years. There is always someone there over 100, but there are a few people in their 50s (mostly MS). Of the 200 or so residents, about 40 percent have dementia at one level or another. And always, there are many on hospice. As a county-owned facility it is not expected to make money (it hasn't for many years). About 60 percent of the residents are on public aid. Originally (more than 100 years ago) it was the county's poor farm. A lot has changed during those years, but they still take care of the community's needy folks. I no longer work there, but I still stop by on a regular basis to visit with my "family." Jim...See Morewednesday morning photo share...

Comments (18)Maryl - I thought f. Val Sweetheart would improve in bud count and height where I planted it last fall, but it hasn't at this time. What was a full sun spot when I planted the divisions is not now (5.5 hours of sun). The ones planted in the slightly sunnier spot only had 13-14 buds, pretty much the same as those fans still in the part-shade seedling bed, which get 5 hours of sun. The highest bud count I've ever had on that seedling is 16 buds. Plants in both areas do have instant rebloom this year, and the rebloom scapes look they're going to have about 12 buds. Anyway this years stats didn't give me the registration flag. In the fall, I'll once again move some divisions to a sunnier spot and hope for better things next year. This time I'm moving it to a place no trees can shade it. Hoosier Nan - The Ruby Lipstick seedling ended up having 15 buds, which is pretty good for a first-year bloomer. The single fan has divided into three, so I'm excited about that. Debra...See More
