Confused - Anna Olivier vs Bermuda Anna Olivier
Comments (8)Last time I looked Vintage Gardens was selling the correct buff version, but only as a rose that they will specialty root for you if you order it - so it takes a while. They got theirs from cuttings from an old plant in my garden (at the time Gregg told me that the correct version was not in commerce in No America). The Historic Sacramento Cemetery has a plant which is still marked with its study name of "Schmidt's Buff Giant" - they have plant sales a few times a year, maybe you could convince them to root it for sale. If you ever get to No Cal I would be glad to give you cuttings - I have 3 plants of it now in my garden - the 90 plus year old original, and two that I rooted from it. jackie...See More2012 Eluane's BDay, Anna d. D & the Lopsided Garden Part II
Comments (13)Thank you so much everyone for your kind words about the Lopsided Garden, and most of all, Eluane sends everyone puppy kisses for wishing her a happy Birthday...She really is quite the princess! Instead of eating her cake with one big gulp like most dogs, she nibbled first with the provolone cheese hearts and the tomatoes at the rim. Next she tried to nibble at the top, not wanting to ding up my delicate china plate. She still couldn't get to the cake, so I ended up slicing the cake into little wedges all of which she polished off so daintily, haha! Nick, about the "Italian Cafe" outings. Krista, thank you-- also I have a question, how often does your Anna bloom? Krista, she is as fragrant as she is beautiful, yours and my kind-of-rose :D Lesley, oh, yes, Eluane is the PERFECT garden dog. She loves accompanying me, very gentle and careful with plants. She also gets real excited to see rose packages arrive at the doorway too, lol!Jim, it's great to see Baby Gunnar, and Baby G is such a Blessed Lucky boy to have you and Sue as his grandparents. Seil, oh I looove seeing puppies, so adorable! Renee, thanks so much for the compliments about the photography; I have a long ways to go and I also badly need a closeup lens...My eyesight is also deteriorating as well. Only until it's on the computer screen can I tell if there's any blur, so I actually have to multi-shoot, because many end up blurry. Renee, I forgot to mention in previous threads that BOTH! Viking Queen and Compassion are Florence-inspired. I wanted both roses after seeing Florence's gorgeous blooms. Everyone here are some more photos I took, the ones I forgot to include, and one new rose plant, Coronado HT. Climbing America: Dwarf Mountain Laurel: Viking Queen Climber (forgot to show individual blooms): Viking Queen, even though it's a "modern" rose still has the bloom form of an OGR, which I'm crazy about. More HT form of Viking Queen: Paso Doble: Just like the name a vivid orangish/scarlet red. Compassion HT Climber: Nepata- Walker's Low: Coronado HT: I'm not a fan of the ruffled petals sort of look, but every brand new rose deserves its own special highlight, and at least Coronado's color reminds me so much of Chicago Peace. Very bright and intense Flamingo/Las Vegas Pink, haha!...See MoreAnna’s Russian Tomato
Comments (8)I looked it up and Champion II is a hybrid. EM Champion is Open Pollinated. Here's what Tania from Tatiana's Tomato Base says about it: "Sprawling determinate plants with wispy regular leaf foliage grow up to 3' tall and are excellent for growing in pots. High yield of red fruits, from perfectly shaped hearts to slightly ribbed/ruffled. 6-12 oz. Delicious balanced flavor, meaty flesh. Very few seeds make it a real challenge to collect save many seeds for this variety." Linda...See MoreMaster Rain Gardener - Rain Garden in TN
