Comments (14)I have several Erromena's in the ground so I am comfortable leaving this one in a pot over the winter and not worrying about it. So far so good. I can't seem to get my Sea Fire to grow but this sport is really amazing. It's so bright in the spring. Here is Eye Declare in August. I've noticed that although it wants to go green, if it gets some direct sun it gets lighter instead of darker - sort of like On Stage. Eskimo Pie, frustrating but pretty. This is 5 years old. At year three I divided it. The other part is in a pot in sun. The one in the sun grows but the leaves are small. This one seems frozen in time with maybe 3 or 4 large leaves each year....See More2012 Lopsided Lumpy Garden Part One and Little E
Comments (20)Thank you soooo much Jim, Tammy, Florence, NewGirlinNorCal... Florence I actually have to rebring in your link of Viking Queen to my friend in South Africa. She is drooling over VQ and I've already pre-sent a link to your thread a long time ago posting on how beautiful VQ is...Mine is very prolific, but the flowers are very small compared to yours so I always show your thread as to how VQ is supposed to look... VQ is not available in South Africa, so she asked for cuttings last year. So it's time for me to repost "apologizing" that my VQ doesn't look near as wonderful as it should as in yours(thrips force VQ to explode with multiple small blooms by strength of numbers instead of huge blooms like yours).... NewGirlinNorCal, we are looking forward to your photos of Anne Marie de Montravel! I loooove the rare roses! Tammy, the Anna de Diesbach is actually in the Part II thread. I was going to post her to coincide with Eluane's birthday.... Ginni77, we love having you return, as Florence says... whereas many of us are newer. I've been here for about 3 years. This is such a fantastic place for Tea and Company! And yes, you can talk about hockey all you want! :D Heck here I talk about Eluane and her dog agility, haha! Ginni, Folklore is still a relative youngster in my garden (I got him mid-May 2010) but I can already tell he's gonna be a BIG rose!!! He's own root, and his first year, I thought noooo way is he going to live up to the 8'-10' reputation that the grafted Folklore has....His first year in my garden, he was a humble 3'8" tall rose...This year, he is fast catching up with my skyscraper Lincolns lol! I have no doubt that Folklore will likely end up over 7' tall by the end of this year....See MoreRainy Day Pictures part II
Comments (12)My favorite Heuchera is Berry Smoothie because the color is so bright and vibrant in the spring. Harvest Burgundy is one I bought in 2013 as a small plant in a 4" pot and it has grown a lot. I love the different colors on it. I also love Green Spice which I have had for years and it is a good grower. Sugar Berry is also a pretty purple and is a smaller plant. I just bought Caramel last year and it has grown a lot which impresses me! Georgia Peach is another one I have had for a few years which is beautiful all the time. It even looked good in February LOL. Here is a pic of Georgia Peach with Liberty and Dawn's Early Light. Thanks for your nice comments....See Moredon_in_colorado
