Angel Wings and White Wings
Comments (2)There is a fair amount of info on HMF for White Wings, which is evidently a lot like Dainty Bess. Accd to HMF there are two completely different roses with the name Angel Wings - one is a miniature/polyantha, and the other one is a HT. If you google "Angel Wings hybrid tea rose", there are lots of pics, and also comments from various nurseries. Jackie...See MoreMonarchs with messed up wings - Repair with "donor" wings?
Comments (4)Sarah left us a message (she is in fact at another location than she used to be), referring us to the guy we already talked to (from Live Monarch) who came up with the repair method, but she also mentioned something about using a plastic artificial wing, although I have doubts that would work, as Monarchs need specific aerodynamics for the migrating generation to be able to glide far far above (sometimes a mile) the earth, riding air currants. Might require the scales and other specifics not yet discovered. Too many "unknowns". We will try to get back to her and ask if they might have actual wings to spare. One a good note, a new male Monarch eclosed today with no problems at all. We decided to move the chrysalis indoors at 70-75 degrees, and add a crumpled paper towel underneath to give more perching areas in case it fell. Worked perfectly! We should have a warm enough period for a week or more to be able to tag and release him tomorrow....See Moreangel wing or dragon wing begonia
Comments (2)Howdy Janeth, Your Angel Wing will look a lot better if you trim it back so it can bush out later on.

I usually take just a tblspoon of ammonia, in a halfgallon of water and douse the soil when I put the plants out. That supplies the Nitrogen they need for new growth. My potting soil is about half compost so it has most of the other nutrients the plant needs in the pots. Strong...See MoreAnyone have “Wind Beneath My Wings”?
Comments (28)Ha, I was confused for a minute -- I recently purchased Voices in the Wind, which is not blue at all, but when I opened the thread that's the hosta I had in mind. I have Waterslide, and it is one of my favorites too. Dancing With Dragons is another wavy-edged blue. I've only had mine for a year but it seems to be doing well so far....See More
