Sure has been slow on here. What is everyone up to?
Comments (9)OOPS...got behind on this thread. Peggy, I am still working on my spreadsheets and making labels in preparation to then plant, plant, plant without having to stop and make more labels. I have targeted Thanksgiving for having all bulbs, or nearly all the important bulbs planted. I'm not as concerned about the few NO ID daffs I have and the 250 or so specie tulips and muscari. I can sneak them in easily anywhere anytime before a good ground freeze. You wear me out with everything you have going so many evenings? Has all of the exercising given you more energy? Linda, Congratulations on your very first grand baby. I'm sure he caused a lot of excitement for everyone and hope he is doing great. Sorry to hear of your Mom's fall, but glad it was nothing serious. Possibly it served as a good warning to try and be very careful. She sure seems to be doing well for her age and please tell her I am looking forward to her making it to the next swap...hear? Doris, I'm sure the daffs your boss got will not to too pink. I'm going to guess that they were likely ordered from Breck's. If so, their pics are touched up and are not a good depiction of their true colors. Here is Breck's Pink Collection (not!) Here are some pics that better show their true colors Chromacolor at Daffseek Romance at Daffseek Pink Charm at Daffseek In attending some local Daffodil Shows, I did see many daffs that had a very pretty pink color to them...a true soft pink, nothing peachy about it. Another thing too, is that a daffs color changes as the bloom matures. A bloom that emerges as a yellowy peach can turn its true color of being more pink as it matures. The pic below is Salome on the left and Mrs. R. O. Backhouse on the right. The pic below was taken one day later (and some blooms were added), but you can seed how they have 'pinked up' a good bit. Neither are ones I would call one of the truer pinks though compared to what I have seen at shows. Peggy, your garden club lunch and then work sounds like a lot of fun. I hope it does well and you get us some pics next year. Sue...off to hopefully finish up pretty well on labels today....See MoreWhat Else is and Has Been Blooming
Comments (8)Thanks, Debra. the reason for all the clump shots is most of my season has been with clumps. It has been a weird year. I started with just a few and then the blooms almost exploded. I did get past peak, but there is still an awful lot of blooming going on. And I have a few late reds which adds joy to my heart. I do love reds. You know I have always been partial to Desperado Love and it rewarded me for it year. Garrett Mason always looks like a painting to me. And the critter pics are my favorites too. I am having fun "wooing" Bella. She was coming to me this morning, only three feet away when Gus decided to run her off...silly cats. Chris, My Heart Belongs to Daddy Just made clump after clump of blooms it was an instant rebloomer, and it is a brightener. Rocket Booster is one I will never be without.. It has a fair number of poly blooms, and the blooms are large so it makes quite a dramatic display. My Wall of Fire has always been in the sun. It had one rebloom scape this year. It gets more comment than any other single bloom I have. I so hope yours will do well in the sun because it is a stunner. Thank you both for looking and commenting. kay...See MoreSome of what's been blooming so far... picture heavy
Comments (14)Thanks for all the nice comments! There have been daylilies I have not been able to get a good picture of because of the weather, like Primal Scream and Margo Reed Indeed both had their FFOs yesterday. This morning, there are a few others that look to have their FFOs, but are not fully open yet and may not be before the storm rolls in. Growgirl, I hope you have better luck whereever you are in MI this morning. Maryl, the echinacea is Hot Papaya, it's my favorite. Unfortunately, the Japanese beetles love it too for some reason though! Since the older blooms are kind of fluffy, scraggly and dark colored, the beetles (and the damage) are not that noticeable. I just go by and knock the JBs into a container of soapy water every couple of days. Statmam, you're right, those are garden ornaments/art... they are 'alliums' that Gardener's Supply sells/sold, Everlasting Allium - I have several of them, just gave four of them a fresh spray painting this spring. I love them....See MoreSome of what’s been blooming
