hippeastrum sending up a flowerbud june 12 2011, will squirrels?
Comments (1)The squirrels shouldn't bother your growing flower stalk or bud..I have had a few summer blooms with no problems, (and believe me we have squirrels all over the place) and I have one currently about to bloom with a 10" stalk..but this plant is on a deck. So..do you have any decks you could temporarily put your plant on.. and if you are still worried, just bring the plant in the house for a week or two until the blooms are over and then bring it back outside!!

Comments (9)LOL, Shilpa! Flattery will get you everywhere. It's decided then---I'll bring the sour creamed cukes, and maybe something sweet. Judy, let me know what to bring in the way of picnic supplies/tables/chairs etc. See you all there! ~L...See MoreJune Lotto Sign-Ups
Comments (18)I am sorry ladies this block did not work out for you. I choose this block trying to make it different and easy, thinking there would be fewer participants because of all the summer demands and a larger block would be good. I do think sewing an accurate scant 1/4" and pressing each seam very well is probably critical to achieving the correct size. I didn't realize the black background would be difficult to see - sorry- lesson learned. I appreciate your efforts!

Comments (16)nickjoseph and nippstress: The name of the rose is Spectra, and that is how it looked yesterday. In 2014 it emerged around July 15 after that brutal winter. It did not flower, and was a weakling in 2014. Now it has 12 basal breaks, and is back to normal. Spectra is a large flowered climber; in France it is considered a hybrid tea if memory serves me correctly. Usually we cannot grow large flowered climbers in the Midwest. I planted two of these elsewhere in town and they died within 2-years. Behind my office where this is grown I have a microclimate that is probably more like Zone 7, with a southern exposure. I have buildings on the West, my shorter building on the North, and a longer one on the East that block the wind. In other words this rose bed is in the inside of a U facing south. I planted a small bed of 5-roses about 15 years ago when I moved in and they grow amazingly well. I have had almost no disease issues in this bed. The Prince gets 4 feet wide, and 5-6 feet tall. Spectra when it comes up timely like it is this year usually gets 8-9 feet tall. About 8-years ago I put a cane in the ground and it grew into a rose bush (Polarstern). If you have any tips how to post pics, I'd appreciate it because it is hit or miss for me. I posted pics on this site more than a decade ago, and even 4-5 years ago on the fruit and orchard subsite, when this site had a different interface. Now, I cannot figure out how to reliably post pics within a post....See Moredjacob68z5sewi
