I think I have a MONSTER! Can't wait..... (pics)
Comments (32)I had posted some pics on the perennials forum too, and someone over there wanted to know what the foliage looked like, so thought I would post it here too! :o) Thoses little white shoots that you see in the picture will all be blooms. As I said earlier they are really sprouting out all over. Glad those of you that are looking for it have found some places that carry it. But, BEWARE it does get big, and remember that "dumb" me planted 2 of them. Thought with our cold winters and shorter summers that it probably wouldn't get as big as advertised! Well lots of things don't (at least in other peoples gardens!) my daughter swears she does NOT want to know what is buried in our yard, as everything gets so BIG! ;-)...See MoreCan't wait for G20 to be over!
Comments (10)patti43, you are correct that the main intent of the G20 summit is to discuss what steps should be taken to avert further financial crisis in the global economy. In a nutshell, many of the protesters are against having G20 summits at all, saying that they don't feel the G20 leaders have any right to make decisions that impact the rest of the world. Some protesters use the summit in hopes that their messages on a variety of issues including the economy, climate change, and globalization will capture the attention of world leaders attending the summit. Some protest that they don't want the G20 countries to cut stimulus spending until jobs recover. Greenpeace International is protesting that if G20 countries could spend billions of dollars to rescue banks in trouble, why not find money to help unemployed workers, for the environment and for social causes. Student activists are protesing being tens of thousands in debt for their education. They had signs that said "One billion for education, not fortification", inferring that the 1 billion spend on security and fortification to hold the summit would have been better spent on providing less costly education. There are people protesting for the Labor movement, the Environmental movement, the Women's movement, etc. Marchers have been complaining about everything from pay for public employees to expensive housing to the excesses of capitalism. It's unfortunate the minority who use violent means to show their displeasure make it so much more difficult for those who wish to peacefully exercise their right to protest....See MoreAutumn Is My Favorite Season, But I'm Going To Miss Summer.
Comments (9)Photo, my sister lives just outside of Little Rock, I'll probably be there for Thanksgiving, looking forward to it, I've never been, and I was thinking those pots were rhipsalis, they're quite impressive. Dave, I totally get the feelings of dread about fall in New England, I lived in Maine for 30 years. Autumn is so beautiful but we all know what's just around the corner.... my indoor plants always got me through though. I'd love to show off some of my outdoor plants but my porch is extremely tiny and all the plants are so squished together out there that it just looks like a mass of green, if I feel motivated I might separate out a few and take some pics. Love seeing what everybody else is doing!...See MoreI can’t wait to see Mel’s Heritage this year!
Comments (5)Beautiful photos, Lisa! I am celebrating Mel's comeback and sending sympathy for your garden frustrations. (Insert Munch's The Scream.) Our roses are like children exposed to the perils of the world. I hover a lot. Helicopter parent of horticulture. I would dearly love to find a spot for this Barden beauty. After reading your story and Jeri's, I feel I need it even more. I like survivors! I have 3 ramblers on my possibilities list, Ghislaine, Pink Ghislaine and Mel's Heritage. Mel is at the top. But where to put him? Maybe I can start a roof garden. Ha, ha. Carol...See MoreLynn-in-TX-Z8b- Austin Area/Hill Country
