New Zealand, New Day or New Year?
Comments (17)I am a newbie so not much help, but I did grow New Day last year and LOVED it. It looks like it made it through the winter with some die back but I did not winter protect at all (with last year being my first year I just kind of wanted to see what would happen and what would survive, I do plan to winter protect this year) Here are two New Day blooms in a bouquet with Double Delight, Headliner, and a few other soft pinks (probably Bewitched) and Lady X. If New Day had not made it through the winter I would definitely be replacing it because of the few yellows I planted last year this one was the prettiest with beautifully shaped blooms. I am no help with New Zealand, just looked it up on hmf because of all of the praise in this post, it does look like a nice soft baby pink and I would love to add it at some point. You'll have to keep us posted how it turns out if you decide on that one. New Year has always looked pretty to me on hmf, I bought one last year but it was mislabeled. I just bought one this year so hopefully I can give it a go. Never thought I would enjoy those oranges as much as I did last year since I'm a soft colors fan, but I really wanted to give New Year a go and couldn't pass it up when I saw it last week in one of those bagged pots. We'll see. Thanks for your suggestion to not dig up stuff so early in that other post about SPing. I had no idea that some could show life as last as June, and that if it did come back I could replant deeper. I thought it was done when that bud union went through one of our winters above ground! Fortunately I only pulled out a few that showed no life but the rest I'm iffy on I will leave in and let spring work its magic....See MoreNEW: New 2011 New Years Day Fresh Seed Swap

Comments (32)Angelaid, I love potato pancakes but I would say that is is my favourite version. There is no secret to making these pancakes. I've made them with mashed potatoes that I made specifically for making these pancakes and I've also made extra mashed potatoes for dinner and saved the leftovers for these pancakes. When I make them with the leftover mashed potatoes there is also butter in the mix. This is not a stiff or thick batter. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop up the batter. Mere Blanc's Potato Pancakes From:www.thedailyspud.com with very minor changes. 2 small baking potatoes 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup All-Purpose flour 2 eggs, separated 1-1/2 tablespoons heavy cream Pinch of salt Pepper Fresh chives (or green onions) Butter for frying Cook potatoes until tender Mash with a little milk. Let potatoes cool before adding the remaining milk, cream, flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and chives. Beat Egg Whites until stiff. Fold into potato mixture. Do not over mix. This is a light but thick batter. Heat a griddle or skillet. ( I used a rectangle electric frying pan) . Brush with butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup drop batter on to griddle. Cook until pancakes are brown and then flip. Serve with sour cream. Here is a link that might be useful: Potato Pancakes...See MoreFlamenco queen unfurls on New Year’s Day!
Comments (9)I consider "Flamenco Queen" a supreme accomplishment in modern Hippeastrum breeding. Hello JL, you will probably not appreciate and you will appreciate my Statement, that your flower above is far from showing up what this hybrid has to offer. It will only reveal this in the following Season, when the freshly potted bulb has been settled in. The floral segments will be much broader and more frilly, and the floret just opening can be shaped like a ball since the Segments are overlapping. I have one right now in Bloom. The net length of the scape is, go figure, 82 cm. There is Little left to improve in the shape of the Bloom. The depth of the Color is astounding, and I do not know of any TETraploid Hippeastrum = "typical DUTCH hybrid" AS densely spotted - and, in the DIPloid cohort, only "Exotic Star" and the species H.pardinum are a match in this respect. My Vision is a densely spotted Hippeastrum of the same stars-and-stripes type, but with a White midrib which is extended as in "Ambiance" or "Gilmar" Btw. I am yet to see any "Flamenco Queen" offered as cut flower. But I have seen literally 1000s of "ShowMaster" - their buds, the outside of the Segments that is, as densely spotted, and efficiently mimicking "Flamenco Queen" at this stage, I presume that the absence of Flamenco Queen on the flower-market is due to it conspicuously thinner scape which appears more likely to collapse. The scapes of "ShowMaster" on the other Hand are conspicuosly strong, and I have grown seed pods on them as cut flowers more than once....See More- 6 years ago
