2020 letter.....M’s
Comments (17)GardenHo, good to see you back! I hope you're feeling better every day. At least you got it over with before gardening season. Last year I got knocked down for two weeks with a bad cold.... in MAY! I was so mad at the timing. So many pretty grasses. I can't bring myself to plant any because I battle so many grassy weeds, but I like seeing how pretty those big clumps can look, especially when they flower. peren.all, I'm so taken with that photo of your Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet'. The lighting with the boulder, the trees, and all the pretty flowering plants. Beautiful! Myosotis sylvatica (Forget-me-Not) Muscari latifolia Muscari 'Valerie Finnis' - really is powder blue Monarda 'Jacob Cline' Hummers love these! Monarda 'Grape Gumball' Monarda 'Pink Lace' ....with a hummingbird moth Monarda 'Raspberry Ice'...See MoreMore 2020 Intros and website
Comments (18)All four are spectacular but my eyes keep going back to numbers 2 and 4 and congrats on your registrations . You have some really pretty futures too ! I wonder if your cats realize their notoriety now ? LoL ! little beauties . I also wonder if they know how lucky they are to have stumbled on to someone who cares as much as you do for them. Thanks for the heads up about the naming . I had not heard that names are now limited to 15 letters . That sure eliminates lots of names I have written down to use if I ever decide it is worth jumping through all the hoops to register a daylily.. Curiousity question Shive if I may , how much does it cost to register a daylily these days ? I heard it went from the original $6 in the early 2000's to $20 a while ago ......so curious to know what it is now . Edited to note: Just went on the AHS website and downloaded the updated pdf for registering a daylily. Looks like they need to update their update. Says cost is still $20 to register a daylily however in their pdf it reads " 7. A registered name may have no more than thirty (30) characters, including letters, numbers and permitted punctuation marks (excluding spaces). (ICNCP 2016, Article 21.13) A cultivar name may not be established if its name consists solely of a single letter or solely of Arabic or Roman numerals or a single letter or numerals in combination with a punctuation mark.

Comments (10)I caught on relatively quickly and have succeed so, Peren.all. The only spring bulbs I've needed to fight, for years, in several gardens (all the bulbs were planted at the same time) are Chionodoxa and Puschkinia. Of course, different gardeners have different tastes, but personally I like mixed herbaceous perennial beds which appear to be neat and tidy. Some garden-loving non-gardeners also feel the same way. On one past occasion, I sounded one of my long-term customers out about the Chionodoxa and Puschkinia I'd planted, in ignorance, in her garden. I was delighted to learn that she felt the same way as me and, by now, have just about eliminated these particular spring bulbs from there as well!...See More2020 the letters P & Q
Comments (68)Thanks, peren.all! That's a nice way of saying I'm a hopeless plant collector! ;-) I only got one bloom on my Bartzella last year, but I am hopeful it will continue to get better each year. I love orange, too, but only have one spot in the garden where it really fits in, especially in spring, when nearly everything is pastel. I have found Mystica much hardier and more vigorous than Penstemon 'Red Rocks' but those are the only two varieties I have tried. I just love how the bees climb right into the flowers until only their wiggly fuzzy rear ends are sticking out, honestly. I adore Blue Moon. It may be my favorite perennial - if it would just bloom a bit longer! I have huge clumps all over from the one I started with a few years ago. The Pieris is new, but then again, so is pretty much everything in my garden! The puschkinia was new last year, and I am rather hoping it is aggressive, since I have a huge woodland garden to fill and a small budget to do it! I suspect my squirrels will keep it in check though, as I keep catching them digging up the bulbs. Not eating them, mind. Just digging them up and leaving them to get frozen and mushy overnight. I admit... I have been "cheating" on this alphabet thing by sorting my garden spreadsheet alphabetically. Makes it easier to search once I remember I have something. Thanks for continuing to start threads. (Although GardenHo, I hope we see you back soon!)...See Moreperen.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada
