Hi everyone,
It is kind of crazy out there in the world right now. I figured I would post a few pictures of roses that are on my phone. Some are mine, and others are in gardens or the wild.
Above: Gloire de Dijon (the blooms keep one's eyes from dwelling on those spots...)
Reve d'Or
Mutabilis in a public park
A little bouquet of Marechal Niel
Bees in Rosa palustris, at the Roseraie de l'Hay
Wild Nootka roses growing in a park
Anyone else feel like sharing some old pictures to brighten our collective spirits? :)

Plants & Misc that start with 'E' 2008 Photos
Comments (3)Yes, Sharon, everyone else seems to be busy this year. Hopefully they will contribute yet. I love looking at pictures others post, whether it is one or ten pictures. So, here is my E's..... E is for Estevan. I drove out to Estevan, Saskatchewan and spoke at the local garden club, on perennials in June 2008. I showed a slide presentation of an assortment of perennials I grow in my yard and then also brought along perennials I had divided out of my yard that were labeled, priced and available to purchase by those in attendance. Since there is no local nursery in Estevan to buy perennials at, just Canadian Tire and Walmart, the selection of perennials I brought along went over extremely well. I really enjoyed that trip. E is for Empty. First is a picture of my old plywood and painted cupboards, empty of everything, and awaiting removal from the kitchen. Next are the Empty new cupboards. Huge and wonderful!!! We moved the fridge to be in the center of where the old cupboards were and made the new cupboards the same depth as the fridge. The corner cupboard now holds all the large tupperware. E is for Edge of garden. This picture was taken in spring 2008. I landscaped this area fully in the fall of 2008. I placed a daylily between each tulip, mulched with flax and in the background beside the platform I planted irises, semps, an ITOH peony, more daylilies and other various perennials. E is for Entrance. This is the entrance to our sunroom. The original old door (that was on the small porch that we ripped apart and replaced with a sunroom) will be eventually replaced with patio doors of some sort as you can see on the outline on the sunroom. E is for Eating....This squirrel was in the oak trees just outside our sunroom one day. He was very upset that I was by the window inside taking pictures of him eating. But, I got some good pictures of him, including one I am currantly using as my screensaver. E is for Ewes awaiting their turn to be sheared at our neighbors in May. Emerald Lace Plectranthus is a new purchase last summer for my plectranthus collection. I found it at Superstore, of all places. Epimedium (Bishops Hat) is so dainty. Etoile Violet Clematis is climbing on an old wicker headboard in the flowerbeds. I found the wicker a few summers ago at my daughter's apartment block leaning against the garbage container. After a week of it still being there I decided it looked better in my yard with clematis climbing on it. Eenie Weenie Daylily has a 1.75" golden yellow flower and only gets about 10" high. It is a great plant for a perennial border along with You Angel You Daylily. E is for Edge. Here is the Edge of a daylily, Light Years Away. Notice the gold Edge on it. Entrapment Daylily is just a new purchase last summer... Exotic Candy Daylily is also new last summer... El Nino Hosta has thick bluish green leaves with a white edge... Elegans Hosta is planted at the base of a maple tree which apparently is not a great spot for it according to the discussions on the Hosta Forum about maple trees and hostas. Next summer I plan on watering it faithfully and we will see how large it will get then. Here is the Elegans Hostas flower... Emerald Tiara Hosta is looking good already. It is making a nice little display in the flowerbed. Erromena Hosta is a bonus hosta that I got from Floral and Hardy in 2007 with my order of daylilies. Now for a few irises... Elfin Magic is a white MDB iris. Extra Iris, MDB, is so very bright and cheery. I love it! I know that you posted a picture of it Sharon, but I had to show my pictures too since it is one of my favorite irises. Top view... Front view of Extra Iris. Eyes For You Iris was an iris I received by mistake on an iris order. It is a burgundy colored SDB. I think it would look very nice next to an iris, such as Forever Violet. Now, lilies... I only have one lily that is a new one to bloom this year...Echo lily is a very dainty lily. Erubescens Orostachys I just bought this past summer. I wonder how it will like our cold winters here... Emily Carr Rose is only two years old. This flower was blooming on the plant for a long long time. I have one sedum that starts with E...Ewersii Sedum... Sempervivums will change color throughout the year. There are a few E Sempervivums here in the yard. Edge of Night Semp in the fall of 2007. Same one, Edge of Night, in the spring of 2008. This picture is a bit fuzzy, so I will retake it this spring. notice though the difference the time of year makes to this sempervivum. Eureka Sempervivums flower... I missed taking a picture of the semp itself. hmmmm...next year. El Cid Tulip is a very colorful tulip. No two flowers are the same. Hope you all enjoyed the pictures. Off to getting my F's ready to post. Brenda...See MoreSome Misc. Plant Photos....
Comments (23)Jardinera-mine is in full sun, all day, in dry raised soil. I don't know why it thrives with so little water. It is in the middle of a mound where I planted about 5 Bald Cypress trees and is just happy where it is. I started it in a pot on the patio, but it really took off when I threw it out back. This spring it was sprawling and gangly so I did a harsh trimming on it and it came back full and blooming this summer....See MorePlants & Misc that start with 'M' 2008 Photos
Comments (2)Sharon, great pictures! Here are a few of my Ms. I will post the misc pictures and then plants. M is for Mulching my flowerbeds. I like to use flax shives. They are easy to work with, lightweight, look good and are an excellent barrier to weed seeds. Here is one of the new hosta beds that I planted up last summer/fall, mulched. This Mirror is at my cousinÂs place. It is made of old barn boards. Here are the muffins I make for my sons. Each are the size of 4 regular muffins. Moly Allium I have had for years and years. Each year it blooms better than the year before. I wasnÂt sure where I should put these next two daylilies in our Far North alphabet. So, I decided that since they are Montfort daylilies without names from their own crosses at Montfort, I would put them into the MÂs. So, here is 02-39 Montfort daylily. I love the way the petals curl back on itself. Here is the second no name daylily that I bought from Montfort...99-C1. Mae Graham Daylily Malaysian Monarch Daylily Maria Tillsbury Daylily Maymont Double Daylily Milk Chocolate Daylily Mini Pearl Daylily Musical Interlude Daylily Michailovskyi Fritillaria has a much smaller flower than I expected. But, it is really different, the deer did not eat it and it bloomed for a long long time. Mayan Moon Hosta before the deer ate it. Maui Moonlight Iris, IB Maya Mint Iris, MDB Ming Iris, IB Madame Lily Mahogany Bells martagon Lily Mango Lily Merry Spring Lily Music Art Lily Margery Fish Lungwort Monkshood. This is one I got at a garage sale years and years ago. Mona Lavender Plectranthus I bring into the house and place into the sunroom each fall. It is just starting to put out new growth now. I will probably take a few cuttings off it in the next few weeks. Moss Rose Portulaca is another annual that I bring in the sunroom for the winter. Miss Willmott Potentilla Monarch's Velvet Potentilla was new in 2007 and somehow I missed taking a picture of its flowers. I have just over half a dozen kinds of the Morden series of roses. Here is a couple pictures I took last summer... I love the little rose buds on the Morden Blush Rose. Morden Ruby Rose is planted near the walkway between the house and greenhouse, where I walk all the time. I love it there. I have a Blue Boy clematis planted next to it and they look great together. Magnificum Sempervivum Magnificum sempervivumÂs flowers with dew on them. Merkur Sempervivum Monte Beau Tulip Now on to the NÂs....

Comments (23)Dealing in any other way than credit card, paypal and the like is prohibitively expensive unless we are talking about very large orders. To give an example, my bank is asking for a euro 50 fee for the transfer of amounts up to 500 euros or so...Three roses which is a reasonable amount will thus cost at the minimum 45+15+50 euros... I have had experience exchanging emails in english with Le Roseraie du Desert and they have been very helpful and easy to talk to (they are Americans if I understand correctly). They accept paypal I gather. I was about to order from them when I needed to be hospitalized last year. Last time I checked Bierkreek the only payment method available was bank transfer or cash which prohibited me from dealing with them. I don't know if this has changed but I doubt it. Additionally you had to email them your request, and they would come back with availability and the shipping costs quote. Not very efficient I think. I've had very bad experience with a couple of german nurseries which never responded to my emails. For one of them I left a bad review in HMF and discovered I was not the only one with such a bad experience. What I like to do is go online to an english language site, put a few roses in my shopping basket, check out, pay with my credit card both the rose price and the shipping cost, receive a confirmation email and be done with it. Anything more complicated than this is a hassle. Contact with the nursery should only be needed if one needs to clarify something or resolve a problem, not for a business as usual order. If contact is needed I expect this to be conducted promptly by email and in english, not because I happen to speak the language but because it is the de facto lingua franca for international commerce. I don't expect to have to use a translator nor jump through the machine translation hoops. So if anybody has any recommendations for such nurseries not in the UK with a good selection of OGR's and the like and which will ship across the EU, they are welcome. PS. Bierkreek seem to be preparing a proper e-commerce site. When they have it ready I will be pleased to try it. PS2. The Lens nursery was mentioned. Below the link to their terms and conditions. Please note, on top of the payment method problem and uknown (and possibly very steep shipping costs judging from their costs for shipping to nearby places like the UK and Germany), their disclaimers about shipping and state of plants on arrival. This is what I call bad business practices and I would never buy from them. Lens nursery (Belgium) terms & conditions...See More
