A Couple More Blooms Today
Comments (10)Julia - I'm glad to know Dearest Valentine is doing well in its new home. The leaves always stay deep green here. That's funny about the cicada looking for its dearest valentine. I haven't seen any cicadas here yet. and 17 years ago there were swarms of them. I don't know why they haven't emerged here. I have two websites now. When the Plantfans site didn't go live, I updated my old Plantstep site, and I sold a lot of plants from it in late winter and early Spring - more than I really wanted to since I had the knee pain. The Plantfans site went live in mid-April. It doesn't have as many cultivars listed as the Plantstep site.

Comments (8)Bob opted for this one as seedling queen. It's amazing since he had several oranges ones to choose from but he chose red. This is Rosie Cotton's Ribbons X Love All Serve All. This one is Lava Flow X Gary Lynn's Calliopsis. It is a third year seedling and will be getting a blue ribbon, which means it is a keeper. It has a good scape and the flower is large. This flower is rather nice, but I think there is a mistake on the parentage. The tag says Smoke Shadows X Geometric Wizard, but I don't see how it could be that. This is my favorite today among the patterned ones. This is Geometric Wizard X Time in a Bottle. This is its first flower ever. This is a large, very flat flower. It is Buddy's Betsy X Stoke the Fire. We planted some martagon lilies last year and we love them. That's all for me. Nancy...See MoreA Few More things today . . .
Comments (3)Compliments for your excellent photographs as well as the lovely roses! Here, still no rain. Local flora is holding up well in spite of the lack of water, but I fear my spring bulb order, planted when rain was forecast, is probably lost. Noticeable is the suffering caused by the relentless sun, in a season usually characterized by frequent rain and clouds. The daphne and sarcococca on the escarpment, the potted camellia, and the trio of palms in the yard, have yellowed foliage and a sad air. Usually, by the time the rains dry up, in May-June, the trees have leafed out and offer shade, but currently they're still bare and offer no protection. Temperatures are still mild so that's not the problem. About our offer to host you-cranian refugees, we didn't hear back. I hear that some refugees were housed locally, so I'm guessing our lack of the language and being in the country away from services told against us. If Italy takes more refugees, as would be right--I believe that currently there are 50,000-60,000 in the country, a drop in the bucket--we may yet hear from the authorities about our offer. One of the seasonal drainages toward the far end of the property still has water in it! Its clear shallow pools with water trickling through them are a blessed sight. I get down into the woods most days for a few hours to clear brush and cut up dead wood, and often feel how incredibly privileged I am to live here and have this land to take care of....See MoreA few more seedlings today
Comments (5)I like both sibs from Raggedy Man x Gay Activist. The first Sonoran Desert Rose pink is very attractive, and I like the edge on the second one. I would cross those two together. The little orange one is a cutie! Debra...See MoreMarilyn Sue McClintock
