Jasper, Alberta in May (Very Picture heavy!) Part 1
Comments (9)Don't we live on a magnificent planet?!! I can almost smell the pines and hear the water, it reminds me a good deal of the White Mtns. of NH, but on a much reduced scale. Breathtaking, 'bug. I was particularly taken by the colors in the shots with Mule deer and Big Horn sheep; that lovely soft, buff tinged with grey, hat will soon be replaced with Spring's fresh greens. Wish the pink ribbon was more visible, though......See MoreSugar bush in Alberta
Comments (27)Hotwings tatarian maple is definitely seedfull. Lady Slipper amur maple is definitely seedy. Ok. The seeds are the ornamental feature. Hardly counts. Hmm. Autumn Spire red maple is nominally seedless. It's normally grafted onto silver maple root stock to gain tolerance to alkali soils. The sugar maple that Jeffries distributes as "Lord Selkirk" is seed run. Eventually half of them should produce seed. Unity, and Inferno are grafted. Their catalog doesn't say if they are seedless or not. Sugar maples are mostly dioecious, but there are lots of exceptions, and reported cases when trees were male when young, and later had female flowers at the top. Maples in generally are complex, with trees that change sexes from year to year, start life as one sex, change to the other, have perfect flowers one year, and only male or only female the next year, or some of each in different parts of the tree. Talk about gender identity issues! USDA plants database says that minimum age for sugar maple seed is 30 years, reaching a peak 60 years later. I may have to wait for bit....See MoreA picture for canadian_rose (Carol)
Comments (11)Still raining. We might get floods here - but, fortunately for me, I'm on a hill. The grass is so squishy with rain. The rose leaves are getting rust spots. I've got mushrooms growing in the grass. The rain just doesn't stop. I've started hissing hate songs at the rain. Sigh. :) Carol...See MoreRose pictures from Alberta
Comments (0)Well, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons. The hail and requisite winds keep breaking branches off my roses...especially my Austins. So I brought in these Bishop Castle blooms. I don't usually bring flowers inside...but I'm glad I did. They smell so wonderful!! Notice the torn leaves from hail. All of my roses have leaves like that. First bloom of Portrait. My beautiful Berolina that I love so much!! Thank you to whoever recommended this rose. And I'm sorry that my memory sucks. :) The wonderful smelling Parade Day! Beverly Sceptr'd Isle Soeur Emmanuelle (first bloom opening) I love the colors. Bishop's Castle Tahitian Sunset (tall and narrow bush for me) Our new lamp. :) Thanks for looking! Carol...See MoreDiane Brakefield
