Mad Diary of Zone Busting in Zone 3 ...The End is a Long Way Away
Comments (7)Oh my. What is a passionate rose lover like you doing in that glacial hell hole? Reading about your endeavors has exhausted me and I haven't even lifted a shovel. I admire your grit and determination, but would love to see you rewarded with thousands of blooms on your rose bushes for all your hard work. I bet they could use engineers in zones 7 to 10!...See MoreIts budding!
Comments (7)My D. ovata is blooming, too. It's my favorite of all the Dischidias for it's patterned leaves. The common name is appropriately "Watermelon Dischidia." There are a few clones of it with leaves ranging from small to large, some very succulent others quite a bit less so. Is yours an Exotic Angel plant?

Comments (32)The botanic garden did test the water. I think they are more up on this topic than I am ever likely to be. We use the same water, and I am within walking distance. I know not to use this fertilizer again in my conditions. Next year, it is back to diluted fish emulsion, or nothing, as usual. And we will see how the roses look. Sorry, no place for olive trees (and I don't want the mess), and grapevines are out because I have dogs (grapes are toxic to dogs, depending on the dog as to how much). But I did plant alfalfa within the last several years to see how it would do (fields growing alfalfa frequently supplement with boron). The alfalfa grows well here with zero supplementation. The wild creatures eat it like crazy however....See MoreI admit it, I lied
Comments (10)I am so glad your pants are a blaze! These pictures are of particular interest to me. All of yours are, as we live so close, but these are really special. Annie Laurie McDowell is my very most wanted rose. Had I known she would become so hard to come by, I would have purchased her when I had the opportunity. Someday...... I'm glad yours is finally showing some growth. It is such a beauty. I enjoy keeping track of your Aloha. As I have mentioned, I am growing her sport, "Lady Ashe". Mine was very unhappy for a while. (Planted late this May, band size, full sun) She is finally looking better, after some extra care and a hideous sun shelter. Of course you know why I love seeing or hearing anything about your Wild Edrics. The color is wonderful! I'm very excited by your gracious offer, and can hardly wait until fall. I've begun giving my irises a bit of water when I can, in hopes of rebloom like yours. I can only hope that I purchased rebloomers. Knowing myself, I'm sure most of them are. Your Carding Mill looks much better than mine. Mine IS grafted, but the park crew sprayed it with roundup nearly two years ago, and it has never fully recovered. THIS may be a spot for La France. Yes, I have been lured in:) I like everything about La France, and somehow always thought LF would be larger. I could handle this size. Our rose tastes are so similar, that if it's in your top 5, I could pretty much buy it sight unseen and know I'd love it. Great pictures, You really still have lots going on. Oh yes, The Faun. I like mine as a small ground cover rose. It seems to do very well in the heat with only once or twice a week deep watering. As you can see, I'm a big copycat! I've learned so much from you.
