Will Unique Violet Bloom From A Leaf ???
Comments (3)Floridabear - you never know until you try - and if you put leaves and grow starters until they bloom - you will know for sure - and you can get your "small fortune" back. In my experience the sport with time gravitates to only one of the types of the flowers . Right now if you get the leaf from under the pink flowering bloomstalk - you get a pink starter and from under the blue flowers - blue babies. But again - may be you got lucky and acquired an unique "harlequin" stable plant. I wouldn't sell leaves, you are risking a bunch of very unhappy buyers. So - start putting leaves. I am not sure that if you treat it as a chimera, means top the crown and wait for the suckers - it will help. Suckers grow from buds - and depending what side of the plant the bud comes from - that will be the color of the baby. I am thinking that if you would cut the crown off - you would see the section of the stump having the different color - it's where the blues are coming. Like wedge of the blueberry pie sitting in the cherry pie. The rerooted crown would be blooming the same, but the suckers from the stump - not. Good luck and enjoy your special plant Irina...See MoreFirst Daylily Bloom; First Clematis Bloom
Comments (12)Judy, you know full well that you are among fellow addicts when it comes to buying plants. And I so love the English roses...just be sure to give them plenty of room. They will need it. Vel, it is a record for me, that is for sure. It was one I got in the fall from Bill Maryott, but no way was able to resist taking pictures of those three together. Thanks Cindy, all of my early clematis are covered in buds. They are hapopy with the strange weather. Rebecca is a true red in my garden...same color as my monitor, and the blooms are large. It is close to my favorite...then I see another one and oh I love that one. You know how it is. Thany you Linda. As I've already said, I love Rebecca! kay...See MoreSome first blooms ever--and other first blooms of the season
Comments (4)Here's a fairly large Double Knock Out in the front yard--in the divider between my property and the neighbor's. Haven't had time to anything with it yet this year, so its looking a bit wild and woolley--and maybe lop-sided. I'll try to get some pruning done before the season is over. : ) Light blue irises came with the property when I bought my house thirty something years ago--don't know their name, but they bloom forever (for an iris). Another iris--name unknown. Sure is lovely. Here's a terrific fully packed white peony called Festiva Maxima--love that blood-red like marking in the middle of the blooms. I read somewhere once that this old classic is a good choice for more southerly gardeners, but I don't remember why. I have 4 of them. BIG blooms. Its getting so exciting now that things are nearly ready to bloom--can't believe the buds all over the yard--have never seen so many. Oddly, however, my hybrid teas are not taking over the show like they usually do. I thought with the mild winter we had, they would do terrifically well, but it seems the shrubs and floribundas are the ones doing best. But maybe that will all change in the next few weeks. This is about 3 weeks early for my roses--any of them--to be blooming. Kate...See MoreFirst plant from a leaf!!!
Comments (8)It is exiting to get a first plant. Just a beginning to go to the problem "I don't have a space for one more plant!" :-) For now you have a lot of space around your plant. What is the black grid you use?...See MoreBaraYoukai
