RED ROSES! Color Threads 2021
Comments (118)Sorry for going so OT: Thank you all for all the advice and encouragement. You are all my friends and I am very grateful for it. The baby boy is 5 weeks old now and his name is Michael Orlando. We have tried incline, gripe water, gas drops, tummy time, bicycle leg exercises, osteopathic manipulations every day for the past 2 weeks. We just discovered that a warm towel on his tummy helps the best. Diane I am lactose intolerant and definitely thought that could be it. We switched him to a lactose free formula for a few days and no improvement so we are back on breast milk. I have accepted we will just have to outgrow it hopefully soon. I’ll definitely take any advice from you all, having a new baby and hoping you are making all the right decisions for them is hard. I have found myself doing foolish things like texting the pediatrician to show her that his booty got a bit red despite my best efforts to change him every 2 hours and using preventive diaper rash cream at every change. I am hoping he will be a great garden helper in a few years. sorry I won’t get to do an individual post for everyone who so kindly posted but I can hear him crying...See MoreORANGES/APRICOTS: 2021 Color Threads
Comments (65)Carla, oohh la la ,Cherry Brandy What a beauty! Paly, your Jolie is a stunner. I have a baby Jolie and havent seen a bloom yet so seeing yours is pretty exciting. Chris, At Last is new and l got one flush and laughed because it took so long to bloom that I figured that that was how they got the name. I had decided that it should go but then in the late summer it bloomed and it was beautiful. The bush is small and nicely shaped and the blooms are small but beautiful. There is something about it that I really like....See MoreWHITE ROSES: 2021 Color Threads
Comments (149)@rosecanadian, Carol, Yes, I love tge lighter pinks, but there is something magical about Eden… she is huge now and I have bought another Eden for other side of bay window, too. Her blooms are English appearance, delicate. Heirloom Roses has the best video if oruning her-she has such captivating majestic blooms. But she bloomed only one flush this 2nd year and few blooms in summer. I hope she will bloom more next year… going to fertilize her a lot! I posted her on recent Eden thread… Many day she blooms more co tinual after a few years. Francis Meilland is a dream rose-bloomed 3 flushes first year. FM Blooms are very big-majestic!! The ohotos never show how big they really are-ir capture tgeir real beauty. They are both an ”eye popping ” surprise when they bloom! Check out thread ”Eden Climbing Rose blooming question,” for EDEN PHOTOS-ALL TYPES OF EDENS… My photos… hope others will post…. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/4013161/eden-climbing-rose-blooming-question...See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - October 2021
Comments (36)I sneak into the forums and see posts, but I’m not posting much right now. I’ve enjoyed so much seeing everybody’s Sept and Oct activity. Babs, so beautiful around you. I wish I spent more time outside, but everything is so busy now. I know it’s a busy time of life for me, but I’m pretty sure part of it is just cultivating the practice of taking a walk. I live in a beautiful area, and I should be taking advantage of that instead of rushing from one thing to the next. Is that Flax in your last post? He looks smaller than I remember, but so cute! DiggerDee, your daisies look better than mine this year. Not sure why my Montauk’s didn’t have as good a year. They are, for sure, a dependable perennial, though. Even in a bad year they look good. I grew Apricot Lemonade last year. It was beautiful, but I still don’t “design” well with Cosmos and the flowering on them was low. I really need more sun. I know they are supposed to do better in poor soil. Maybe I need to throw them in the trash bed next time! I have one white Rhodie that, for some reason, always puts out a few white blooms. It’s the standard huge large-leafed evergreen kind. I used to wonder why its spring flowering was low, and now I know it’s because the fall flowering uses up the buds. It’s so weird! This fall it had over 20 blooms on it. It’s a big plant, about 5’ tall and 8’ wide. Based on your roses/hydrangea re-blooming, maybe this is the “year of two summers”! My friend’s hydrangeas has new pristine blooms, too, like brdrl and PM. I even had new blooms on a daylily (below). My callicarpa is blooming, too, and I’m with you on those beautiful berries. That has got to be the MOST beautiful Dahlia I have ever seen. What a beauty! Just stunning. You have such beauty in your garden! PM, that dog is THE CUTEST! What a face! She sounds like she loved being with you and had fun. Reading about her antics made me smile! Per the new hydrangeas mentioned above, you have LOTS of new gorgeous blooms. Isn’t is weird?! This has been a year for beautiful mushrooms in the yard. They were there in all shapes and colors. The Indian Pipe/Ghost Plant was happy, too. RTHawk, I had four Japanese Anemone’s (Honorine Jobert and another kind, Swan something, I think) and none survived. One might be trying to survive with a few leaves, but I’m not sure why. For others they are so dependable. Jealous of yours! Aren’t Geraniums wonderful? Yours looks great. What fantastic sunsets! We live in a beautiful world. My Alma Potschke had great color, but floppy. I even pruned in spring. Callicarpa with Amsonia hubrichtii. The hope was for the yellow Amsonia to contrast with the berries, but I have not had a fall where the Amsonia got very yellow. I think we don't get cold enough before the first freeze happens. A new daylily blooms, one of a few! Vision LIght Pink Geranium still blooms. I really like this Geranium! Raydon's Favorite Aster with Sheffield Pink mums. There is a pink phlox, either Glamour Girl or Coral something-or-other. This one particular plants bloomed really late, and it was beside other phlox that bloomed normally. Unusual. Lastly, some sunsets:...See Morerosecanadian
