Comments (7)Re: the question about the Schick Hybrids in picture 629, I believe the varieties are (1) Anastasia (the white/pink), (2) Sasquatch (the orange), and (3) Edwardian Lady (the yellow/white/pink. All can be purchased from the Huntington, they have a great online catalog with pictures at www.huntington.org/BotanicalDiv/Schick/catalogintro.html, and if you're within driving distance during the week, their Curator of Desert Collections, John Trager, might be nice enough to let you pick them up in person (which got me a free entrance into the gardens there, absolutely beautiful). As to the dragon fruit cutting, I picked it up at a flower and garden show in April 2008. And yes, they grow very fast, especially when planted in ground. I'll see if I can find a picture of it earlier and post it....See MoreFlowers bloom in late summer
Comments (0)Flowers that bloom in late summer, as well as a few shrubs and trees that provide great autumn color can also add beauty to your garden through out the year if year round enjoyment is desired. Light-colored flowers, evening-scented plants, as well as garden lighting, can make your flower garden into a pleasant evening retreat after a long day at work....See MoreLate Summer Flowers

Comments (56)Roxana, yes I was...95% I’d say. It still pops up but much more manageable. I go around every couple of months in spring and summer to catch stragglers but it’s almost entirely gone from lawn and easy to pull if it pops up in the bed. it was creeping up from an adjoining ditch and I battled it unsuccessfully for 10 years! Oddly, it seems to only expand in one direction. So now I’ve cut it off from my yard the ditch is even doing better. It seems not to be able to expand backwards where it has already grown and maybe depleted soil. Just my unscientific observation. Lol It also doesn’t like lime so be diligent about liming your lawn as you try to get rid of it. Aerating the lawn annually also helps improve drainage. good luck!...See Morestupidlazydog CT zone 5b/6a
