Comments (10)I second that thought. I have been pleased with 90% of what I have gotten online. The only one I wouldn't want to buy online is if I wanted a large showpiece dissectum for the front lawn such as a mature Crimson Queen. I prefer low grafts in crimson queen and also a semi-dense spread and foliage which you may or may not get online. Seldom can you see a picture of the exact plant you are getting. I just got a A.J.acontitifolium, A.P's Garnet, Orange Dream, Germaine's Gyration, Mikawa Yatsubusa, Koto No Ito all online and I am impressed by most of them. You can get 1 year grafts from 10-15 bucks and 2 years for 20 or so. I would always advise people to get the biggest they can afford for a showpiece yet I love to watch the tiny ones develop and if you should lose one, no big loss. They go through so much change over the years....See MoreWinter Garden Photos (post yours...)
Comments (49)I am really enjoying the winter photos, and Sedum, this was a great idea for a thread. Claire, I like your pictures of that old Cedar and of the moon, and the moon photos on that link were very creative. PM2, the Adirondack chair & stool looks perfect for sitting back and enjoying the gardens. I need to get one or two of those. And the neighbor's blue tarp would have definitely detracted from the picture. ;) Sorry to hear about your Echinacea - those woodchucks are a real pain in the neck. Maybe you could try some wire caging to protect them (or shoot the Woodchucks hehe). Incidentally, Juniperus virginiana has a very high wildlife value for cover and food. Unfortunately, my 2 mature Cedars are both males - no berries! But I have a couple smaller ones and one of those could be a female. The Goldfinch picture was taken after our last snow storm. I like the way the snow piled up on the seedheads. Last fall I cut the stems off the Echinacea (left a few for birdies) and every so often tape a bunch of them to the the feeder pole for the Goldfinches. I have a little flock of 10 or 12 that show up to pick at the seedheads and eat the BOSS (black-oil sunflower seed). Here's another one that was taken a few days ago -...See MorePost your Spring pictures!
Comments (78)Such pretty tulips, Sandy! Isn't it sad to see them ending! Like Katob said, I wish my tulips would return and multiply as well as my daffodils. In spite of its quick fading, I truly appreciate the beauty and placement of your camassias, Katob! That is a lovely picture and blooms of the blue camassias. I gave some camassias a try this year and am not impressed. This will be my last purchase of camassias. They probably perform better in the northwest where they are native. Between the blue and white ones that i got last year, the white ones are definitely better for me than the blue ones....See MorePost up photos of your David Austin roses
