Comments (7)I'm no expert, but I know of two TX native passionvines with small yellow flowers, Passiflora affinis in the Hill Country and P. lutea in about the eastern 1/3 of TX. I'm afraid I don't know their characteristics well enough to tell you how to distinguish them. Maybe the PLANTS National Database could help you key your species out? I've been trying to obtain a P. lutea plant to add to my wildscape here in the DFW area, but have had no luck whatsoever either through nurseries or fellow gardeners as of yet, so if it turns out that is what you have and you later discover that you have a spare (where there's one I think there's usually more!), I'd be interested!

Comments (10)Lyra, I'm glad you had good results, but I agree, get it checked out and make sure you're really clear, it can't hurt. Sorry about the pizza, though... Sharon, she's been gone for 16 months and will only be home a few days before she leaves for grad school. Sigh. It won't be enough.....good luck with the "in laws". You're a great hostess, so lucky them! Snow, Al? It's sunny and 80 here, and we have had nearly no rain the entire month of April. It's supposed to rain this weekend, and I'm sure hoping, we have forest fire warnings and all kinds of stuff, and I was hoping to reseed part of the hayfield, but with no rain, that's kind of pointless. And my garden isn't even plowed yet, I've just been hoping for rain and I don't care plant anything for a couple of weeks yet, we're still getting hard freezes at night. ruthanna, you've sure been busy, but at leat you have lots of good food! Linda, happy birthday to Zoe. I suggest you buy her a pony. (grin) Mom2, scratch up those doxies for me... Alexa, I suppose it's going to be Lookin' At Lucky, although he has a crappy pole position. I like the filly, Devil May Care, or Smarty Jones' son, Backtalk, gotta love a 50-1 shot, LOL. The Derby just isn't the same with Dad gone, we spent the weeks before checking odds and bloodlines and jockeys, picked our favorites and place our "bet". Every year we bet $5 on the winner, and most years I beat him. (grin) Ah well, here it's housecleaning, I have to get the garden plowed, I have more fence to put up, and I'm in serious mode putting appetizers for that wedding in the freezer. I've only got a month left... Annie...See MoreRed stems, red leaves, no flowers yet...
Comments (6)Yes a Peony, possibly planted too deep, the buds/eyes should be no deeper than an inch below the ground. They like a full sun/part sun location and well drained soil. On the other hand some peonies are stubborn bloomers like my "Sam Donaldson" I've did everything right as far as I know in planting it but it refuses to bloom. Last fall I dug it, left it lying there on top of the ground all winter through wind and rain and even a couple of freezes hoping the shock might give it a jolt. As of yesterday mine looks like yours, lots of fresh new growth but didn't see any flower buds starting. I dug a shallow hole popped it back in with a smidgen of soil over the roots, we'll see what happens. If that didn't do the trick it's heading for the green bin.

Comments (4)My mom's plant hasn't gone dormant yet. It's been outside all winter (zone 10, Northern California, and an extremely mild winter at that). I actually just took a cutting today to see if I can root it inside under 24/7 lights. I really doubt it will work, and it's part of a discussion with a friend as to how easy the species is to root. This is one sold by Annie's as the species, not a named variety or hybrid. I have no idea whether it is in fact the species. Actually, I took a picture today--let me dig it up. It looks pretty pathetic, but it has green leaves......See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
