Lots of pretty blooms today There are a lot of buds on that Clown Parade. It may surprise you. And Mico is a great one too with lots of blooms...not all together, but lots of blooms. I really like Mr. Butters and that red one looks good with it. Nice post!

Kay, that red one behind Mr. Butters is Deliverer, the clump that the deer munched most of the buds off. I think they left two scapes out of twelve.

Mangos begining to blooms in SoCal

Zands - and that be would be cool if i had the Carabao, Phillipine SUPER mango, but mine look smaller don't you think? Not as elongated as in your picture... Ashley - maybe I'll call it Wilddog - my new mango hybrid! Anyone have contact info for the Federal Patent office ! (lol). But do let me know, with comments and pictures, how your Manila looks as it fruits - I'm super curious to see your results - maybe this summer???? Mango K - Manila is the ONLY mango Lowes/HD offers at their stores here in So Cal, so there's no chance for a mislabeling unless it happened at LaVerne's before it was shipped, cuz you can special order other varietals from them (but through Lowes), which I did (I think a Glenn and something else) but they were just crappy sticks so I got my money back.....but yeah anything's possible - I suppose I could look at the other varieties LaVerne offers (like 7-8 others) and go to the PIN viewer and see maybe if one of those mangos comes up looking close to mine.....hmmmm..... Oh...and thanks Harry for the steady faith in the Edwards Mango, which I just spent $160 on to get a big tree and plant. As you say the consensus is it is a fabulous tasting mango......can't wait for one this year....oh, just can't wait...... MangoDogDroolingInTheDesert

Stage 2 of the Season Begins

Maryl, Rose Corsage is several years old and does need moving from that jungle area but she just keeps on blooming every year, trying to hang in with the big guys behind her. In that spot it literally is every man for himself. Too thick, need dividing. Nancy, that edge on God's Paintbrush is very prominent and it is more purple. The color of Vanishing Mist is almost spot on and it looks like the same color as GP which is darker. So light, camera or most likely photographer did not do justice to GP. Julia and Brad, when yours are blooming, I will be sitting in front of screen admiring yours while mine are baking in the heat!! Thank goodness for growers in so many different zones. Can't wait to see yours! Sherry, Entwined has quickly become one of my favorites and this photo is exactly what it looks like. Colors are all correct as shown but this lily is so much more spectacular in real time. I look forward to its blooms every year. Kate

When does your Raydon’s Favorite aster begin blooming?
Q
Comments (0)
I pruned mine earlier in the season. It is still barely starting with just a few opened flowers, but I had one open flower 2-3 weeks ago. I’d like to know if I pruned too late and delayed flowering, or if it’s flowering in its normal time. I don’t have any pictures from the past to help me gauge it. I would really love for them to bloom earlier! If they are blooming at their normal time I think I need to find something for the garden to bridge the August -October gap.

That first year anniversary is wonderful and I look forward to many many more from you. You need to be well and fit to keep me posted on what new beauties are in your garden. I'm Gonna Love You Through It is among those beauties. That 3 bloom shot is gorgeous..........Lavender Stardust is always a winner and maybe one of these days I'll manage to find room for it........Hey, Nancy. You are right. No more Read Me in this post AND we are now back to last comment at the bottom of the page. If they fix the search feature for Mantis (and the rest of us), will that mean we have new people in control that care about gardening on a gardening forum?.............Maryl

Lots of them draw my attention. Of course I always appreciate the color yellow, but that dark purple, Caribbean Dark Victory is such a deep color. Does the color/substance hold in your heat?........Maryl

Maryl, yes the purple does hold up but with an asterisk! It is in partial shade getting no direct sun after noon! So it is a cheater purple!

Your picture of Clown Parade shows the colors I usually get. I always want mine to look more like Kay's rose pink photos of it. That one always has a good number of buds here. My white seedling is looking pretty in your garden. It seems to grow larger flowers in your garden. Mister Butters looks like a cheerful yellow.
