Some more spring garden shots
Comments (13)Marg - Yes primroses do like part shade the best. They fry if they get too much sun. Mine come back every year after the winter is over. The leaves are visible and stay green throughout the winter season and when spring comes the leaves green up and a new growth of leaves come up through the middle. Most of mine only flower in spring but I do have a few that re-flower in Fall (my blue-purple one always does). They would be a perfect companion for hostas, in fact I actually have a few hostas in with 5 or 6 primroses in my back shade garden and they do very well there. I only know the name of one of the primroses in my pictures. The double pink one is called "Sue Jervis". I only know that as the people that lived here before left the tag. That white one you like and the red one are huge in size and look like they were part of the original plantings when the garden was first put in. I wish I knew the names of them so I could tell you but I'm pretty sure the red one is common. It's just a red single with a yellow centre and a white edging around the petals. I've seen a lot like this at many garden centres, even Walmart had them last summer. The white one is a double and I've never seen another one like it anywhere but I don't think it would be hard to get. I'd just ask for a double white primrose and this is the one you'll probably get. If you do decide to try them, I don't think you'll be disappointed! Jason...See MoreCan I share some more pretties,most are bush shots
Comments (19)Beth, Thank you for the nice comments.I hope your bagged rose is Tiffany.These blooms this year are huge and a nice scent too. I am loving Double Knockout.Taking photos of it and just forgot about my other Knockout and its covered in blooms. Les: Thank you. Yes this Knock out really stands out.The blooms are pretty big,too and just a firey red.Too bad it doesn't have a fragrance. Aprille, Thank you.George Burns has decided to grow this year.I have never gotten more then just a couple blooms on it at a time,but now it has about a dozen blooms and some buds, too. Bgrose>Thank you for the nice comments. Judy: Thanks, so far the deer have not been here. I mixed up my own stuff and sprinkled around all the bushes about 6 weeks ago,and so far its working great.I think I need to soon mix up another batch of it and sprinkle around again,before I go out one day and have no buds or blooms left,oh and no leaves either.I have used the Liquid Fence before and it worked ok, but its expensive,and the stuff I used last year was expensive too,and my own stuff I mixed up,turned out to be twice as much for half the price. Carla, thank you. Eric,Thank you for the comments.Hope you have blooms real soon and show us some pictures, too. Hoovb.Thank you. I am impressed with this Double Knockout too.The blooms are bigger then I expected.The worms I been fighting don't seem to like it as I haven't found any on it yet,while they eating up all the other roses. Beth, Thanks for looking and commenting. Krista, Thank you for the nice comment.I may try to get another Double Knockout as I am loving this rose.It gets your attention. Florene.Thank you, hope to be seeing some of your photos soon. Thanks every one. Jean...See MoreSome New Daylilies and Some Clumps for Tuesday
Comments (11)Sour Puss this year has eaten up most of my "film" it's been so pretty, but next to that is Pink Aloha. I adore this flower when she gets it right - and mostly she does. I call her a she because she does go her own way as you described.....Kindred Jewel is my WOW one of this group. I hope this makes it long term for you...........I saw Elizabeth Hewitt in the Blueridge line up and thought how pretty it was. See how colorfast it is if you get a chance.............Isn't it nice when people tell you how much they enjoy your garden. I just have a small display anymore, but people still will stop my DH if he's out in the yard and compliment him on it. He smiles and nods with smug satisfaction. Outside of tote that barge and lift that bale (much appreciated of course), he has zero to do with it. As we say down south "Bless his little heart" lol...............Maryl...See MoreSome First blooming lates ans some clumps

Not fair at all. kay...See Moreorganic_kitten
10 months agoThank you all for looking and commenting. Gypsy is a really good one. The blooms are large and seem prettier as the day goes. I am tickled with Blackberry Dragon. Kate's photos are what made me want it in the first place. yes, Mantis, Joe Burrow is doing very well for a first year, It is not nearly up to height, but I wouldn't expect that in a first year. especially with the challenges of this year, but some plants seem not to be affected at all. Kate, I have to thank Debra for Reap the Whirlwind. Pink Tarantula is blooming but very few scapes and shorter than usual.
