My keyboard is going wonky. It went out last night - letters and words were gibberish-, but magically healed itself right now. I have a new keyboard coming, but I like this one so will see if it self corrects. Anyway, while I can, here are my first set of daylilies:
Orchids and Gold - my treasured prima donna was the first to bloom:
FFO Abstract Orange was a double.
Dutch Yellow Truffle. I really like this double:
Another very special daylily. 8 1/2 inch blooms:
To God Be the Glory:
Muy Caliente first picture is 10 AM 2nd picture is after being in full sun at 95 degrees. Good show:
Muy caliente late afternoon:
Need to run........Maryl

Need help Identifying Two Bushes
Comments (6)The first one appears to have alternate leaves - a clue of some sort (for example, it is NOT a viburnum - they have opposite leaves). Tell him it won't be long before it leafs out and then you'll have a better chance of identifying it. Those asian azaleas look pretty bad; I guess they must be hardy there, but apparently they do suffer in the winter time. In warmer zones (I am zone 7) they keep most if not all of their leaves year round. See what they look like come late spring/early summer and then decide if you want to keep them....See MoreWalk Through my Garden
Comments (49)Well, thank you for your kind words. I am very blessed to have a lovely, lovely piece of property in a wonderful neighborhood with a perfect climate. We pinch ourselves every day that we are so fortunate. As far as intensively planting fruit trees - depends on the type of tree. With stone fruits, you can get away with one-hole planting if you're a good pruner. Not so much with citrus. They need their own "space", even if it's tight. If you're considering intensive planting with citrus, I would strongly recommend truly dwarfing rootstocks ('Flying Dragon' if you can find it, or at the least, Cuban Shaddock, which is what Four Winds puts most of their trees on). Boy, it is really hard to limit my trees to just the 5 favorites. Here is the list of what I really, really love in my yard, not in any top to bottom order: Seedless Kishu Mandarin Ponkan Mandarin California Honey Mandarin Page Mandarin (nothing beats it for juice) Moro Orange Tarocco Orange Wekiwa Tangelolo Valentine Pommelo hybrid Cocktail Pommelo hybrid Melogold/Oroblanco grapefruit hybrid Jan Boyce Avocado Reed Avocado Comice Pear Seckel Pear Any of my 3 different Fuji apples (Fuji, Red Fuji, Myra Fuji) Spice Zee Necatplum Artic Star Necatrine Royal Lee Cherry Any of my flat peento peaches (several varieties) Ronde de Bordeaux fig Panache fig Just to name a few :-) I would strongly urge you to join your local CRFG Chapter. Find out who is your real fruit tree guru in your chapter. See if you can find someone in the chapter that has done what you want to do. It really, really helps to have someone to pattern after, and have as a sounding board. You should have a fairly active chapter up in SF. In fact, there are some rather famous citrus hobbyist growers up in N. California that you might want to make sure you visit, if your CRFG chapter has any tours set up. You will find membership extremely helpful in what you're trying to accomplish. Patty S. Here is a link that might be useful: California Rare Fruit Growers...See MoreDrainage dilema
