Anyone ordered from Lilies from the Valley?
Comments (3)I just noticed your posting;I have ordered from this company last year and while everything turned out all right in the end it was a bit of an ordeal.The excuses were many and various and some of them truly outstanding in their complexity.I ordered n early summer 2007 and received the shipment in early fall. It is a good thing that I had good blood pressure medication as toward the last if anyone mentioned my lily order a red haze drifted in front of my eyes.However, by way of apology for all the problems, she sent me a bonus package that had me scrambling madly to find room for them all. As it was some of my friends departed with labeled bags of bulbs and the last several dozen were planted in pots and sunk in the garden.Everything appears to be healthy, albeit a little light budwise. That is to be expected, given the origin of the bulbs.Just persevere is all I can say......I think that I posted you in the spring about lily bulblets....my computer had a meltdown so I have no records left.If you are the person, the martagons appear to be hansonii.Good luck with the order. newine...See MoreAm I too far from Iowa to order from SSE?
Comments (3)The shipping of live plants is a pretty mature industry. I wouldn't worry about a couple of days in the dark, or any tossing around. Assuming SSE folows typical industry standards the plants are packed pretty well. I've ordered live plants from as far away as Oregon and recieved them with no problems. I would specify a later delivery than now, though. My concern would be freezing temps in the 3-4 days the plants would take to reach you....See MoreMy Recent Antique Rose Mail Order From Rose Petals Nursery
Comments (47)Kentucky - I have been trying to figure out how to make some raised beds- or raised pots for the front yard landscaping. I don't want the look of basic garden vegetable beds for around the front of the house though. I thought maybe I could dig 2 ft hole and put a 2 ft raised planter on top of it, that night work. I iam also thinking about making very big planters (they are ridiculously expensive to buy. I am not sure about the aestetic for my front landscaping, but after considering many materials and my craftsmanship capabilities I have a plan. I will just have to try it and see how it looks. It could sit above ground, part in ground or in ground. My design is 2"x2" wood frame cube (or taller) dark cedar stained (ECO friendly and plant safe). Side and bottom panels of 1" hardware cloth. Inner lining of natural burlap. It would sit on 8" concrete blocks (in ground) with the hole side up foradditional drainage. Inside bottom filled with river rocks then another lining of burlap to contain the soil and the plant and finally mulch on top, of course. It would have to be big enough to allow 3'x3' space for the roots to grow in the soil area. Again, the aestetic is the probelm (aside form all the hard work and digging). I think it wold look descent but odd. To build a retaining wall for the space under the front window of the house would not look right eiterh at the height I need it to be. I think the real solution is to pay for a backhoe to come in here and excavate the clay and then have new soil put in - way too expensive for me right now. I do have one narrow strip on the west side of the front yard that I am lining with concrete blocks to build up that soil area. I plan on very tall trellises lining that hill (all my land is hilly) and covering them with rose and jasmine vines as a privacy fence. The probelm is the area is part shade - never sunny and that is not goo for any of the plants I like. I bought the Charles Darrow Hybrid Musk for that location as it is reported by others to grow and bloom very well in shade. I also have some varieties of Jasmine that might do in that spot. I am also thinking of Camelias and Sky Pencil Holly. My Hollies are about 1ft tall now. It will be years before they grow big enough....See MoreA first: kordes.us has rated this rose its MOST disease resistant
Comments (17)Agreed. As to the scoring, it really isn't anything new, it is just a lamer system since the combined health scores are used. While I would not be surprised if this were a copy writer's error (excellent, exceptional... Whatever...) it appears the 8 stars (combined scores for BS and mildew) earns the "exceptional" rating. There are a number of roses on the Kordes.us site that do not have *any* "rating" included, one or two of which might theoretically earn the "exceptional" assuming that references an 8-star BS + mildew rating. I definitely miss the NewFlora system, adapted from Kordes in Germany. I also note that some of NewFlora's offerings don't appear to be on the new Kordes.us site, so they may be reducing the number of offerings. That would be very unfortunate as the Kordes line brought a lot of very healthy roses into our market. Does anyone know if Chris, formerly of Newflora, is still involved with the evaluations and distribution of Kordes.us? Does she still frequent this forum?...See MoreRelated Professionals
