Now that sucks!! I bought 2 from Wayside, was leery but plunged in anyways. Both came bare root and very sturdy looking. Planted them and the white("Fragrant Wave') sprouted instantly. The dark one 'Burgundy Iceberg' didn't do a thing for almost 3 weeks.... now with all this rain they have both almost caught up to last years newbies.
I doubt it will be as dark as the picture, they never are but it lived so, I feel very lucky!!

Garden Photos of '09 ... #28
Pixie what a gorgeous color on that one!!!
I must have lucked out with J&P - I ordered a tad late so they are just leafing out now. But I was happy with the plants they sent... so far anyway.
love that color Pixie.. hope the photo is right!!
the advice Kassia gave me... check where the grafts are... make sure they are covered (mine were too high and that's why they didn't make it .. in my opinion).. and dig a $500.00 hole for a $25.00 plant
hope yours do better than mine Meredith
Love the larve Willi
Thanks one wish I am worried some of my new roses are too deep. I did some of them deeper than others. The grafted ones are deeper than the own roots. I am already worrying about them not making it through winter and it's only June. lol
Rainy day collage
thought i'd grab a pic of the delph's before the rain in case they get knocked down

this new lace top is looking good
new jm from mixed borders - atronineare or ribbonleaf - had to move out jm Okushimo planted here to a container that now is now up by the front door and hopefully none the worse for the transplant.

thx celeste - they are staked with about three rows of green garden wire as they grew this spring - although they grew a few ft bigger than the stakes
joanne i just looked at mr watson on mhn's web site a nice puckered yellow one and it can take some sun - right where roseann is and by the red majestic hlws - we could have a color match
Those Delphs do look great .... very nice setting
thx willie - you will be happy to know grown from seed
Thanks for the lovely photos, Bill. Everything looks so gorgeous.
Looking good Bill.
Looks great as always, love your new JM. How do you know which ones to buy? Or do you just buy them all!? lol : )
well meredith i have a long list of want to haves that i worked on last winter - this was on the list - they have another there that may need to be relocated as well:) Actually they have some real nice ukigumo's or floating cloud maples their, i already have one and almost came home with the second.
they also have the landscape container soil from Maine - i think that is fine for jm's

Black eyed susan
Noid asiatic lily
Flower on strawberry that's still in the pot.
These daylilies are very happy in a container.
Nice photos, folks---my delphs are pathetic---they just don't grow well for me. Meredith---after the ground freezes, pile manure onto the base of your roses--it keeps the ground from heaving, & feeds the plants. Jen, that lily is so pretty.
I think that lily crossed with another one because I totally don't remember it from last year.
Wow that is cool! I love surprises in the garden. I have some seedlings from my lilies I've been growing, can't wait to see what they look like.
Did I slept through summer? Why are my tiny Asters blooming?
Never have them before. I decided to order some different varieties to add to my fall flowering plants.
This one in particular is Aster Woods Pink. They were so tiny when I got them few weeks ago but now almost doubled in size and they were pinched. It's counterpart, the blue ones are not flowering but getting bushier.
Is it normal for Fall Asters to flower this time of year? I'm afraid they're going to stop flowering by the time they're suppose to flower.
Here's another one.
A great find from Lowe's!
Echinacea Coconut Lime.
That coconut lime is great! I don't know what's up with your asters... maybe they aren't what they are supposed to be? Although I have had that happen with hardy mums and they still bloomed in fall.
Wanted to share another pic.
