Every year with tender care
The gardner plants my seedling
She tends and plants and prunes
And of course there's lots of weeding
She fertilizes and mulches
And slowly I start growing
She watches patiently each day
As a new leaf begins unfolding
Slowly I curve round and round
As my vines start spreading
But unless she's ready to loose some sleep
She'll never see me blooming!
if you can guess what plant (without any more hints) I'll send you a free plant...I promise it won't be anything that smells bad like these daturas (unless that's what you want)
i love daturas. ill take any unwanted.
are you saying thats what it is/
Moonflower.
Doug
nope its not a datura but if you want them just dmail me your address...and I will send you one....though It might take me a few days to figure out how to package it!
and the picture is not the plant...but it is a hint
I guess I made that one too easy your right doug
Lucky guess! I don't have any growing and never have, but someone gave my wife some seeds earlier in the summer and they are still in the envelope!
Doug
I planted 1 (cause more than that is impossible to manage) because when I was little my grandad would wake me up at 2 in the morning to go see it...so I plant 1 every year in honor of him
so doug wins...any particular plant you had in mind or just suprise you?
Something for the shade?
Doug
so something outside for the shade...ok got it
has anyone ever gotten a plant where the tag said one thing but you knew it was something else...then go searching and can't find the plant under the tag name or what you thought it was?
I'm in the address exchange. Thanks for waking my brain up this morning!
Doug
Gosh Trina I see you are a newbie. Welcome to DG. You will make a lot of friends and gain a wealth of knowledge here.
Doug
and tricking nice ppl like you into taking some of these plants...for explanation of that see the first listing under the thread HELP!!!....and you'll understand I already over 100 houseplants before she brought me more...though I have a big house (5 teenagers) its not big enough for them all!
shoot I was too late!
:)
ahhh Lynnie what kinda plant do you want?
what do you have left? I can't have shade plants, I have no shade. None. At all.
most of it would have to be house plants for the winter but I have some prim rose and russain sage left still that are perennials
ooh I've always wanted russian sage! '
russain sage it is then...I want actual sage you eat or white sage from north dakota
So what is the difference between North Dakota sage and Russian sage?
White sage is what Native Americans use in thier rituals
and what I choose to use in mine when I can find it
Ooooh. Just regular sage doen't work?
it does for fish and chicken
lol
thought you'd find that funny
So if I use regular sage I grew, I might as well forget it?
NNNNOOOOOO!!!! Sage you grow yourself from your land is ALWAYS best...that's why I'd like some seeds from the white sage that grows wild in North Dakota...see anything you plant, grow and tend yourself is always best because it already has your energy running through it...your sage works best for you...but I would not have the same results if I used your sage to do the same thing
I was wondering where my energy was.....it's running through my yard...I have to go catch it!
ROFL
you crack me up Lynnie
