IT'S JUST THE GYSPY IN MY SOUL

Smiley I think I have buttered popcorn.....just got them a month or so ago, only 1 bloomed this year.

dislike for the orange lillies? the one's I think they call ditch lillies? I like them.

Moon is right, daylillies are easy. I bought a 1/2 dead one at HD a few years ago. I've divided it twice so far. Stella D'Oro, the common one you see everywhere.I never knew there were so many till I went on the daylily forum. That's actually how I found DG, looking for pics of the daylillies she bought me.

Just my luck Moon.. visit was nice! she ate 3 meatballs and a pile of spaghetti. we watched "funny girl" on TCM. ate cake.

Have a good night! I'm outta here pretty soon too.

i don't know what the ones I don't like are called I. they are orange have funny looking petals that look like claws when they curl up and there's multiple blooms at the top...yuck I've seen them orange, orange with brown spots, yellow, and yellow with brownspots.....they could make them in my favorite shade of purple and I still wouldn't like that particular kind

Lynnie, nice to see you've recuperated. I'm interested to see what these daylillies do next year. Of course, that's how it is with anything outside. I think we got Moon's rain. It's pouring outside, has been on & off all day.

same here Julie only it's chilly

Trina, when we moved in this house the entire back yard was filled with them. DH thought he dug them all out, but a patch grew in the corner. I put rocks around it so they couldn't spread, now I like them. He dug some out & put them in a pot, it actually looked pretty striking by themselves.

But hey, that's how I feel about impatiens.

Gotta go, talk to you tomorrow!

edited to say I feel about impatiens the way you feel about ditch lillies.

I'll just be playing in the Plant Files adding more stuff to my want list...its probably a good thing I don't know too many names! But I'm picking outdoor plants now

Night Moon enjoy the peace

You have a good night too Trina.

Night All.

'Night!

Trina are you the only one left?

I think so

I'm back & forth....kids are still running around....I guess I'll give them another half hour...

well it is saturday.....I bet Dave had a date and Jim's wife is making him hide his pretty legs...lol

right, can't let those gams out in public, he'd start a riot ;)

too funny with the pic Moon.

all right everybody I am off here going to go take a nice long hot bath and enjoy the fact that I'm the only one home tonight!

g'night Trina!

Lynn, are you the only one here? What is this thing about the straw?

Lynn, I am getting really sleepy. I will find out more about this straw thing tomorrow.

You have a good evening.

'Night and have a sweet sleep.

Nice picture of your car radio Moon All have a restful night!

sorry...still chasing kids lol...I read somewhere that you shouldn't use mulch on irises, you should use straw. I usually get some straw for decorating for halloween at this time of year, anyway, and I noticed all the road crews using it everywhere, so I wondered how good it is, maybe I should use it. I was thinking about my knockout roses, too,although those seem pretty hardy and they're still blooming like crazy. I planted a lot of shrubs htis year, I want to see them in the spring lol

Waterfall, nothing can harm me at all,
my worries seem so very small,
with my waterfall.

I can see my rainbow calling me,
through the misty breeze,
of my waterfall.

Waterfall, don't ever change your ways.
Fall with me for a million days,
oh, my waterfall.

"Music is my Religion."

Jimi Hendrix

dave that looks like a nice place to sit for awhile!
morning everybody! Smiley are you sleeping in?
jj how much damage did you do at those flea markets?

sleep in? I guess I did, didn't I?

maybe that's why I got yucky iris borers this year, I had mulch on them. I put mulch everywhere, though.

most likely....
it's RAINING finally after weeks without rain...i thought I'd have to run around with the hose all day today.
(please excuse typos & lack of punctuation & no caps....on laptop half the keys are sticky)

SmileyJ, just keep the mulch a couple inches back from the crown and your irises should be okay.The borers love it when they can hide in the mulch. The problem here was too much rain coming down too fast..washed the mulch up around the crown and kept it too wet, so the bearded irises started to rot....yuk.

Good morning Lynnie...feeling any better today? hope so.

Hiya Dave....WaterFall.....May This Be Love??? One of my favorite quotes. Grin

Morning everybody I'll be in and out all day

Dave Beautiful pictures and lovely words,

The lyrics are so beautiful, I hope you don't mind if I add the whole thing here.
May This Be Love

Waterfall
Nothing can harm me at all
My worries seem so very small
With my waterfall
I can see
My rainbow calling me
Through the misty breeze
Of my waterfall
Some people say
Day-dreamings for all the, huh,
Lazy minded fools
With nothin else to do
So let them laugh, laugh at me
So just as long as I have you
To see me through
I have nothing to lose
long as I have you
Waterfall
Dont ever change your ways
Fall with me for a million days
Oh, my waterfall

Cool Venice. Few are familiar with Hendrix's "gentler" side....

How are ya today? The sun is shining outside today...maybe no rain today. If this holds for a couple days may get the grass cut...grin. Been outside treating Fire ant beds....they move into the flower beds seeking higher ground from the rain. Then, I stick my hand in one cuz they hid under the mulch...evil creatures.....

Off to kill more ants....makes me think of the Pink Panther song...

Dead ant, dead ant , dead ant, dead aaaa-nnnnnt! lol

LOL Moon...I got on and had 5 dmails this am...that's a record for me..but I will be getting some nice trades out of the deal! oh I can't wait it's like christmas!

Good Morning Again! Trina, I took a look at my lilacs. They both look... let's say... not nice. Don't want to send you a crappy plant.

Moon, I ended up digging up my irises and soaking in bleachy water, etc... and put them in a nice big pot for now. Ba-ad case of iris borers. Just yucky!
