I love the yellow ones. I think you get a yellow, that Insignia Gold is a yellow, Dee.
But the Salmon Perfection is a darkerpink. Would love one of those Chocolate

Me, neither.

You'll have to post a pic of your bog garden, when you get it to the point that you want to show it off...lol...How do you set up a bog garden? I have never had one.Did I ever show you guys a pic, of my pond that I had at our old house? Where my middle daughter lives now?
Dee
No, I haven't heard from Gordon. I knew it would take a while. I thought he might let us know how much postage to send, but maybe he is going to do it on the honor system...just let us send it after we get our package, plus the $2. I have it put back...so... It is soo exciting to be getting cutting from him.It will be like Christmas!..lol
Dee
This is the one I worked on today. I carried those rocks, I'm getting to old to be moving so many dog gone rocks.
But it came out pretty good.
Charleen
Hey, Dee , it looks pretty good, doesn't it.
I plan on putting a larger one down on the other end.
That one is a little round tub.
Charleen
Charleen, you did a great job! That is soo pretty! I love rocks, but they ARE heavy! Did you line the inside area with something, or is it just a naturally wet area?
Dee
I had the little pool and it had some of the CP in it, Imoved it there and took a rack and scratched the outline and dug it out. About 3'' deep.
set the little pool in it and started circeling it with rock. I put peat in the pool with the insect eating plants. It wasn't difficult til I started movng the rocks. No naturally wet til I got the garden hose , now it's wet ^_^
Charleen
Great job, Charleen..you did good girl. I have one of the small easy up pools that the top ring went bad on, and I am keeping it thinking that one of these days, I will get around to putting in a little water feature and use it for a liner.
Dee
Wonder where Elizabeth is tonight?
I can't remember, I'm sure she told us and we forgot.
Maybe she will come popping in,
Charleen
Now, Charleen...you know we never forget..lol
Dee
Yeah, Right. Like going back to the room we just left to remember what we were going after "in the first place"
I have done that so many times. I get aggravated when I forget.
Charleen
I know I walk in the other room to get something and have to just stand there and look around till I remember what I went after..lol...Ain't old age grand..lol
Dee
I have more babies popping up.I found some neat little clear solo cups at the dollar tree to transplant mine into, until I can figure out what I'm gonna do. I need more grow lights....The solo cups are short and fat, so they will work for a little while.it should be a little while before I have to pot them up, anyway.
Dee
those sound great. I may have to look for some. Going to plant seeds this coming year. Don't know how I'll do but going to try. I figure I got lucky with my brug baby.
Charleen
By the time I pot up what I have cominging trades, my grow stands will be completely full of brugs. I have 2 grow stands, right now
Charleen do you have an old shop light? That's all I use for grow lights, with regular florescents(misp??).
Dee
Durn, guess I got a Grow Floor. ^_^ That is where mine are. It was so pretty today. I enjoyed it. Hope it is pretty
again tomarrow.
Charleen do you like wave petunias? I am thinking about growing some to use as a groundcover around the brugs.I love them, and that about the only place that I will have to put them this year.
Dee
Be back in a few minute..gonna throw something together and call it supper...lol
Dee
They will be beautiful. I like the Wave petunias. They are sort of tough too.
I thought it looked like Elizabeth had what they call Creeping Charley under hers. that was nice too.
Charleen
That Bog garden looks so good.. I know it was alot of work, but definately a nice outcome!
Thank You. it wasn't too bad. Getting the rocks was the most difficult part.
Had to dig a little but not like for a pond. I've done that too. Getting too
old for that. hehehe But I still like to work outside.
Charleen
Hello everyone.It's been raining most of the day here and now they are saying it's not gonna let up til Thurday. I hope it clears up for a little while in the morning. I need to dig..
Did you see Alice's double yellow brug? It is beautiful!
Dee
No, I don't believe I did. I'll have to look for it.
got my othe Bog pond put in today.
Hauled more rocks.
Charleen
Gonna post another pic?Hope so
Dee
How about the finished one. I still need to get some peat moss but I want to put in EE there in back of those ponds
I think they will be beautiful. Can't wait til spring. It feels like that now. It has been an absolutely beautiful day.
Charleen
Wow, Charleen, you have been working your butt off.It looks great.Yes, I agree elephant ears would look great there.I like your elephant!
Dee
Is this your new goth garden?
Dee
I believe it may be part of it.
Do you think It will pass?
Won't the EE look grand in there. Some of the ones
you sent are getting life to them.
Charleen
Yes, it will make a great goth garden!Yep ee's will be great there. Glad thay are coming to life for you!
Dee
Have you heard anything from Elizabeth?
I haven't, I hope she is alright.
I don't like it when one of us is Missing.
Charleen
No, I haven't heard a thing from her. I saw where she posted on Gordon's posta today.
Dee
Goodafter noon
thought you might like to see this, it's blooming & it's pretty, hope it last for awhile
Elizabeth

This one is probably more clear
Elizabeth
So great to see you. Was wondering about you.
But that is a beautiful cactus.
Charleen
beautiful... I saw one from another DGr on the tropical forum.. I just need to get me one LOL
Charlene
I have been really busy, Thanksgiving is at my house, so the house has to be tiptop, you would be amazed what you find, I have donated 3 times in the last month, lucky for me they pick it up on the porch, anyway, I was clipping back
my plants, I found a bud on Rosalla lilla X wildfire, I just hope it doesn't get really cold, & it can bloom in the GH
Elizabeth
Debra
they are easy to start & grow, I have another one full of buds, I am not sure of the color yet
