Finally finished. Ordered 15 different varieties. I always end up ordering more than I intended.
What have you ordered 2010 #2.
isn't that the goal? =:0)
Rooguchi - you'll love it.
I was surprised at how many flowers it put out in its first year.
Another SilverStar Vinery lovely....
What ones did you get Victor?
Of course I had to look again... I just LOVE Saturn's Rings and Sparkler is soooo cool looking and different, or how about Twist and Twirl......or how about?......sheesh there are just sooooo many I like.
Are you ordering direct from them or is there a co-op in the works?
Every year i spend too much at Rosy Dawn - but they're soooo worth it!
I haven't ordered from them but am tempted.
The only co op I've seen was a Helebore one.
those are plentiful here. Coleus - well, it is a bit early for them (have to remember it's still january...) and i don't ever see a great selection in the nursuries until Mid - May. Rosy Dawn fulfills my need for coloured foliage.
Not looking. I have too many perennials on the way to add annuals on top of them to get planted. They will have to come from my few local nursery trips to spend gift cert. All the soil amendments, fertilizer and any plants that accidently fall in the wagon will get paid for with the GC from Christmas.
Katye that is a pretty pic of Rooguchi. I am so looking forward to them.
Allison (of course!), Beckwith's Gem, Black Beauty, Cantigny Royale, Dexter, Felix, Flamingo, Gays Delight, Jo Jo, Mahogany Giant, Peter Wonder, Saturn, Sorcerer, Theater Velvet and Wild Lime.
I had CantignyRoyale last year.Its a nice dark mounder. I took a plant in this winter and hope to put it out.All the color is gone but dk.purp edges. Color will return inJune.
We had coleus 'Tobasco' last yr. I'm afraid that I didn't think much of it.
I couldn't resist some coleus even though I have seeds to start too! I ordered
Trailing Plum Broccade
Screaming Raspberry
Saturn's Rings
Ruby Laser
Moonglow
Mariposa
Glennis

Wow that is a terrific bunch. What color you are going to have. Nice.
I already had some of those last year.. but didn't get everything in when I got sick last fall... the beckwiths gem & walter turner.. I know they are close.. but I couldn't get a positive ID on this one... and I NEEDED it again
Love the bright color contrast and everyone here understands the NEED factor I am sure.
in that darker corner of my yard.. it screamed!!!
and this year I am printing labels as soon as my order gets here... the tags they supply don't last
I have many of those on my list.
you have good taste!!
;)
tee hee
more good news.. the AG apricot sprite germinated!!!
Its that Allison charme
ooohh I wish!!!
this one is the only geranium with a poor germination rate (say that 3 times fast)

Pretty, worth the effort.
just hope they grow stronger this year... last year was not that good
Geraniums are pretty hard to grow from seed, aren't they Allison? So you're doing well. Have you started the perennials ones, too?
i lost many new plants
That sure happens. That just means they were not meant to be for your garden, and something better was. Although I must say I lost many meconopsis before I finally got one to take. Usually I just give up.
I was just saying this morning I needed some hardy geraniums ... I think I got one last year at a swap though...
last years germinated and grew well.. but only a few bloomed.. and bloomed late in the season... a friend told me to take cuttings of the seedlings & the babies will be stronger than momma.. figured it was worth one more try.. and if anything I will try and overwinter more maybe those will be good the year after.. I have two I saved from last year.. see how it goes
Nice germinating allison! Hope they stay strong for you. I grew one hardy geranium last year and loved it. Will be doing more this year.
Nice coleus choices. heres some of my favorites
drool!!!
Jada all your cuttings you sent are doing well... huge in fact.. just starting new cuttings this week.. out of some of mine, yours and Dales I have 3 trays started so far
That is so great allison! I have been a bad coleus mama...I have three cuttings left....was sick last fall. These are from early summer
October
nice one!!!....
you and me both.. most of the ones I sent you are gone too
oops, my computer is not cooperating this morning
