nice jen

They all look good, Jen. My Shepherd's Warning was too small, & then, just disappeared....I saw I lost my Perfect Storm geranium as well....

Echinacea "PowWow Wild Berry' , 'PowWow White' and 'Raspberry Truffle ' arrived in good shape yesterday along with Eragrostis, Purple Love Grass.

Oooh...like the sound of purple love grass.....got an email that Bluestone has shipped my order....yay!

Just received B&B while out planting the Bloom River order. Got all but two planted. Also planted one JM from Davidsan. Was looking wilty. Hope it's okay. It's Royle or Royal. Both are used.

It should be fine victor - think i have that one in the mail to me now.

Not looking an better this AM. Maybe with the rain later.

3 huge bulbs came in from American Meadow
http://www.americanmeadows.com/flower-bulbs/lily-flower-bulbs/asiatic-lily-bulbs-oklahoma-city

it will take a couple days - had a few from greers arrive like that and they bouced back although did loss some length to the branchs.

my komanchi hime is in a struggle for its life out there although no sign of black branches which is good.

Now that most of my JM's are leafing out, I see many dead branches - even on older plants. Rough winter. Some critter damage too. The small one that was crushed by the nandina has bitten the dust. Also, the weeping dawn redwood - Grace, looks dead.

Frustrating spring.

Opened my FW order and two plants were scratched due to failure - aesculus and a JM. Bummer.

Hate that! Went to order some primroses & they were sold out. My JMs have not leafed out yet.

Got some Siberian Iris and was shocked at the size calling them seedlings would be pushing it

too bad about grace victor - mine is all budded so sounds bad.

had some damage on jm's as well although i trimmed them off a while ago - not really more than normal though - other than the deer snacking

Mine was def more than normal. Found another goner - Mr. Sun.

gamekeeper! do you have photos of your weenie siberians?
Where did they come from so we can avoid that place.

Got my clems from Brushwood today.

What did you order? Mine have not arrived yet.

Just that one beauty - though three of them. Omoshiro.

I recieved Omoshiro earlier this month. Cant wait to see it bloom.

Yes, that was on my list as well......

Victor, I did as you. 1 Omo because I love Pirl's photos, 2 more for insurance.

I'm kicking myself for not buying a Omoshiro...next year. :)
Recieved several plugs, mostly annuals, caladiums from Bill and of course daylilies. ^_^
Check this out...I bid on a 3fan clump from a hybridizer that im very fond of. He will often sell his seelings that don't quite make the cut for his introduction line and will sell them as un-named, un-registered daylily seedlings.
Here's his idea of a seedling clump.......

This is his picture of the seedling that didn't make the cut. Think im just a weeeeeee bit happy!!!

Love people with standards like that

He's very good to me when ever I buy from him, he sent me a dbl. fan of "Mississippi Memento" too. ^_^

Lucky, Pixie! That's quite a beauty! I'm so glad I found The Lily Garden....they have the candlelabra lilies I love so much.....planted Eros & Ariadne, & Red Velvet.....must start spraying for the beetles!

Nice bonus!
