New Bees 04/18/11 friends - new and old...Come on in...

Several years ago, Tubby sent me some seeds, and I have tried ever since to get those darn things to sprout and grow with no luck what so ever, but for some reason, this spring ever one of those seeds that I started inside sprouted and are growing. I didn't start too many of them, but you can bet those little seedlings that are now growing are going to get lots of loving care, as they now mean just that much more to me :-) Thanks Tubby! Bless you and rest in peace, my friend.

Nettie, I would leave the arm out and just plant about half way up the log. The roots will go deeper as it grows. You'll have to show us a picture of it Nettie.

amanda p didn,t see you ,wellcome to yhe garden. littlenettie

Nettie, take a benadryl tablet and that may help with whatever you got in your eyes. Maybe too much pollen from all your working out pulling weeds. YOU be careful and don't over-do. I feel some better today. Gotta go get my test results now. back later.
Beautiful day out today after the rain last night. Supposed to be cooler today too.

I assume this is her skirt mekos? LOL

Close up - she's a beautiful buttery yellow color so far;o)

Won't be long now Kelly. That is beautiful! Can't wait to see what she looks like opened fully. Yippie!
I had 2 more Iris bloomed today.

Here is another.

Pretty! I will have to lay on the ground to get a good picture of her once she blooms - lol.

;^)

I am so sad! My irises are about done - everything else is just now taking off so I will be about flowerless soon.
I do have a purple foxglove blooming, it sure is purty!

OH Enid, I have a yellow foxglove budded out to bloom soon. And my daylilies are about to start. Do you have daylilies?

I love Nettie cause she stays in Arkansas! I am pretty sure if she got any closer to me that mean little gun toting woman would get me in lots of trouble! LOL Love you Nettie!

I saw the most remarkable thing yesterday evening about 8 p.m. - my windmill was completely still - we had no wind, not even a little puff of air - that hardly ever happens in Oklahoma!

Well, back to my search of the Claverack iris sold by J & J Iris in 1979 - I can't find much info on it, it isn't even listed here.
