Shopping spree #12

it is a good one

A caladium called 'Creamsickle' jumped into my cart @ Brent & Becky's when I ordered Lilium, Oriental/Trumpet 'Orania' and low and behold a gladiolus named 'Costa' jumped in the cart too!!

I believe I have Oranea lily.Its just wonderful.

I've noticed that those bulbs have a mind of their own...lots of jumping into the cart! Especially lilies.....

^_^

Cant go wrong with a lily.la! la! la! la!

Here are mine with echi Summer Sky

Beautiful, as usual, Jo. You do have a way with combos.

I am fi ding I like caladiums because they give lots of color. If DH always wants to leave for July, I have to pick things that I will enjoy and not miss their show of color.

Love that combo Jo

I agree about caladiums.They dont overwhelm with color and leaf shapes are great.

Love the way the lily color compliments the echies!

Ordered from B & D Lilies ~
'Saltarello' - Orienpet
'Etoshia' - Orienpet
'Gizmo' - Easter

that combo IS great, Jo

Thanks gardeners! I hope they do better this year than last.

I'm looking at the same catalog, Pixie.....haven't made my choices yet, but I also liked Gizmo......

ordered two more itoh peony - garden treasure and first arrival in a coop - the bare roots are supposed to be very large.

fairweather catalog came yesterday - have not looked at it yet.

That's where I bought the camellia.....

Marilyn, are camellias hardy in your CT zone? How exciting if I could grow a couple camellias at our new place in Conn! What color is yours?

Winter's Star, a pale pink, is hardy to zone 6, so I'm pushing it, but I will give it winter protection for the first few years....it begins blooming in late Sept. I'm excited about trying it.....

I did buy April Dawn for zone 6. This article talks about being able to grow in colder zone, depending where you put it.
