Amazing MG pictures...

I don't know how I stumbled across this site, but there are some amazing MG pictures on here. Two pages of links and some of those glories I would never have thought would have been glories. Almost shredded looking. You will just have to check these out, but plan on spending some time.

Shirley, I'm having trouble viewing the link. Speaking of MGs, I think I may have been a bit hasty sowing mine as they came up so quick (have not tried these before). Now I wonder what am I going to do with them until the last frosts?!

Hope you are feeling better - Sue

Sue, maybe if they get too tall, you can pinch them back. I've never done that but it might be better than letting them get too leggy. I'm feeling fine. Cleaned the greenhouse today and have the heat on, so tomorrow I start moving things out of the house.

I just checked the link and it is working okay on my end.

Brugie, that's a great link.. So many nice pics and varieties.

I sure saw a few I would like to have. Maybe one day they will make it to the states.

Oh my gosh, those large flowered varieties are to die for. Why in the world can't we get those varieties over here?

oh my gosh, I would love to have some of those! I looked at every picture!!

I have been told MGs do not like to be transplanted. Is it best to wait and direct sow?

my favorites were the 'ray flow' ones. too cool. :)

Great site Shirley!! TY!

Bluegrass, I've potted and transplanted them with good luck, but have also been told that they won't grow until the ground is warm so it isn't a great advantage to start them early inside as they aren't going to grow out there anyway until warm. Now, I have to say that I've not tested the difference in potted ones compared to ground sowed so I can't say. I guess being in the cooler part of the country, I prefer to give mine a little extra growing time by starting them early. I don't think you would have any trouble if you could grow them in peat or paper pots that will break down. I generally just let them grow in small plastic pots and when time to put out, I let the soil get pretty dry so it will stay in one clump and I dump and plant.

Thanks Shelly, I thought that was a good one for looking at some very pretty MG's and some that were unusual.
