To Chase Away The Winter Blues...3
this dl is called rainbow it is so pretty I think I will order this one
I have had this dahlia for 10 years it just gives me more flowers every year the clump
is so big now it take two people to lift it into a box to store it I think I will devide it into four sections this spring make it easier to store
Pretty pinks you have there. Anything that needs digging and storing doesn't last long around here. I do admire people that can do it year after year. I like that DL too. Actually I never met a DL I didn't like. Usually go for solid colors but there are always exceptions, right.
It will be year three for this bright orange/red/purple streaked DL. Name is 'Sunset Pride',.
well the trick is november 11 remember to pull summer stuff it always works for me a day
of remembering while I work a few tears and a few plants some coffee and Im all good
just started a fire in the fireplace hoping to give the furnace a break it has not stopped since nine last night lol and it is still cool in the house 65 is not hot lol

ok just got a call from a company that wholesales red delphiniums and they will be sold at home depot this spring but in small quantities lol that means high prices but hoping to find it lol and she will let me know in what location in my area so if worse comes to worse hoping to have seeds by the fall will hand pollinate and cover with fine net for a few days to make sure of what I will get
mona
I love that setting, ngam, in the opener. nice
Roots & rhizomes catalog came today--more daylilies than usual. Went through looking for small dormant plants. No hosta, I will look for 2 or 3 small leaves ones also.
Thanks evie. It will look a little different this year. You know , move this, replace that, it's never done but that's the fun of gardening for me.
Mona I hope you can snag one of those red delphs this spring. Be sure to let us know about the seed too.
iris have you ordered from them before? How has their service and products been for you? They do not have very good reviews at GW. I do like to see new catalogs arrive even if I am not ordering anything else. I luuuuv to look at all those pretties. ✿
re the red delphinium will be available at home depot in the states that is the info grower told me and in canada it will be hit and miss not impressed but will not quit
I must get it lol hahhahah
The main trouble I've been told about R & R is that if they run short of plants, they will send a similiar plant, not what you ordered. I bought a dwarf aruncus from them which was fine--but they no longer carry it. Perhaps it wasn't a good seller.
Physocarpus 'Coppertina'.
Mona, here are me red lupines from 2006.
Karen
I keep trying to get red ones but mine always come out checkerboards sigh.
In 2008 they were pink, but maybe it was a different plant that came up from seed and perhaps the mother plant died back. I don't remember if they bloomed in 2007. I think they did and were pink, like last year.
Karen
Here are the pink ones.
Those are a pretty colour too. My favorite so far is the 'Chandelier' yellow. I have them in front of the cottonyaster hedge so they really show well. Drat I don't have a pic. Here's my fav PG delph last year. Blend of purple, aqua and deep blue Very bright.
Oh nice Victor. Makes me anxious to see mine bloom in it's new location.
Nice lupins guys. They are so pretty and that delph, wow what color.
Here is my baby Coppertina in its new home last fall. Looking forward to it blooming and growing big and strong this year.

Thanks pat. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Gorgeous shades, dnut. I like the pink lupines, Karen. Nice and straight. Often they do weird curvy things.
Here is Manifich honeysuckle.
Mona, the Rainbow daylily looks very nice.
R&R puts out a nice looking catalog. I have only ordered from them once, and it was DL's. I was very disappointed, they were so small. Took them 3 years to bloom. Maybe they do better with other plants. Don't order DL's from them. This past fall I ordered DL's from Brown's Ferry Gardens, and they were good quality plants. Their prices are good, too.
I know what you mean, Victor, about the lupines doing weird, curvy things. Mine have done that, too, at times. Maybe that was why I didn't get pics of them in 2007. They probably weren't photogenic that year.

Karen
I planted a clematis and it must had these columbine seeds in the pot because the next year these came up and since they looked like they liked each other I did not move them
this is what I purchased
also planted eight different coneflowers last summer not a one bloomed this is an existing one I found on the property must be 5 years of more
