What have you ordered for spring 2009 - Part 6

Received my caladium co-op order today from Caladiums4Less. The FedEx truck was pulling away when I got an email confirming delivery!!

I couldn't be a FedExdeliveryguy. I would have dropped off the order and emailed 'You're order has been delayed 6 weeks' just to mess you up.

Me too, me too!!! Do you pot them up and keep them inside for a bit, since it is still so stinkin chilly at night? They did look good though. Had to show mom when he pulled away.

Too much work for me, Jan. I just wait a bit.

All the plants look great----nice to get a poppy bud, Jo Ann. I received a hellebore that was in bloom from Fieldstone Gardens. Patti---be sure to post photos of the iris. Yesterday, while sitting my GKids, HayHay & I found dog tooth violets & trillium in bloom---she's going to be my garden helper!

nice garden crossings shipment came today

OP's are hard I never realized so many dif. varieties just dont take. I was lucky with the red ones from my grandmothers garden. They mush have been really hardy. If I have too much trouble in the next few years I'll just go on to another plant. "I fall in love too easily" old torch song
I have to wait another 2 weeks for Caladiums.
Since everyone is getting theirs it must be winter is over?

Last year I planted 12 or so OP under the roof eves. DH cackled me out. OK so I moved them. Of course they were struggling, but it looks like they have taken and will produce a flower this year - I hope. I have a ton of poppies started now. Some of them the root goes down into the soil and the leaves looks like they are dancing on a hair. They are babies so anything is possible? I will get a pic. I think its amazing. I got 48 of the reds in one tray.
Persian Blue, Oriental Red, Lavender - eeks I cant find the package must be in the GH.

Let's just say, Celeste, that it's too chilly to put the caladiums out yet.

I like the crepe papery look of poppy petals. (say that 3xs fast)

I have to get the Select Seeds catalog out after I saw mentioned about Brazilian Sage. will check it out.

My favorite farm market - where I get most of my flats of annuals should open this weekend. I think I'll have to go today to see what is available. I like to patronize local vendors. If I lived closer to you, Sherrie, I'd be there. :) I had asked her about angelonia last year. We'll see if she got them.

here are some of my new jm's

this is from topiary gardens komachi hime - shown this one before - love it

this is jm koto maru from greers

these pics will be a bit messy as they are under the back deck used for storage

this is shigatasu sawa from rarefind

this is jm shishigashira or "lion's mane" jm from greers

this is jm koto no ito from greers - it is a big one!

and finally this one is jm peaches and cream - this one is also big and wide - nice tree.

did not post asahi zuru as it is still in the recovery room - it is looking better though

and one last thing - i made some folks real happy yesterday - Costco had 4-5' ft bloodgoods - my wife cousin has been looking at $300 trees and a buddy's wife loves jm's so i alerted them to these - they were priced at $60 - good deal.

my boodgood out back is a confirmed goner and you can see the reason here
