| Lovely, Terri. I was slightly taken off guard when I got to this thread - since the date was still June 30th. Then I remember that you are 8 hours ahead.
Seeing your hollyhock reminds me of my hollyhock that got sprayed and killed by my neighbor's gardener. Next year, I am going to toss out a bunch of seeds, and then put a hoop around the seedlings. NO excuse for him to mistake that for a weed. LoL
Do you save your godetia seeds? I had some a few years ago, but nothing came up on the third year, and I never got around to replanting. |

| Thanks Dianne, it's great to see everything coming into flower, something new opening everyday!
I haven't grown Godetia for years, but will try and collect the seeds this year.
Hope you have more luck with your Hollyhocks next year, those chemicals are bad news!!!
I have another Hollyhock, it's only little but the flowers are frilly and nice.

| Hi terri, well, I dont think it is either of them. Stella is only about knee high being a dwarf or short variety and the color is wrong for Girl Scout. My bloom of Girl Scout is a poly which means it has more petals than normal. I almost think yours might be a species hemmie, but hard to tell with out seeling it in person and even then I mioght be guessing! Can you tak a photo close up on the blooms throat? That might help.
No name on the shocking pink lily.. I guess we wil just have to call it SHOCKING PANK! LOL!
I wish I had tons of the coneflowers in the prairie. I have only a very few started out there and hope they do well and really make a show in coming years. I want all colors and only have the purple and a rudebeckia that is gold.
I hope I can make the begonias last for next spring.. it wil be a first attempt to try to winter them in the house.
Well, nitey note mate! Catch you in the cafe or here or there tomorrow.
Hmmm also, dint know you had a greenhouse!!! That remionds me, I best get into mine tomorrow and take care of some things in there. Well, see ya in the GPS4 if you get a chance!

| Lovely flowers agian haighr!! Oh my gosh no, I cannot seperate them all! I have close to 500 or more varieties and only divide as I do garden projects around here. this year I have been dividing Stellas and have made close to 100 of better new clumps to go into a huge dogleg shaped garden bed here. Its a hobby gone over the edge in collecting and there is three acres here in beds, but not all are prime and proper being still in the works! The stellas are dug, but in pots until we can get a day when we will plug them in. As it is I have about 500 plantings to do this year yet.
I have only divided a few other varieties out of necessity or trade where they had to be moved due to encroachment on another area not welcome in or by a request. I had so many requests this season I had to stop excepting new trades until I got caught up.. Heck no I am not caught up! That never happens it seems! And no sooner do I get somewhat caugh up, it rans and the grass needs mowing. It never ends! But we love it.
I just keep spading away.

| It is when the weeds are in control. Right now and this year we are pretty dang grassy from all the rain. But most of the other weeds are under control. We hand pull most of the noxious ones but some we spray too. As for the grass. well we can spray for it too. But it depends how wet we are since we pond up here and have to be careful when applying ANY chemicals if we apply them at all.
Usually we will take the big mower and just mow them towards late summer or any time after I have harvested seed. They will come back. Always do. We lose very few but it also depends on the hybrid. If I find a daylily that does not do good here I do not replace it and try to get a different one to take its place.
IDAS Magic is one that does realllly poor here. I have had one fan of it for a really long time and it just never seems to propergate herself. There are a few others like that and I have had some that just die out because they do not like their location, either too wet, to shady or too sunny or some lame thing.
This is posibly Willie Bill. I thought I lost it, but found I have a clump that might be it, but am not positive. It looks close. It could very well be a seedling from it or another too. If you do not get all the seed pods from them and the pods drop, you get a brand new hybrid not like the parent. Each seed is different. It could look close to the parent, but genetically it is not.
Stella De Oro gets a lot of pods. Right now she is very poddy and I will have to take some time to harvest them. I put them to another part of the garden for newbies!
If you propagate them by divisions, they are most likelie the same as the parent, but occassionally if we miss a seed pod, the seed will drop into the clum and something else comes! Stella is one that a lot of breeders use for propagation because she is a tremendous pod plant!
I dont have time or the space to polinate my own selections so many of my new plants are what is called open-pollinated and are pollinated by wind, rain, or bug. Oh and each seed in the pod can be different so if you plant all the seeds form one pod if the pod has 10 seeds, each seed is a new hybrid. Some can be similiar, but often they are very different! Its fun to see the newbies!

Candee, fabulous giant lilies! do they have a powerful scent?
Love that Echinacea, it's different! There are still some leaves on 2 of the 6 that I planted, fingers crossed I MAY get somethin' lol.
The lily wasn't really open today to see the 'throat ' Blossom, here's another pic but will try again another day!
Black cornflower next to it.

| I will have to keep in mind the mowing idea, we could easily mow ours and that would cut down on the backbending a bit. How do you keep them in order there are so many, I would never remember what is what!
Terri, I never saw a black cornflower they are really nice. Oh the crocosmia, I miss them, mine just didn't return. Good luck on the echinacea I am sure you will get a couple. |

| Ok, terri, I will be watching for it! ANd for yer begonia!! LOL! And fer a shot of the GPS of yern!
Haighr, we used to do a nursery business. We quit and so before i yanked all the markers out I made garden maps which were much better than the markers. However, I do need to update so much here it is terrible just for my information..
That was one of the reasons we quit the business end of it was because of all the paprework needed in running this and that was before we were computerized. Now we got the puter, but it does not make that paperwork any easier. Now things are just a glorified hobby. The govt wanted so much technical information on what got sprayed when and what planted and sold, I just could not do it anymore. It was one royal headache. And really took the pleasure out of gardening. Then trying to keep up with clients. I still cant keep up with it all and traders now too in doing it for a hobby. Least now I do not have to file the annual reports which were a royal pain in the behinder! I can work at will. |

Yardqueen - is the Texas bluebells the same as lisianthus? I like those flowers, but they do not come back for me and I did not want to have to buy some every year.
The toadflax is nice and feathery. Do they have long enough stems to make good cutflowers???

Why does that comment "my banana is bloming make me wanna roll on the floor!! LOL!
I wanna see the fruits of that nanner! Nanner nanner nanner!! LOL! Mork!
Liatris comes also in white! I think therre are 2 shades of lavender, but then that may depend on the ph in the soil, dunno on that for sure though
Speaking of PH, my endless summer hydrangea cutting made a pank bloom. The mother plant has a second blossum coming and cant wait to see it!! Whooo Hoo!
That yellow daylily looks like one I have, but then i am only guess in it could be like one I have. It is hard to say without all the particulars in heigh, size of bloom etc!
I have tons of new pics to add here on the daylilies.. but I am soo short on time for the next several days..

And yes there are tiny bananas but even when larger they will not be the edible kind. At least not by us humans! I will post a pic of the bananas when I can get out to take one. Not sure if I will go outside tomorrow or not. If it is over 100 I won't! |

Well, today I have drizzle. A wee bit of releive and would have been goood sleeping last night had I been able to fall asleep.
Had writers binge. Was up to 3am composing.
Anyway, Hey dalfyre, lovely dog there. Ours kinda goes by the name of NONO BAD DOG...
My parents used to call me by my brothers name... I think that is why I now have a complex. And yeah, its a congenital fault! Worst thing about getting called by the wrong name, you begin to come to it! |

| lol - at least your parents spelled it right ;)
Do you find many people put an 'h' in to make it Theresa?
If I had a dollar for every time that extra letter crept in...
My hubby has a similar problem, surname is Tod...
yes just one 'd'
even after spelling it out for them people still put the extra d on the end.
Blossom - I have trained my husband to call my current dog 'clever boy good dog' when he needs him to come.
Usually because the dog has something he shouldn't have, like socks, gloves, the remote control...
if we say 'bad dog' it is a huge game & he runs away.
If we praise him he brings us his 'toy' to show off & trade it for a treat.
Took longer to train hubby than the dog but he gets it now:)

Instead of asking to go out she says MOM, come qwick, look what I did...
Never fails a tootsie roll every time! LOL
Now if I can just get her to do it outside. soooo frustrating.
Then of course her Daddy does not do diapers...I think they are training me.

| Dalfyre, if the doggie takes something, just calmly tell him to "come" and say Good!!!! Then give a treat. I only say positive things to my little doggie. Training is super fast because dogs are very smart once they know what we want.

| Sally - you are right, I clicker train my dogs these days.
It works wonders.
One has competed for years & has a title, Companion Dog Excellent.
The Mad Copper dog is the best trained pet in the west.
I have taught him high level work but don't compete anymore.
Just hate to see good mind go to waste.
Now if I could just teach them how to help in the garden...
Chita could have made a career of finding water pipes & digging trenches :)

| LOL! same way I keep up with the weeds...I DONT!!
. some days ya gotta take the good with the bad and that aint easy! Like the hub says, "Just once, AND I MEAN ONCE, I would like to see this garden weed free and looking good from stem to stern"...
Its a chronic work in the midst. er is that mist... I dont know anymore.. I do this in my sleep and while i am awake I am afraid!
Ya know, I have thought about this for a minute.. and that would be to adopt out portions of the garden, a sort of "bed and weedfest" type of thing. Have people come from near and far. They could pay me to thin the beds out.. they could take some of my excess... and if they did not need all that, ya know, they could just pot up the flowers that are too thick that they dont want from their part of adoption and leave them here for someone else..., They could bribe me with daylilies I dont have or bring in some other plants or garden supplies I do not have and well, have fun digging. We could trade garden stuff,chat garden stuff and just do all sorts of garden stuff, but ya know, its not something everyone likes, and ya can get a back ache jest thinking about doing this sort of thing... I dont even think it would float.
I mean, c'mon now, who on Gods green earth would want to come to ol' Blossoms weed patch and do a sort of thing like that? I would hate to send anyone home with a back ache ya know... That would be terrible. Then no less to have them pay to adopt a part of it.?...Nah, dont think there is anyone too game for that, I mean seriously... so well anyway, so much for thinking about that for a minute... but anyway,
Hmmm... well, I dont know. I dont think anyone at all would be game on that.
So, keep yer hat on soils, this lil old weed patch taint much to write home about. Its just a hobby gone wild along with a few good flowers and a plot of weeds.
(__)?
And anyone volunteering for that sorta thing, well you just gotta be a glutton for punishment ya know! So no one here tell me, you would do this sorta kinda thing now ya hear! If ya do it would be too tempting for me to start a new thread called Gardening Mass-o-kissers or some lame thing like that and well, you know Dave, how he just hates to see people going off the deep end and garden and that sort of rot.
Opening the Desperate cafe was a tough one as it was! LOL!
Well cheers soils... (__)? And thanks for apprecaiting the mess and all that stuff! See ya around eh! |
