Well, here we are in April Showers. In the South (United States, that is) this could be April Tornados, April Hail, April Showers, or April Droughts. We have had April Snow in the past as well. But with April Showers come May Flowers, so lets get it started. No longer will we have to purchase all our flowers and foliage. Now, or VERY soon, we can walk out into our backyard and find a multitude of pretties just waiting to be picked and shown off in our latest displays. If you don't have any at the moment, lively conversation works as well. To old and new friends,
WELCOME TO THE FLOWERPOT CAFE'
Have a seat, join us for a cuppa or two and hope you enjoy your visit!

What lovely weeds you have. Now how do you keep the "weeds down" as in the bowl. Everything I try just wants to float?
I spot some lilacs and dogwoods, what else have you gathered there for your spring fling? |

Well, I gathered so many weeds, I crammed them in so the don't float. LOL. The are very soft and pliable. I got a little of everything: the azaleas, rhododendrums, pincushion flower, bachelor's button, spirea, switch grass (which I despise, but found the length and drape to be nice, but handle with care), foliage off saplings (I think redbud), tall weeds with little white flowers that look like daisies, Foliage from bulbs, more weeds, vinca major, the green and yellow bush I always forget the name of, but Karma knows, varigated monkey grass, and probably poison ivy too. LOL. No seriously, I don't know what it looks like!!
This is blurry, but one arrangement I did.

Good morning everyone. Still haven't worked on my Urn theme as we spent yesterday after work tearing down the ceiling and 50 year old insulation from our breezeway. What a mess and every time I get into a similar project, I am wishing I had put on goggles and a face mask. I had a mask but it kept falling off guess my nose is smaller than it looks.
Lovely sunflower tea Terri, thanks for the sip as it helps to clear my throat!

Candee, they make masks that have a metal piece over the nose. You can pinch it to fit. I have to use these for my job. MOTHER VOICE - Always were a mask, especially on older homes, ASBESTOS!!
I love sun tea, thank you! Hmmm...where have I seen that pot before? |

Hello~~~~~~~~~~been missing the fun. It has been...busy...at home; so am behind on classes, chat and coffee. Hope to be catching up soon. We are having rain this week. My poor little crocus are taking a very cold, full power shower. I Knew that I should pick a few.
Anyway, thought that I would post a couple of pics-bright spots in my home.
Edited: to introduce Pippin the toy poodle and her favorite "sister" Casey. They share sunspots, heat vents and grooming.

Hi everyone,
Candee, Hope you have managed to tear down the ceiling ok?!! Sounds like very dusty work. We have to wear those masks with the metal clip on the nose, when we are mixing grout in the mosaics class. Thankyou for my shells, they arrived today in perfect condition.
I shall be bringing my seashell/shore arrangement in soon!
Your flower is gorgeous, yes the Olympus was a great idea!
Star, Sorry to hear your weather conditions are bad again.Hope you manage to save all your plants. Glad you found us, (we move alot)!
Hi Marcia, nice to see you at the cafe! Love your orchids, absotutely gorgeous. Hope the weather improves for you and your garden starts blooming soon. Shame your crocus suffered in the power shower! Hi casey and Pippin!
Traci, Moving your plants in and out keeps you out of trouble at least .. LOL!!
I thought I would collect some flowers and foliage from the garden like you did the other day.
It's so nice to be able to collect a few flowers from outside the back door again!
Anyone see the goats in the old cafe? Hahahaha!!!!!! you never know whats going come in here, its great.!!
Well here's a basket of flowers collected from the garden today.
Kerria, Hebe, rosemary, choisyia sp? forget me nots, honesty and polyanthus

Hey all,
Won't be around much through next week. I get Teensy monday and I have over 200 lilies to plant. This doesn't include the 150 glads. WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!?! Well, honestly, I had tilled beside the walkway and was planning on them going there, but then things changed. So at the time, it was a great idea. Now every one has to go into pots. Potting soil is NOT cheap. I know I am not planting them right, cramming as many in them as I can, but I figure they will atleast have a fighting chance if they are in dirt.
Star, It is gonna get us. Just a couple of nights and then right back up into the 80's. Don't we have the craziest weather in the south?!?!
Candee, don't you just love the macro. Beautiful picture. The one I am attaching was taken with my "like new" Canon. A wonderful DGer over the pond, not Terri (who is wonderful also), sold it to me for dirt cheap. Now I take pictures all the time. I am still learning mine, as far as manual settings go. Have fun and keep snapping away.
Marcia, how do you do it? The orchid has been blooming for 2 MONTHS!!! AND you have more on the way?!? I want to get into orchids one day, but I realize I need to learn about the basic plants first. LOL. My photo is one I had, but not anymore as I don't know what to do with them after bloom. Pipen and Casey are adorable!!
Terri, those are great!! I never did anymore with mine, but I do have some left in good condition and MIGHT do something with them, IF I CAN FIND THE TIME!! I need so much more of that. What is the long stem sticking out of the spout on the yellow tea pot? I LOVE IT.
I'll drop in when I find time.
First attempts with macro on camera. Not to bad, but have gotten better. Reminds me of a lion.

Hi Traci, Why are you putting them in expensive compost? Use your garden soil for bulbs... Good luck with all your potting up.
Yellow balls! aka Kerria japonica in the spout.

Hi and thanks folks. It has been awhile since I was able to go to classes and to come for coffee.
Traci-would encourage you to start with Phals. They are the easiest, some of mine bloom 2x a year. For me they do best with benign neglect. This purple is a heavy producer. The other 2 blooming just put a few blooms up, but they were heavy last time.
I only killed one..had been careless and left a moist piece of bark on the center of the plant. Drat and it was a lovely pastel yellow one.
Will see if I can get the website of the orchid nursery, less than 5 miles from me..just lovely and they have a greenhouse cat!!! I often just cruise the aisles during the long winters...and when family visits...and when I want some color inspiration. |

Beautiful orchid Marcia, I have never had any luck with them, they croaked faster than you could blink an eye.
Terri, I adore your baskets, they are as unique as you are clever and you have so much inventory in your garden to choose from, I am as green as your arrangement with envy at your blossoms.
Sounds like you are gonna be real busy Traci, but at least you will have a helper in Teensy. When I have a lot to pot up I use garden soil for the bottom half of the pot and then the potting soil on top, that way I don't use near as much. I have a feeling I will be learning this camera for a long time as there is a lot to do with it and I can't remember one setting from the next so will have to study it! |

Hi everyone,
Marcia, next time you go to the Orchid nursery will you take your camera and take some pics to show us please? That would be lovely, you are lucky to have such a place nearby for colour inspirations.
Thanks on the baskets Candee, apart from the forgets me nots there isn't much else flowering yet, only the odd flower here and there, not enough to make a BIG arrangement yet!!
It's a cloudy day here and I'm aching from digging up weeds and grass from my allotment all week. Think I'm just going to chillax today and watch the football.
I made my seashell arrangement, using my new shells from Candee, black grass (can't remember the name of it) hellebore and forget me nots.
Happy gardening all.

Thanks Sweetie.
Diggerette is probably digging!
I said I was going to chillax today but, I don't sit for long, get bored and want to be doing stuff in the garden. I planted a few things into the ground that were in pots, a couple of Hollyhocks, Penstemon, Lobelia cardinalis sp? I dug up my dahlia tuber by mistake! I always forget where things are, anyway I found it a better place to live.
I have bulbs and other plants to go in tomorrow, weather permitting.
Flowers ... Fondue ... Bon appetite!

I love the Macro pics Candee and Pupil! Yeah, it did look like a Lion.
You'll be busy planting and playing I guess pupil?
Hey Terri, nice fondue. Do you know, I've never had one before!
I picked up 3 bunches of Carnations today, for $3 a bunch! They aren't bad, no shrivelling or brown spots or anything, and still some unopened buds! Bonus! I put them back in my Ch-urn. If I get a chance, i will take a pic when it is daylight (Tomorrow)
Hey Terri, I forgot to say, loved you Sea shell arrangement. The black grass is Mondo, (Ophiopogon Nigra) The Hellebores look nice. They frustrate me, in that they are always looking down! I should plant some in a tree.
O.k, off to make dinner for three and have a wash!
See you tomorrow.

elle, I miss everyone too when the cafe is quiet! Those hours are tough, can't imagine working all night and sleeping all day. You can always call in here for a cuppa!
Sue, Thanks on the seashell arrangement. Glad you were able to tell me the name of the grass. I was going to ask if anyone knew what it was called! do you know if I should plant it in the sun or shade?
what frustrates me more than Hellebore hanging down is that Abuilton (sp)? Lovely flowers, but you just can't see them!
Lovely sunny yellow flower you brought to the cafe, Thankyou. Enjoy dinner!
Looking forward to seeing your Carnations next!
Think I may go flower shopping tomorrow, just haven't got enough to use from the garden yet.

Elles, sure sounds like you have a tiring job, hope you can enjoy some spare time. Nice to see you back we missed you.
Sue that is a beauty and your bargain crysanthemums are wonderful. Such great colors.
I didn't even start any seeds inside this year, but have a lot of what I harvested last year and need to get them outside pretty soon and in the ground.
I did find a new little pineapple sprouting this morn so will enjoy that development.

Hope you'll all join me in wishing Karma our fantastic floral designer a very "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
Sue, As if by magic the flowers appeared! Love the vibrant colours of hot pink and purple together, that is a beautiful plant. Thanks for bringing it in.
Helllllllllloooo Adele! Nice to see you in the cafe. Your jug of moonshine is a great idea! Thankyou. What are the lovely flowers?
Candee, I missed you! Lovely to see a new real pineapple growing, you are so lucky with your pineapples! I will have to start yet another one, they always seem to rot at the early stage. Maybe this time of year it will be better for me? Yours looks so healthy, Thankyou.

Whoopee! Colour and flowers and cake and candles. Happy birthday Karma!
Moonshine Adele! Yeeeeeeeeee-ha!
Candee, I love the variegated pineapple, gonna have to get me one of those! My pineapple is now about 8" and still growing. I bought a fresh one today so that I can plant the top and start a new one!
Hi Karma, flowers for us on your birthday! Thats a turn around! Beautiful colour in those roses eh?
Terri, it all looks so scrum-diddly-umptious. Where to start, a piece of cake? or maybe a cocktail! Mmmmm, its after dinner for me, so...Go the cocktail! Yeeeeee-ha!

Funny about dippy. DH and I went on a holiday once and when we ordered breakfast at a little cafe, the waitress asked DH how he wanted his eggs? He said "semi-dippy" LOL
She wanted to know if he wanted them fried, poached or scrambled! I laughed all the way home!

I think Elle has some peonies popping up there. LOL Sue, we had the same experience once years ago when travelling to Florida. When you say dippy eggs down south they look at you like you dropped from another planet.
Terri, what do you mean you opened the carnations? Wow, you have the patience of a saint if you did that yourself. I would have stuck them in water and crossed my fingers! At any rate it is a lovely tiered display. |

Is that your house garden Terri? I didn't know you could force the carnations either Candee, else I might have had a go when I got my supermarket bargains! Well done on recognising the Peonies Terri! I would not have recognised them. I have never grown them either.
Do post us a pic when they're in flower Elle.
Hellloooooo Andrew! Is that egg nog you're drinking, or maybe an Irish coffee, hmmmmmm?
Hey Adele, hows the club garden going? Blue potatos, are they really blue? Gosh, so much to learn.

Sue, yes blue potatoes are bluish in color. They look real pretty in potato salad, but not so great to me for mashed potatoes!
I have one stand of bushy peonies and two oriental tree peonies, there is a distinct difference when you look for some Sue so if you think of getting some check out the different varieties first.
Was nice of Traci to skip in if only for a moment, sure she will have a story upon her return!
Edited to say, Terri that carnation bowl on the outside table is quite inviting.

Hi Sue, Terri, Traci, Candee and Elle,
Yes Terri, My potatoes are finally chitted and in the dirt. I think blue potatoes look good and taste good in everything and ha,ha, ha Sue, Andrew does look a lttle smashed in that photo doesn't he?But he's not. The club garden is looking good, phlox and and daffodills are in bloom. I took some photos of it but they don't do the garden justice. How do you take a picture of a garden without it looking washed out?
Does anyone have a good way to get rid of Japanese knotweed. I tried round-up and it does nothing. I covered some with plastic and then wood chips over the plastic but I can't cover the whole club.
Candee, Did you like the coffee?:)The tulip is beautiful. How big is the photo?
I'm off to kill some knotweed,
Adele

Adele, I did indeed enjoy my morning sip of coffee. Sorry I could not stay and chat with Andrew very long, but was night to meet him and hope to see him at the cafe again. I am not sure of the size of the photo as Daves downsizes them to about 800 pixels when we upload them. I believe that is the size, would have to go check on that for sure.
Whenever I use RU I use the concentrate and mix myself and use at least twice what is called for. I have used boiling water to kill weeds in the past but that is kind of a nuisance if you have to cover a lot of territory.

The reason why I asked about the size of the photo is because there is a watering can with flowers in the front of the tulip and I couldn't tell if it was a tiny can or the photo was huge. So I guess the can is tiny? |

Hi everyone! missed you too!!!!!!!!!! Rip Van Winkle! more like Mary Poppins!!
Sue, yes, thats part of my garden at home, quite scruffy, it does its own thing mostly!
Candee recognised the peonies, ... just for the record! I think it's a good idea to have a cocktail night, look forward to wonderful creations!
Adele, can't wait for us to have blue potato salad on the menu! how exciting.
Sorry to hear you have the dreaded knotweed. Luckily I haven't had to deal with it in my garden. Sorry no help!
Candee, Wow love the art for the cafe! Thankyou, you did a great job, the frame is a really good idea.
Funny you all thinking I'm at my allotment!! never to return... did I tell you about the time I lost my key on my plot and I was locked in? That was scary.
I'm bringing in a mosaic of a london bus one of the students did in the mosaic class. He allowed me to take a photo of it.

Wow and Double Wow!!!! Looks like folks have really been busy.
Just got home and it a cool 92F in this trailer so if ya all don't mind, I gonan forgo coffee and help myself to one of them cool refeshing looking drinks up there. Very inviting they are.
Warning ya right now with it being os hot in here , don't leave your drinks laying around cuz ya just might come back and find them empty that how thirsty I am at the moment.
Don't fulyl understand how that tulip phot go tmade, but sure is cool to see.
I ain't never gonna get no flowrs if they don't open up more than one flower at a time. I got my my first and only calla lily bloom. Just got one, so can't cut it yet.
Blue potatoes cool. Are they the ones that are just blue on the outside and white inside or blue all the way through. Ya they do make an intersting color out of the potaoes, the problem is tryign to get the taste buds to realize that they are a potao and not somethign icky.
So where at on seasons aroudn the world here. Finally our last frost is over and up in the 80's. Maybe now somethign will grow.

I agree, you should be a professional, some florist shop is missing its mark by not having you and your ideas as they are outa this world fabulous. I am enjoying the snacks you put out and will await the cocktail later in the week.
Your buckets look fab and you inspired me to go out and get some forget me nots for one of my beds, as I have not had them before.

Azalea and my soil don't like each other! My Mum lives 250miles away in Liverpool and she has some lovely ones! I have had them growing in pots in the past, but dont have them anymore!

My mother had a green thumb with azaleas and so does my MIL they are huge and gorgeous. Mine after years and years are pretty but quite small. This year I have been dumping them with the coffee grounds and that helps a lot.
I hope whoever drops in for a cocktail and has this strawberry daiquiri is not too thirsty, cause I am just making the one LOL, Terri how do you have the patience for some of these, first could not get it to do what I wanted and then could not get a decent photo.

Terri you are so right, blue bells I believe are the straws, will have to post a pic of the whole plant as I kind of forget but have lots of them. The umbrella is leaves of bleeding hearts, tried using a parrot tulip, but was too large. Inside the glass is crushed ice mixed with red azalea and pink salvia petals. The stock make a good cream topping.

Hey Candee, that was great! I too thought it was real until I took a closer look. The "cream" looks soo creamy and real! Well made!
Hello Star, Hello Terri, I love the Stocks Terri. I'll get a closer look at your oiled leaf, but if I look now, I'll lose my post! So as per usual, another gorgeous bunch of pics! I guess I'll have to wait for the next cocktail. C'mon bar tender!
Too dark here for me now to get flowers or pics, and possibly getting dark when I get home tomorrow too, but as soon as I can, I will be making the shots! Was it Karma who did the test tubes? Or was it Adele? I can't remember. And Bartender, I want alcohol in mine!

Hi everyone!
Candee, So glad you found us on this forum. It's great that you join in with the fun of making things! As we all know, even when we get frustrated with what we are making at times, it's the 'making' that is the fun part!.
Hope you get time to make some more, the flowerpot crowd are always thirsty!!
Star, remember waaaaaaayy back, you had some champagne glasses? good excuse to get them out. LoL!!
Sue, It was YOUR idea to make cocktails!!!!!! cheek of it calling for the bartender LOL! I'm looking forward to seeing what you make for us!! I remember the test tubes they were wild! I will let the person who made them identify themself.. hahaha!
Lovely brom, gorgeous hot colour, thanks for bringing that one in.
Anyone fancy a LARGE one? or you can share, it has many straws!
Cheers!

Hi all, I didn't get home till after dark, and again tomorrow aswell, so I can't have any cocktails til friday, which is great because I can sleep in on saturday. I promise I'll play bartender then! hopefully there will still be some alcohol left!
Whats in the large one Terri, it looks like it will make me "forget" or not! Have you got a name for it? |

I just had a sip and it is a very STRONG mint julip! Please help me as there is no way I can finish this myself.
Friday cocktails sound wonderful to look forward to. I don't do "shots" well so just keep that in mind when you bring them out - I have danced on a lot of tables and I sure would not want to break anything in the cafe (not too concerned about the tables - more about my legs) LOL!

Thank you so much Elle, that is very "sweet" of you. I just had a sip and it is just like that pink zinfandel that I like so much! I will likely finish this off myself before anyone else arrives today, so thanks again. |

Hi Sue, Candee and elle,
Sue, It's called mint julip! with aloe vera straws. What time does it go dark where you are?
The evenings are getting lighter here, not going dark until after 8pm.
I'm looking forward to your cocktails!!!!
Candee, Good idea you not having any shots, we don't want the call the cyber ambulance to our cafe!!!!!
elle, Thankyou fot the tulip wine, it looks very delicate with the lovely pink tulips. Candee drank it all so I didn't get to try it! We have to be quick around here!
I mave made 3 cocktails to keep you going until the rest turn up!
They don't have names, you'll just have to try them and see what they taste like!
I have lots of boring housework jobs to do now, so will go and get busy.
Have a good day where you are..

First I made a wish since I see you posted those right at 11:11 a.m.
The pink/red one is surely a seabreeze and you did a splendid job, I just had a sip as I am still tipsy from the tulip wine.
The De Kuyper Blue Curaçao makes a lovely cocktail on the left, but I am not much into rum so better leave that one for Sue.
Is that another mint julip in the center, but with a bit more alcohol than the last one you made me.
Great bartender Terri, keep them coming. |

Oh, glad you liked that one, Thanks. The curled up fronds are from a fern in the garden.
Thought I'd better make a fresh pot of tea for the tea drinkers!
