update: obf - april worship the green goddess
Comments (150)Remy's package to me arrived today. What a big box and so full of all kinds of goodies! I tried to make a list so hopefully I have everything written down. Remy sent me Trachystemon orientalis, two daylilies (I looked up Ball Gown on the internet and I think it is Remy's picture of it shown in the example!), Helenium, an iris, a pulmonaria, Succisa pratensis, and Leontine Gervais Rose. That looks like such a beauty on Remy's blog. I hope it grows well for me. She also included some homemade applesauce (totally yum!), green tea, stevia, a pop-up vase, landscape gloves, and a tissue pack with flowers printed on them. Thanks so much, Remy. You really spoiled me! Jeanne...See MoreSome pics of my beauties in spring '15, some rare-ish stuff
Comments (9)Some more stuff. One bloom on my small 'Cameo' Quince. Perfect form. 'Alba' Redbud. Not a prolific bloomer, but very nice next to it's species brethren. Seedling of 'Crimson King' Norway maple. Was just a neglected stick for years, but glad I never cut it down. Was a very deep burgundy last year, seems to not be as deep this year. Will stay this color all summer, with just a slight greening of the leaf centers. 9-10 ft. this year. 'Shimanishiki' Japanese Tree Peony. Has 3! buds this year. First to open (not quite fully). 'Ryusen' Acer palmatum. Great lemon-lime effect with new growth on old. 'Albospica' Sequoia Sempervirens. Not a great pic of the cream-white new growth. Cercis Racemosa. Had the hardest time finding this one. No flowers this year, and foliage is ho-hum. I'll wait very impatiently for its first bloom.Seedling of Dawn Redwood. Transplanted last year from a nearby grove. Looks like it lost the leader this winter, but that won't hamper this vigorous beast. The nursery I bought this from called it a 'Shooting Star' Japanese Umbrella Pine, but I'm pretty sure it is the same as 'Sternshnuppe'. A bit pricey for this 2yr graft, but worth it. About to put out its new growth this year....See MoreVisited a houzz member's garden!
Comments (131)That is too bad, Rouge. Maybe the difference in temperature then? Though the pup I gave to Woody hasn’t returned either. And the mother plant Lost Horizons got theirs from, is closer to her than to me. Strange. Mine is fine, a bit overgrown with Leucojum foliage and an Arum that should have died down by now. The pup is doing ok too. I moved it to a spot under the Japanese Maple a few weeks ago. We’ll see if it gets enough light there. And if it survives... Sorry for the bad picture: I cannot get closer without moving a table full of cacti. Too lazy ;-)....See MoreAnyone else anxious for fall planting?
Comments (90)Plans , what are plans when you are in the woods. I am "anti plans". I do the meander with hori hori philosophy of planting. I like to think of what nature would do . Where would the different plants want to grow with a tad of impromptu on the spot aesthetic consideration thrown in . A clumping here and then wander to another outcropping and pleasurable red oak spot and more planting tumbling down the slope. Camp, What is your survival rate in your small seedling plantings the wild. I am hoping for better this winter. The nolina seedlings I put out this spring did horrendously. I found 3 out of 30 or so. But I was fearful of that when I put them out in April but I dug them in anyway. The ground was Dust dry all the way down deep because of how dry the winter was. I was hoping for May rains but they did not materialize. I almost held them back till fall, but then I would not have room to plant more seeds. The perennial garden dilemma..I need to shut up clean the kitchen and get back out to stabbing the ground....See Morenicholsworth Z6 Indianapolis
