New season, new blooms
Comments (21)ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! The first one probably came from seed from me!! (laughing), the rest obviously were yours! There are some absolute beauties here and the next to the last one is to die for!! Are these all coming from the same person you sent these seeds to as I see a huge greenhouse facility where ever they are...there are varieties there that should be in cultivation!! They must be jumping for joy! As I said before, the cybisters and species are the way to go!! I'm turning a little green as I wait and wait and wait.... Donna...See MoreNew season blooms

Comments (10)As we start a new week, with special meaning for all Americans....go Navy Seals....I know that we are not supposed to be happy at the death of anyone, but I not sorry about the death of such a monster! I finished another project yesterday, a very quick candy corn and pumpkin swag. Will post pictures when I string them and add the cloth, they take up to much room when they are complete, so that will come later. Worked all afternoon in the yard and got my strawberry plants cleaned out from around the pond and removed a ton of old plants. They are beginning to bloom so maybe spring is here. I really wanted to plant a garden this year, the cost of veggies are so high, but by the time I pay someone to till the ground, add all of the things my clay ground lacks and then buy the plants or seeds and then pay someone to weed and all of the other things that it takes to grow a garden...well the cost is right back up there with the stores. I planted carrots back in the day and the ground is so hard that they were about 3" round and 1" long.... Well, it's time to start painting again, doing a pumpkins with daisy's on the front, or at least I am trying to paint daisy's. Take Care All!!!!!

Comments (29)Carol, can't take any credit for this one! I must thank the bees and the supplier for leaving the hips on the bare root rose that I ordered. What I do know now is that Stephen is a good hip parent and the seeds have good germination. Judy, about 11 weeks. I had the seeds in the fridge before sowing in the beginning of Jan and had the first SR seedling bloom under lights the first week of April....See MoreFrancesco Switzerland ZH, 8a
3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoAnd another one is blooming for the very first time. The bud looked like the ground color of the bloom would be like a creamy yellow with red sparks. When it was opening. i discovered that it looks so much different then i imagined.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoBeautiful bloom, Francesco! Here is a surprise from a KO_59 seed you sent me that's supposed to be peach. It's WHITE double. Love it ... Thank you.
All of the KO_Super Star of Tomorrow seeds produced only single pink or red blooms. I give these away to friends, family, and neighbors. So far, the same is true with the KO_Touching Heart seeds. I am waiting for the last one to bloom with my fingers crossed! The KO_Variegated Red and KO_Apollo seeds never germinated.Be well and enjoy your brief leave from your military duties. Sending a hug.

last yearSome of my Plants I wantedt to share how they are doing:
That one was supposed to be an Yellow Earth from KO but as it bloomed the first time i discovered that it is a white with a hint of a creamy yellow hint. I like that one a lot...:-)
My Mini Red which is also blooming twice a year. Most of my Mini's are not consistent and keep losing their leaves but this one is doing great even it also lost some of the old eaves as youcan see.
And some random pics after watering my plants under the rain ;-)
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
GreetingsFrancesco

last yearHello Everyone
Has anyone an idea why this plant produces so many buds but never opens them up? They will fall off after a month or so and they can get very big. When i open them up after they fell off the plant they are brown within. Any sugestion what this plant needs? It has started to produce buds 4-5 years ago and never managed to open one bud. At first i bothered a lot. Right now i dosnt mind to much as i still think that „one day“ it will and the flower must be marvelous. But if someone has an idea, i dont mind to try.
