Will many roses be blooming end of Feb?
Comments (3)Not in my garden here in the San Jose area because everything will have been pruned by then. We are technically northern California but it's actually right in the mid-point of the state. Most California gardeners prune their roses in the winter. I think that is true in the south as well. March brings lots of fresh growth, and perhaps a few of the very earliest roses. April and May are at the height of the spring flush. Further north of me the best months would be May and June. The Descanso Gardens and the Huntington Botanical Gardenare both near LA. I looked at the Descanso what's-in-bloom calendar for February and it says Camellias, magnolias, cherry trees and daffodils. They show May for roses. Hmmm, I would have expected April as well. The Huntington has a similar list, with a number of Australian plants added. They do list roses for both April and May, as I would expect. You'll find wonderful plants to enjoy if you come then, but not so much roses. Rosefolly...See MoreShell Ginger bloom in Feb?
Comments (3)Thanks for the reply Steve. I think I'm agreeing with you as to the cause of the flowering. The plant was rootbound to the point of busting the plastic pot, so I'm sure its grateful for the space and new soil to grow in. The flowers are so amazing in detail, the colors almost look painted on the interior. I've even noticed that minute amounts of ginger-scented nectar are collecting on the rubber tree below. This afternoon I noticed that a second tall spike in the back had also developed a flower bud. I manged to angle is so that the bloom will be within eye-level once it opens. I've just decided to put the Curcumas back into the sun and start watering them around the first of march...Likewise with my plumeria and an as-yet unnamed ginger which is dormant for the winter. Anywho, thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Peace, Nate...See Moreseedlings started in Jan- Feb 08 blooming today
Comments (22)I just wanted to thank everyone who posted here for their kind words and encouragement. Bruce and Tanya, I'm really looking forward to seeing those pics of your most recent blooms when you find the time to get them up. I really liked the the pics you posted a week or so back. Those looked SUPER. It is a lot of fun to see seedlings putting on their first show, when other DL's have finished or are reblooming if you're lucky. I can't wait to see how these DL's look in their 2nd year.....hopefully enough of them will survive our wonderful Western PA winter. Linda...See MoreNEW: mnf~ frugal feb
Comments (151)The Olive Garden was great! And I didn't even have to pay for it, which somehow made it even better! LOL! My roommate treated me to lunch/dinner, but I paid for the bottle of wine I wound up bringing home. It was totally cool, I had myself a small wine-tasting event before the salads came around, which was very cool! And, want to know what makes today even better? I did some winter-sowing, oh yeah! I used 3 72-cell miniature greenhouses, and now they're outside waiting on warm weather so they can start sprouting. I did a tray of painted and african daisies, a tray of tomatoes, and a mixed tray of hollyhocks, devil's claw, roses, rhubarb, and something I keep forgetting! Bump pretty much stayed away once he realized what I was doing, but Stella "helped" the whole time, giving me opinions, telling me which seeds to plant next, and splattering me with water. Yep, she's a gardener! And, speaking of Bingo cards, mine isn't broken, but it looks like it's stuck in first gear with only the one number being on it. Who's ready for another number??? Peace. -Dan...See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
