What's Blooming Outside Your Door, Part 2

OOOOh cool,
I thought It was 'Peaches and cream' I'm so trying to keep up with names but not doing a good job of it, LOL
Work Work I guess has my mind.
Thank you so much, I would of classified it wrong.
Are you a late niter like me?

Hi Tills, you're welcome! Sometimes very much yes I'm a night owl, sometimes not so much... tonight I'm falling asleep at the keyboard-I spent most of the day moving dirt and amending soil. So it's off to bed with me tonight.... yawwwnnn......

I didnt get to say good nite, my server went off line. so now I will say good morning to you.

Blossoms on my Japanese maple are pretty.

The tree came with the house & I have no idea what the correct name
is. I could take a full picture if you think you could identify it.

Iris are starting to replace the tulip & daffodil show of previous weeks. These dutch Iris are very nice this year.. early I think but nice.

Man Rachel! You have iris blooming! My big purples are budding but thats it. Your bleeding hearts looks really nice! I want to find some of the golden so I can have the Holy Trinity of Bleeding hearts (golden, white and red).

Rachie... do the bleeding hearts need full shade?

No - mine are in full sun - they do well if you provide rich, moist soil for them. You can grow them in the shade, but they won't flower as well. High, dappled shade is probably the easiest way to grow.

Mine are in full shade and doing well.They might not get as many flowers, but in my shade bed they are there as fillers. Discriminate on lookers. The arisaemas and podophyllums are the main show. They are just late arivers.

My bleeding hearts are planted under one of my Madrone in dappled shade and they love it. Gordon when you find the yellow ones pleassseee let me in on your secret supplier :0)

Hey all, I found mine at Heidis, when we went.

He's so small I am worried about loseing it in the beds.

Rach's what was the name of the grass like plant, that had the little blublets, It is planted by the steps.

Mine love the shade and flower beautifully. Better than my wife's. (well that is my opinion) They love the shade and heavy soil of my north side.

I just found this.

Lol Tilly.. thats why all the threads have been so quiet lately... everyone went shopping! :o) Myself included... I just bought 4 rooted brugs on there last weekend...whoo hoo!

Ok I'm slow LOL
Thats what happens when you work late at night, I'm always behind the times. And as is my yard.
Have a bloom on A iris from Pix.
You did not see the weed.

what weed?! LOL!

First rose from my Valentines Rose tree :o)

My poppy's have turn into monsters they are 4' high and 3' wide, I started them from seed. "Carole lookout" they have gotten so big.

And one is ready to bloom. About time LOL

To collect the laudnum from the poppy they used to run 'without clothing' through the poppies and then scrape off the skin to begin preparation for the poppie's chemical. Tils lets not get ideas.

:o( I'm in Cali and my poppies STILL have no blooms!

Steve I think this is the wrong type of Poppy or am I wrong? If thats the case, how do I harvest LOL "NOT"

I do not know anything about illegal plants and narcotic issues.

Anyway not going to happen in my yard, want, know part of it, I will pull them out by the roots and burn them. LOL And I wouldn't know how to harvest them anyway. LOL

One, which poppys do you have?

lol, I have red poppies (seeds I planted) and just the regular ca poppies... not sure which ones sprouted... but no flowers or buds yet... I keep checking them every day!

I checked my nasturnium last night...no buds. today I come home and there are big flowers on them. so either I'm going blind... or this heat got to them today! LOL! 93* UGH! SEND SNOW!!!!

Tils, I think the opium poppy is the annual one anyway-aren't yours perennials?

Mine aren't doing too well. I think I sowed the seeds too late. I think they look like they have two leaves now. I'm guessing they won't be blooming along with the lilies I planted them with...oh well...

:o) I just read the DG article for today on bleeding hearts :o) I never knew there were so many!

Till's - I will try and remember to look at the tag tomorrow for the grass with bulblets. I'm looking for the http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1391/

oneanjl, my oldest daughter lives in CA (Orange County) and has been experiencing those gawdawful temps, too - she hates it . . . wants to move back here so badly! She would definitely agree with your plea for snow!

8 days later. In full bloom.

The other 2 furthest from the house finally starting to bloom.

Yay. Finally!! Is hot weather forecasted for you guys, as well as the rest of us on the other sides of the mountains?

ugh! 105* today.. supposed to drop to 90* tomorrow.
Really bad hot winds all day today... and I work in the Oakland Hills :o( scary!
we havent had any rain in months! :o(

Ugh, 105!
Hey, how's this for weird-we're supposed to be 94 here tomorrow, too. Pretty weird to be matching the inland Bay temps around here, I tell ya! Ooh, that is scary about the lack of rain. Do winds increase fire danger in the Bay area like they do near LA?

yes, thats exactly what happened in the Oakland Hills fires... and I work in insurance, so my mind immediately goes to 'losses-mode' :o( I hope there are no fires this year... have clients in sandiego area too... I hate when people lose everything.
