What have you bought so far ?? Part 6
Seems that every plant will eventually get its own forum! I want one for poison ivy.
The first time I saw PI was a couple days ago.
I just saw a clump of it before. I'll have to spray it.
One of the ACE Hardware Stores is across the street from my chiropractor, so after I was being adjusted this morning . . . this followed me home!
Torenia 'Yellow Moon'. Much prettier in person than in photos. (Sorry mine is fuzzy.)
Isn't that also called "Wishbone plant"?
Ge looks like some great buys ... I have some of that same coral bell.. they are one of the best i have
looking good Candyce!!!!... such the proud mama!
Miss these in the picture were grown from seed last year... yes they can get big... I just keep pinching them and they go nuts
Sue looks real nice ... love those colors..... and yes Ge also called wishbone
Everyone's coleus look great - especially after my partial coleus tragedy. (If coleus disasters counts as tragedy.)
JoAnn-my niece has taken me to Wayside's several times, & I've always found something to take home! Hope I can get there in Aug. I was notified my Bluestone order is on the way--can't even remember what I ordered--always nice to be surprised! amy, composting is tricky in an apt. house, but maybe you can hang the bag in the area behind the garden--wasn't there a patch of woods? The coral bells are favs of mine---have about 15 varieties!
I got my Foxfire co-op order in yesterday! I only ordered 3 hostas. 'Foxfire Wham Bamm' 'Silver Threads and Golden Needles' and 'Pathfinder.' The first 2 are teeny tiny 1 eyed divisions, 'Pathfinder' is a really nice sized one, I think there are about 4 or so eyes on it...maybe 5!
Had a good time at Wayside Robindog. Planted everything yesterday in the cold.
Mail at 3:00oclock brought a box of lilies from B&d Lilies,replacements from October that I didn't think I was going to get.
Planted them this morning , and had to make a bed for the DL's I am wipped.
Chicago Firecracker
and three "Starling" supposed to be brown.
Ooh--brown DL's--sound interesting! I should have daylilies from Olalie blooming this year---hope they're as nice as the photos. Hope to get some plants in this pm IF we don't get rain like we have every afternoon--getting mighty tired of rain & cold!
These pics are from B&D LIilys catalogue
Starling
Chicago Firecracker
I hear you, ROBIN, I mean I read you. My fingers and toes are still cold.
I went outside, as the thermometer says that it's 61 degrees out there. I managed to become the lunch entree for the no-see-ums again. Did as much weeding as I could stand, maybe about fifteen minutes' worth. Now, I'm indoors for my own lunch. I sure hope those bugs are satisfied!!!
high country gardens order came today... not looking so hot... wonder if it was cold somewhere in transit
http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/t/onewish1/9310/
Cold snap or maybe just stressed. I had some daylilies come and the tops were yellow. Good thing they had nice big healthy roots or i'd be leaving some negative feedback!!
yeah I wrote them just to let them know... hope they bounce back though.
here is my parks order that came today... one 6 pack was overturned in the box but still looks good
http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/t/onewish1/8939/
Those look great, very healthy!
I am actually surprised how good they look
ordered from Forestfarm Nursery
Buddliea weyeriana Honeycomb
cost as much to ship as the plant.
Just havn't seen anything like it here.
yeah they are expensive... my honeys mom has a yellow one...not sure which it doesn't do very well.... hope yours is better

Oh Oh hope I havn't made a big mistake.
I'll have to go post on my thread about mistakes and regrets in the garden.
They do love sun don't they?
yes they love sun.... she has 3 planted in the same area.... the yellow just doesn't thrive and bloom like the other 2
Thanks for the info, I'll keep an eye on it and won't beat myself up if it was a culture mistake.
she might just have a bum one.... might not be the same as that one either.... hope it's beautiful though
we all make mistakes.... that's how i learn most of the time
;)
That has been the most freeing concept I have learned here in DG
Been up since 5:00AM
Gunna crash soon

I might have to put the monarda I planted last year in the regret forum.... that i grew from seed for honeys mom.... seems to be making me nervous how it multiplied already.... I think the humming bird mint that I grew from seed is also going to go in a container .... it smells so good... but if it spreads like mint.... oh boy
Monarda does spread fast, but I like it.
is it easy to pull... if it gets out of hand?.... or is it a diggy removal?
I've had it 2-3 years and so far it's easy. I moved it last fall, and don't see any where it used to be.
I have Honeycomb buddleia. Not nearly as prolific as davidii, but still nice. I have lost some monarda over this winter. Probably too wet.
ok that's good to know.... now i am not as worried
the whole problem started when I hardened off my seedlings and all the tags wore off... had no idea if it was monarda or the pink turtle head.... figured i had a 50/50 shot.... picked wrong i think... by the way it looks i think it's the monarda i planted in the ground.... oh well
here is the turtle head

Alison---my order from High Country arrived 2 days ago, & it didn't look good, either--one salvia had a whole section dried up--everything else was puny! My order from Bluestone arrived the same day---beautiful plants----the salvia very lush. No comparison. However, I will plant everything, & we'll see what happens.
this is the first time I am disappointed in them... I am actually shocked they were so tiny and beat up
I go to a very nice nursery called Helderledge close to my home. I'm lucky because it enables me to get rare and/or nice plants at the same cost of mail order (so I've found). The plants are also nice and large.
So far I purchased:
White Baneberry
Jack-In-The-Pulpit
Asian Twinleaf
Japanese Cimicifuga
Green Envy Coneflower
From Dutch Bulbs...
Cimicifuga Hillside Black Beauty - growing well from roots
White Feather Hosta - growing well from a few leaves and roots
Mouse Plant - not growing
Candle plants - not growing
I'm going shopping tomorrow for more! :-)
you just reminded me about the candle flowers I planted 3 years ago.... they only send up a leaf or two every year.. haven't seen a bloom yet... so much for invasive
