I realized we don't really have this category yet so...
Wanted to share that I purchased several clematis! I'm very excited about a couple of them,
one is a shade tolerant clematis called 'Cezanne' and the other is originally found in Tibet and it is called Clematis tibetana ssp. vernayi var. vernayi 'Orange Peel' and is supposed to grow little round blooms of yellow that open to orange ! Leaves are bluish green...doesn't that sound pretty!
Can't wait...of course I'll share photos when ready!

Greg,
Did you see Cheif Mike is going to have a clem. co-op?

They sound cool,pictures please when they come.

No I didn't but now I've made my purchases for good or ill I will be very happy once the plants get here! Then I won't think about the fact that I didn't really get a deal - except that several were somewhat unusual!

He may not have those but you could look see what he orders? Yes, they sound unusual and they will be beautiful. Thing about co-ops is sometimes the plants can be small and they don't bloom for a year or two.

That's good to know for future Are you looking forward to spending lots of money - I mean getting lots of plants at the Flower/Garden show?? I'm hoping to find some succulents that I've been thinking about getting from the web, if they have them there I won't need to have them shipped! Also maybe something for my shadey part of the yard!

I just love to look. I was hoping to see a few Semps? I want a Chilean Fire Tree. Embothrium coccineum.

I hope you're all taking cameras with you. Take pictures of the plants for our database and pictures of each other for our enjoyment.

Sure am!!

Good idea on photos for the database, I've never thought to do that.

Its gonna be fun! Thanks for the idea Zuzu of camera! Better than my phone!!

Free is so good! I was walking my dogs behind our Safeway store yesterday and saw this.



At first I walked away thinking no they would not get rid of that. Then that little voice said , go ask you dip, all they can say is no. Well first they said no floral uses that, sad but that's fine. The dogs and I started walking away and the next thing I know the guys is yelling for me to come back. I scored, things like this never happen to me. I just love it.

SCORE !! What will you put in it?

Not sure, was thinking some of my dragon wing, coleus, and other things from my greenhouse. Sempervivum? You have any ideas? Thinking just plants for the spring, summer and Fall. Its wood and don't want it to rot to fast.

Spring, that's a great score indeed, love it!!

Very cool!! And yes, you want to make sure it stays with you for as long as possible!

Way too cool. I'd have it lined with fabric and have all my semps and sedums planted in it in a flash. You lucky person you!

I agree, that cart is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! So many possibilities with it. I love it so much, I'd pay $$$ for it....I wonder where one can get something like that? Perfect for my new potting shed (coming to my yard in May.......) I told my husband I'd have another baby for him in exchange for a potting shed. lol. I'll do anything for a potting shed!!! 14x16 with a ladder, loft, dormer window, french doors. I cannot wait.

Koskoo25, your potting shed sounds like it will be wuuuuunderful! So much space with light from the French doors and window. Can imagine all the fun you will have setting it up.

I was sitting on the front porch and this thing ran across the driveway with a mouse in it mouth.
