I planted some white this year .. not as nice .. sort of dirty pale pink .. can send you seeds of the pink one .. once they form.. the pink one has been in a container for years.. not sure I would put it in the ground .. may take over I am thinking

Sure, would love some seeds.....good idea about the pot! I have a shady porch that would be perfect....I found a glad, face down in the weeds....thanks to Nicki, no doubt....anyway, looked good enough to enter in fair....put it in ice chest with the other arrangements.....2 blooms fell off, & stem snapped....now I have a dwarf glad entered! Of course, someone had brought a long, perfectly formed dark pink.....I like to drop off my plants early....otherwise, I get too depressed looking at the competition! I'll be looking closely at the roses.....only one had been entered as of 6:30 last night, & it hadn't really opened up.....I guess everyone's roses suffered this year....too hot & dry....

Get TB iris 'Immortality'. It might fall bloom in time another year.

Yeah it was a messed up year for sure.. good luck with your entries!!..

I was thinking I needed an immorality for this house.. love the surprise blooms

I have Immortality....hasn't rebloomed....I also ordered 4 rebloomers last year.....none rebloomed, but the drought, I'm sure, has affected all the plants......

I've had rebloomers in October so keep the faith.

Also they make take a year to settle in. but you are correct, they usually need extra water.

The fair was quite crowded today, but I did win a few ribbons.....A red for my annual collection, a white for my perennial collection, a blue for my blue salvia, a white for my single marigolds, & a blue for my nicotiana....it's the smoky plum one I love....won some ribbons for crafty things, so I came home with $30.00 ....which of course, I'll spend on more flower seeds!

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only the $30, but the feeling the garden was not so troubled.

Well, not too much competition!

other people had garden problems also with the drought?

Got your glad a little late.. congratulations on the seed money!

Oh, that's a beauty! I have to hold some back next summer & plant later, just for the fair......Yes, Lucy, I think the drought affected the number of entries this year....they were way down, except for cosmos, marigolds & zinnias....there were tons of those entered! Guess I was lucky to get a third for my marigolds....Not many dahlias this year....usually that's the most popular entry.....

I am thankful for all my drought tolerant plants this year. Even some of them aren't looking very good this year.

Good for you Marilyn, that's awesome!

Thanks, Ronnie...I'm already looking at seeds for next year's fair......guess I'm addicted!

Try some sedum for next year? Perhaps Immortality iris will perform for you.

I had sedum....didn't enter any.....many, many folks did....can't believe my Honey Perfume rose is loaded with blooms....last week, tight buds only!

But now you can enjoy it.

True....took a bud into art class today & painted it....well, flower only...will do the foliage next week!
