Hope you find them all, Glen. Meryl is sure pretty!

Anyone saw the "NOVA" special on "PBS" on four billion years in Australia?? I believe it is a series that they have going on now. Very interesting.

Mike, there is a Wild Australia starting here next week. Is it that one?

Glen, I believe this is a newer one that showed a lot of the pre-historic animals and mammals and how Australia was formed according to the show. They show a teaser trailer of some of the unusual animals found there and so on. I caught the last fifteen minutes of the show.

Ann, HIGH ENDEAVOUR is in the US. I think I know of one collector there with it.

Mike. I will see what I can find. I might have seen it. I think the presenter was a palaeontologist. If so, it was excellent.

Australia's First 4 Billion Years. Caught snatches of it, Mike, looks like a good series.

Oh how cool! Thanks for the link, dormantsrule. And thanks for bringing up the subject, Mike.

It's always good to share useful information. Glen, OC, IR and AF all said to tell you hello.

Indian Ripple



August Flame

That' Indian Ripple' is really nice.

Well it looks like the flowering run is over. I cannot see a single scape trying to flower for August.

early days yet

Glen - When is Spring in Australia?

Becky, officially, in 21 days.

That's a gorgeous rose in your avatar Glen. Is it's name Flame? And is it a ragdoll rose?

Ann, Crittergarden just asked about it.

It is Rosa BODERLINE 'Yellow'

http://www.pma.com.au/view_pla...

It is supposed to be a dwarf variety but the plant is 6' high. It may need a trellis soon. (I suppose I was supposed to prune it.)

I love it too. The yellow colour it quite outstanding.

Glen - Oh joy! Welcome Spring! We are heading into Fall here on this side of the world.

More questions out of curiosity .... What is the average length of your "winter"? And what is the lowest temperature that you get during Winter? And the highest temperatures you get during Summer?

I've always been fascinated with Australia. I used to scuba dive and always wanted to dive the Great Barrier Reef. It is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. Your ocean life is amazing! If I ever left the USA, it would be Australia I'd want to move to!

Your Borderline rose is gorgeous! I love yellow roses, but for some reason have a real challenge growing that color of blooming bushes. Cinco de Mayo is the happiest rose bush in my yard. The blooms change color over a few days. But I covet a yellow rose bush!

Glen, we would all die for your long bloom season. Hold your head up!

Mike, but from the sounds of things, my climate here in FL is pretty similar to Glen's, so I have no excuse to be without daylily blooms nearly year 'round either.

Must admit, though, I've always planted them on the north side of the house so they are shaded in winter. Figured this gives them a little bit more of a rest than if they were out in blazing Florida sun all year.

But since I got so many new daylilies this summer, I may try a few out in the south facing front bed to see how they fare. Seeing Glen's year round bloomers, I'm guessing not all daylilies need a dormant period.
