I just finished making my bed by the road bigger and moved some Daylilies there and planted my Chrysanthemums from Bluestones. I snipped them back because they were budding just last week and it looks like I will have to do it again on a couple already! It says they get 36" tall, but does anyone know if that's only if left to go free?

chippies are active here, ground hog hole bombed by the active gardener here. He had a set look on his face. I don't know if Mr. chuck was home.

oooh like alligator tears .. never had that one

I'm not sure, Meredith, about the chrysanths....mine stay at about 2'.....

Okay thanks, hopefully mine will too!

I am on an Iris kick, I noticed other people have some that are blooming already and I am jealous, so I need to fix that and find some early ones!!

Love the pastel pinks with the green. The black one too-it's a good black flower.

I fixed those first 2 links, didnt realize it was posting the same one 3X!

LOL! Thought they were awfully similar! Just happens it is a color combination I love, so was happy to go there 3 times!

Dwarf irises are finishing here & intermediate (IB) have started. Last year's photo of 'Carriwitched' which has started to bloom now.

Striking colors!

very pretty

Nice!

Wow...love that iris, Lucy! Pixie, Garret gave me Heavenly Pink Fang for Mother's Day!

I had ordered some dwarf iris years ago, one was called Miss Meredith (you can see why I wanted it, right? ;) )
The other I think was apricot drops. The Miss Meredith bloomed once and I am pretty sure it died out. The apricot dops never bloomed. Last July I noticed my JM was taking over some of the Iris so I moved them to a dry sunny spot inside my pool fence. Guess what I noticed yesterday evening!




I was so happy since I had bought and planted them so long ago and never saw any flowers. I think the spot I had them was too shady. However my tall bearded Iris did bloom there. I am praying Miss Meredith will show up too!

I got my Lady Emma Hamilton from David Austin yesterday. It is planted, however you wouldn't know it since I buried the whole rose in order to have the grafted bud union at recommended depth! Can't wait to see that one bloom!

Last year I bought David Austin's Heathcliff for $10.00......came through the winter fine, so I'm hoping to see blooms soon!

I had a feeling there was another one that I never saw bloom, it is called Truly. Maybe that one will show up next year too! I checked my journal, it was 2009 when I planted them!

Swan Island Dahlias is having a 50% off sale...couldn't resist

Cherry Drop

I ordered about 10 dahlias from them this year....all are planted, but need rain to pull them up! Stopped at my friend's farm in NH....bought several salvias & a fuchsia....have to entice those hummers! Saw one the other evening, but he flew away quickly....
