Joe Pye Weed has a reblooming sib in the ancestry of Humors of Whiskey. It would be worth getting some reblooming sibs too! Anything that reblooms in Mass. should rebloom in southern coastal Maine.

I am really from Massachusetts, and actually, from the same small town as Stephanie Markham; so hooray for Massachusetts! You guys rocked it!

Nothing like a great tune to start the day. Along side a beautiful iris.

Celia -- is your cat (in the avatar) yawning or complaining???

That's Pippin and he was complaining his lunch was late. "Stop fiddling with that thing and feed me!"

Siberians 'repeat bloom' rather than do the rebloom in the manner of the bearded.

We should mix them up and see what happens.

Linnea, I was born in Massachusetts too. Quincy, and my people were from Plymouth.

So Jan -- do you say Baaaah-ston instead of Boston?

No, Mary Ann. I lost my accent years ago. We moved away from MA to Florida when I was 12.
My father couldn't handle the cold winters any more.

Wow -- that's quite a switch -- from Mass. to Florida!!! How did you like it?

Hated it. It wasn't a happy move.
I do like California, and moved west to go to college. And stayed.

Maybe we should start a new thread about where we all are from!

That sounds like fun. Should we do it now, or wait until winter when we're DYING for some entertainment?

wait until Winter. I am running around like a chicken with no head!!!

I second waiting for winter. Snowy, cold days when all I have to look at is covered up will be a great time to do some serious chatting.

Yes, Winter is coming!

And after that? SPRING!!!

Spoken like a true gardener!!!

Gotta have cold to treat the seeds.

Love the pictures! Tom I wished I had asked you to add this one to my order
