Where I used to grow annuals around the edge of my garden I now poke in bush beans and onions. I'm trying a new onion this year, Blanca di Maggio from Pinetree. "Flattened disk-shaped bulbs" sounds very interesting.

Garlic is a great companion plant that goes with everything. Magnolialover knows what I'm talking about!

I grow garlic with the Japanese irises. Onions is an idea.

Oooooo nnnnooooooo not the Lily Trees again :*)

LOL

Are places still advertising them this year, or did they get enough grief from people they stopped?

Yup, I had to go look. Here's one. They enhanced it to look like a cross between a daylily and a lily, maybe a hemlily tree?

What a crock!!

Well, if you're not in the mood for the hemlily tree, they still have the red Japanese iris.

I don't even have to click on it to recall that one!!

Hey I've had OT Satisfaction for 3+ years and I want to know why it doesn't get 8 feet tall and have 20-30 blooms on it. I feel cheated!

Well, you didn't buy it from Gurneys!

I get it now. It varies depending on where it is purchased. Okaaay!

This is a collage of my second year Satisfactions. They barely made six feet.

This is a comparison of Gurneys and mine. When I pose for playboy I want the makeup artist who airbrushed the Gurneys photo to do mine.

Speaking of Playboy, here is some 'butterfly love'

Talk about aggressive!!

Your Satsfaction is beautiful, Jo. I still think Gurneys looks like a daylily cross.

How sweet is that butterfly pic? Baby butterflies here we come.

LOL

I am so happy now that the snow is going
