I was so excited to find the yellow knockout roses for my summer patio pots. I have two of them in two different gardens and the the all summer bloom and fragrance it going to be great this summer to have them on the patio.

Everybody seems to only sale the red and pink knockout and they are not fragrant and red and pink colors are not my favorite flower color.

This was a combo I had a couple of years ago and this tea rose did not survive the winter in the pot. Yellow looks good with this canna. I have been able to keep the knockout roses alive in pots for years before I have to plant them in the garden.

Ibis. The first time I saw them was at my local Nursery. It caught my eye because as I walked past I smelled the wonderful fragrance. I picked up two of them because it was their beginning of the year 75% off sale I got two of them for under 10.00.

Lowes have them this year but they are in these body bags. I think because Knockout roses are really just a flowering bush and pretty darn hardy they should do good.

It is called Sunny Knockout.

It is a great feeling to even look at the photo. I can just imagine have those colors surrounding you in the garden.

I posted this over in the Bromelaid forum but I use them in my summer pot set up.

I got it at the grocery store. It was cheaper than a steak. Hilarious! I usually do not buy them at the grocery store because they have the green ones with the little spikes and they are not my favorite. I like the big ones but this small size one will probably look good on my Bromelaid tree.

Lynn,
I found a good large tree limb and I am treating it so it will be ready this Spring to attach them. I think I have the pot I am going to use to support the limb.

I am going to do a detailed instructions with pics like I did for the styrofoam pot.

So excited. Two weeks ago I thought this Primula was a gonner.
I see a wee bloom starting.
Primula Marginata Pritchards variety

Hurray! Spring is here! Those are beautiful JoAnn. I gave up on semps, they don't grow here.

My succulents are still looking good, but my container grown amaryllis are blooming again.
