My newly added Oscularia caulescens got its first taste of full sun after being re-potted and is showing off her blooms nicely! I wonder how it will be in summer

I wish DD's friend would circle thru here every 2 weeks. Alas we havnt seen bokays for almost a year.
I still have amarillis blooming but the tulips,statis,lilies,larkspur,roses,carnations are really special.
When the prseident of Wegmans food stores died there were 17 arrangements,thats what was left after 21 arrangements were taken to nursing homes.

Wow, lucky you Jo Ann.

It always seems such a waste when such beautiful flowers are dumped at a cemetery.

There are many that dont go to the cemetary.Cemetraies dont want to be bothered with cleanup these days.
They usually go to nursinghomes or into the dumpster at the funeral home.

Sending them to nursing homes is nice, too.

Bob, this I do know. They are like Walters that have their own line of plants, and then sell others, also. Darwin isn't like Terra Nova that only does their own inventions. I'll let you know how they turn out. Thanks for checking into them.

Most of Terra Nova are there own , But the double Winter Jewels Hellebore they carry come from Northwest Garden Nursery.

Good to know. Thanks. I applied for a wholesale account with Northwest, but they needed a minimum of 250 per color. I couldn't sell that many if everyone in the town bought one, LOL.

I think they mostly sell to other wholesalers and I'm not sure but I think the doubles are exclusive to Terra Nova.

That is looking very good, tarev. I have not had that plant since I left CA but they are fast-growing. I think it will look great this summer.

lovely

The Salvia subrotunda I have re-potted last 06Feb has acclimated well and is showing off her early blooms:



Now if only I can catch whatever it is that is making a happy meal out of the other new one, the Salvia iodantha..it will be awesome!!!

Very nice! Is that growing outside?

Yup it is growing outdoors

I'm zone 7 but will have nothing like that until May.

I got it to further attract hummingbirds..so hopefully as more blooms come out the hummies will enjoy them

Wonderful plant.Good luck w/ HB's

I'm adding several new (new to me) ones this year. All will be started from seed (indoors and out)so we shall see my success (or failure).
ECHINACEA, POWWOW WILD BERRY
ECHINACEA, DOUBLE DECKER
ECHINACEA, PRIMADONNA WHITE
BALLOON FLOWER, FUJI BLUE
GAILLARDIA, DAZZLER- I grew a different variety last year and like that it blooms late in the season.
RED HOT POKER, FLAMENCO
GAYFEATHER, FLORISTAN VIOLET
LYCHNIS, OCCULATA ROSE CAMPION
VERONICA
FLAX, SAPHYR BLUE - I grew Scarlett Flax last year and not so many blooms but I did sow them late.
POPPY, QUEEN ALEXANDRA ORIENTAL-
HOLLYHOCK - I was back and forth on this one but decided to give it a try.
Chelone - Turtlehead - pink and white (received these from forum members)

I also bought some Cup and Saucer - aka Cathedral Bell- vine seeds but definitely they will not winter over. Thought they would be a good
one to try to grow along side the pergola.
I also grow daylilies from seed each year and they are well on their way. Canna seeds I'm experimenting with for the first time this year and so far I'm having a low germination rate

I'm still looking for Agapanthus seeds from online seed vendors.

My house will look like a nursery pretty soon
