Welcome flower! I read cubits too. I find the breeding information interesting and all the work that goes into it. I'm just growing mine for color, beauty, and just to make the world happy. I don't worry about the perfect bloom on any of mine because in my eyes they are all lovely! Your photo was certainly pretty!
Melissa: so how long does it take to plant all those tubers? Did your boyfriend help you?
Well I got my front bed done yesterday I weeded and planted and mulched w my compost. I'd say it's beautiful at this point but it's all small plants that have no blooms. So wait I do! I have to get my planters done today in between the storms predicted. It was cloudy all yesterday which made for decent planting. However zombie around the corner was chainsawing and that's a noise I loathe! It was another ash that was lost to that darn borer.
I live in a rural town and what gets me is the amount of people who don't plant anything! I'm a gal that loves her flowers and foundation plantings. I feel houses float without things growing. Most around me believe in rocks and maybe a few weeds. So I decorate my yard in hopes someone else is inspired to join me. Of course I have one neighbor that decorates with gargoyles. We all have something we love. (Of course his open winged one Is kind of creepy).
If the rains hold off I do hope to get my dahlias in but I have a feeling it won't be until later in the next week. More time for things to warm up I guess.
