Some day. We'll share a fat bowl and some catnip.
love love love you.Some day. We'll share a fat bowl and some catnip.
thanks fumbz, i love delphiniums; i only have 3 right now, but i think they look simply majestic when there's a whole bunch of them together. i love how the blues/purples change with the age of the blossoms, sort of like hydraengeas do.Sweet garden Mello Love the hues of purples on the delphiniums. My asiatic is on year 3 or 4 and has several arms now. I put it in the ground where we moved. Sadly, my cannas didn't bloom. Must not have properly 'vernalized' lol.
Looking good sweetie, and love the Japanese maple in the background.
I have roses where I live now. I have never been a rose fan, though they are beautiful. The thorns are what turn me away. Yours are beautiful though!
thank you for the prodding about taking pics, i was totally not thinking about it but it inspired me to finally clean the junk off the deck. i'm a bigger fan of oriental lilies because i like things that smell pretty, but the asiatics have WAY cooler colours. 'landini' (black) and 'lionheart' (black with yellow tips) are my next purchases, as soon as i figure out where to put them.They all look beautiful. I really love the asiatic lily. One day I'll get to have a flower garden.
thank you! it's 10.0 MP but it's a canon ELPH series so it has some sort of something-something tech that makes it seem like more (i don't know a lot about cameras)how many Megapixels is your cam? pictures look fucking great
thank you!well your a natural at photography
You're very welcome. Do you know anything about pollenless lilies? I love lilies but I can tell you when the neighbors lilies two houses down bloom without going outside so the idea of pollenless ones sound really neat.thank you for the prodding about taking pics, i was totally not thinking about it but it inspired me to finally clean the junk off the deck. i'm a bigger fan of oriental lilies because i like things that smell pretty, but the asiatics have WAY cooler colours.

i need to take more pics soon, i think the trillium is trying to flower.
*covers danny with kitty slobber*Love the floribundas. Peace, love and rock n roll. The red and white pattern is gorgeous.
as far as i know they're the result of isolating a recessive trait in asiatics, many of the bulb catalogues have them now, they're generally marked as such, and i don't think there's any special tricks to growing them. this page from The Lily Nook catalogue has a few, "Easy Salsa" looks an awful lot like 'Mango' at first glance. http://www.lilynook.mb.ca/Asiatics-e-l.html (sadly they don't seem to have a search function on their page)..... asiatics are perennial up to Zone 2 (which is -40C i think?), which means they're an easy grow pretty much anywhere. haven't really given them much thought but i should...... mr kitty has bad hay fever and this orange one doesn't seem to bug him, however, the fragrant orientals i had the last couple years drove him right up the wall. i've read that many people develop hay-fever-like symptoms to the fragrance itself as well. i usually try to remember to pick the stamens off as soon as they open because they stain like orange coal tar.You're very welcome.
