A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Blooming Fine #15......................

They look just like my tulips Lynne....but I bought mine red because I love red. I ordered some pink daffs off Brecks a few years ago, and nope they are NOT pink---they are yellow.

See Loz,
We all have the same disease...........

I did the same, loz--and from Brecks as well. Mine came up yellow too.---but i think it was because I planted all my daffodils in a row---yellow then white then pink--all came up yellow--i think it had to do with the proximity.---but here in this yard thre is not the room to spread out my bulbs, so all I have is the few yellow daffs i brought from 'home'---they were valarie's, so they got picked for the move.

The experiment will be planting the red tulip bulbs I got as gifts on easter--they were red this year.(forced) so we shall see what color they come up as next year.-- --pink would be good-----

OH, NO !! Dodge---don't tell me we are all sick ????

Could Be.........
Happens to the best of us. :ding:

Billie's rose Bush

Pink Climbing rose



Yellow rose Bloom


Red rose Bloom Last year when planted was Lavender.


For the heck of it I took a Datura cutting I was given in a glass of water then into soil today it went into the ground with this big bloom on it.

Jimmy

Those are so beautiful/......I have to favor deep red ones.
DO they have a pretty smell?
Even the leaves are so nice and shiney.........

The datura is pretty also.Green thumber .....Aren't you .

Is that a double one/
I cant get mine to germinate..But think I have a brugs goind.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks dodge Billie planted that deep red one when we moved here told me to never prune it. Every year on date of her death (today)it blooms in full. This was the last rose she saw and smelled also. Diane brought the Angel trumpel cutting to work to show someone what it looked like last fall. I brought home put under my lights on my plant cart and it just went from there. I now know I can take cuttings of them and have fresh plants in the spring, glad you like it. Do you need any seeds I have a few (thousand).
To answer your question they have a wonderful sweet smell to them.

Jimmy I want some of the Purple angel trumpet seeds,, I guess I gave all mine away,, I can't find them anywhere ,, I looks a few weeks ago cuz I wanted an early start,,

I can't believe you have one blooming already I'm soooooooooo jealous!!

Beautiful roses Jimmy and Diane!

I love the entrance walkway to your door, Diane - it's so serene and welcoming!
And the rose for Tonya - so sweet!

Billie's rose is very special too, Jimmy - so glad it continues to bloom for you each year.

:ding:

That is a nice story. I arent into roses but yours are beautiful.

THanks for the seed offer.. I still have datura doubles seed here.. I will keep you in mind if I ever do.

I have just 2 rose bushes , orange and half a blue........But they are pretty till the japanese beetles arrive.. My leaves are never that nice.
Good job.

Diane got them bagged for you per you PM request.

Thanks for you kind words Lynn and dodge. Lynn your right it is very special to me.

Beautiful roses both of you....Jimmy yours look so nice and healthy and the leaves are so green....and Diane, yours look so pretty framing your entryway like that. Love all of them.

I took this today, it made me think of Lynne and her lack of pink tulips. I didn't even know I had any pink ones so I was surprised.



Couldn't pass up sharing this beauty of a tulip.....these doubles just bloom gigantic blooms!

Very pretty everyone! I love the double tulips Loz! I have never had them! I will have to look for them!!!

I think I ordered them from Brecks. Let me see if I can find the link and I'll PM you.

Yep Scarlet Majesty Tulips from Brecks...if you look at the picture on their site they are huge!

I looked!! They are huge! I love them! Just ordered some Obviously they won't ship till fall but I couldn't wait because I don't want to forget or have them sold out.

That's funny that you ordered them already. But hey, it'll be a nice surprise because you'll probably forget you'd ordered them by the fall. I just cut a few of them and put them in some new small bud vases I bought the other day.

I knew I would forget about them if I wait so I figured I may as well do it now. There were a few other things I wanted too.

Very pretty tulips Loz.

You know I shovelled the snow off of the corner of my flower bed and the daffodils are up an inch under all the snow. Very strange.

tamara how deep is the snow there? Glad you're finally melting down.

I still have about 5 feet everywhere Belinda.

well 5 ft beats 12 ft---in my book anyway---

have a good day---

That pink tulip is to die for.

Am I boring you all with my tulip pictures?
The flowers seem to get better every day!

Pretty pics Lynne....I for one love tulips, you can't bore me ever with pics of them, or any flower really.

I'm not bored.

me either--I especially LOVE the red/pink tulips, Lynne

Oh wow, I love the two-tone variety also.

Love the photos of the tulips........

U cannot BORE us here with photos ......We love seeing what the person on the other end is doing.....Looks like your doing GREAT.....

Thanks for sharing.

I'd post some more of mine but loz said they were too big and I can't get photo bucket to size them down

so I guess if you want to see them you'll have to look on the link under my name

5 feet, OMG...I'd be so crazy by now I don't see how you can stand it.

we went from 60 temp to 80 temps in the last 2 weeks here, been getting pretty warm by the after noon, I'd settle for days like these all the time

You aren't boring me with the tulip pics Lynne! I don't have anything blooming yet so it is nice to see others!!

Snow for tomorrow...about 6 inches they say. Keep those pics coming, it's nice to be reminded of what spring is really supposed to look like

Photobucket stinks for resizing pictures correctly. I have lots of problems with them.

Here are a few I took in at moms today!

Begonia



Basket of Gold Perennial Allysum

Wow, now that's some beautiful spring colour.

I'm going to get some of that basket of gold Allysum, and plant it at the bottom of my Sunflower patch, with a mid height plant thrown in too. I can't wait to plant stuff.

What's the one with the purple flowers? Is it a bush?
Just beautiful!

Shoot, my brain isn't functioning. I know what it is--it's pretty common I just can't think of it and I KNOW it. I'll think of it eventually.
