I discovered that my camera has a macro lens today, and was amazed at how clear this picture came out. The flower is in sad shape, but I like the picture anyway.

A bird must have dropped it there for sure - I've never grown any petunias anywhere near there! Also noticed one growing in a stack of pots on my small patio under the deck today. I'll have to transplant them into a pot so they can hopefully make a nice plant. Not sure what that daylily is called, Sheri. I think I have the tag in the garage - will look for it later today when the sun is up, and I am more awake!

And if they get water they can become a rampant weed here. I'm fairly sure that could be so for Jiffy as well. If I plant out a one gallon poted trumpet vine in spring (winter) it will be taller than a house and blooming well before the end of summer. The only reason they haven't taken over the countryside around here is lack of water. ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

Re: Blooming Fine 21.......... Tina #222663 Jul 19th, 2008 at 06:36 PM loz Unregistered loz Unregistered I ordered a trumpet vine once and it was DOA, after researching I was sorta glad because I read that it's considered very invasive. They are so pretty though--very nice pictures Lynne.

It was exactly the fifth year for me - on Amy's birthday in August as a matter of fact. I guess it is a regional thing though. Still not sure what Jiffy meant by having more time than the rest of the world?

Re: Blooming Fine 21.......... #222706 Jul 19th, 2008 at 07:42 PM Jiffymouse Unregistered Jiffymouse Unregistered what i meant, was like tina, i have more time in my year to work on my yard. our winter is barely 6 weeks most of the time, and that isn't straight through, but interspersed over a 4 month period, so even in the "dead of winter" i can work on my yard some in good 50-60* days. and because i know how invasive they can be, i want to have the yard ready for where i will put them in a pot with a trellis. don't want anything else invasive, the carolina jessamine and wild grapes are eating my yard alive!

I have the trumpet vines growing in a garden on the side of my shed. They've gotten big enough to grow over the shed, which was my intent, but we do have to cut back the front each year so it doesn't cover the doors. It seems to be well contained inside that garden - I've only spotted a few runners in the grass to the side of the garden over the many years I've had the vines.

Last night, at about 10ish, someone was walking 2 dogs and allowed them to stop and do that - I coughed at the window to let them know I saw them - they did not MOVE!!! I coughed again, and they slowly moved on. What is wrong with these people??? I know I have complained here about this before, and people responded with "maybe they just don't know any better?" I say that is rubbish!!! It is common decency to know not to let your animal go on someone else's property - let alone on their flowers!!!!!!! These are adults, not kids! We don't have street lights here, so I guess they thought it didn't matter if they did it in the dark this time?!? A sign won't help - as I've said before... people here are only out for #1 - themselves!!! Next time I am going to run out there and confront them - it's just not right! (I would have last night, but I was already in my nightie!) Sorry for the rant, but something's work here!

Re: Blooming Fine 21.......... Sunflowers #225880 Aug 3rd, 2008 at 06:46 AM loz Unregistered loz Unregistered No, it's unfortunately an annual. But my local nursery always has a "deal" table where they pick certain things and sell them cheap. I got those in a huge pot for $3 each. And I love morning glories, but I really wanted something different on that trellis. And I'd never come across Thunbergia in the nursery before, so I had to have it. I didn't know how high it would grow but it's making it all the way up there now. Sorry about the cords stuck thru the trellis, Mark wrapped the pool cord around there. If you see a plant right between the grass and trellis, sorta behind the grass there---it's a tomato plant. Popped up all by itself so I just left it there.
