Can anyone help me identify this orchid? I've had it for several years, never bloomed, then last summer I put it outside. When I brought it in, in November, it went into extravagant bloom and it STILL has all the flowers! I've lost my tag and don't…
Just an update on my orchids; nothing was in bloom by mid-summer so I put them all outside. We have a cat now, and lost the tree that housed the squirrels, so I was hopeful that they'd be left alone, and they were. Brought them in before the first f…
Thalictrum- I looked that up and YES!!!! That's it! Called Meadow Rue. THANK you, Diddiloo! It's very hardy, too. Comes back every year, spreading nicely!
The bottom leaves look very much like columbine, but it's one long stalk, leaves most of the way up and then the flowers at the top.
Thank you! That maple nearly died on us a few years ago, when we had snow so deep it was higher than the top branches. Then we had rain which turned the top few inches to ice... as it melted slowly from the bottom, it ripped every single branch off…
Haha, well, I don't know any secrets, just what has worked for me. When I got my first orchid, I bought several books and read a lot online, too, so I could get a general understanding of what to do. Don't buy something really exotic and difficult a…
Hi Christi,
First, when you bring them in, do you keep them in really nice, bright light? They need a LOT of light. I wouldn't stop watering them like that. They need the moisture or they'll shrivel up and die. I would recommend, in general, keepin…
Thanks! It is in bloom right now, too - this shot is older. I have misplaced the tag with the actual genus and species, but it's gotta be around here somewhere! This is my most consistent bloomer, twice a year, no matter what.
WOW. I like this.

Oh my! Your yard looks like something I'd see in a magazine! Great job!
Well I have several sources of water, 3 bird baths and our waterfall in our pond. Never had this problem before. I have always had hummers. Just wondering if the winter weather we had messed them up. Oh well maybe next year.
pretty!
very nice!
Cute
Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…
i love this kitty pic!
Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
What housework-What cooking-I am delegating so that I can go out in my gardens.Besides my gardens I am on my computer watching the lovely new photos come up on "latest activity" HELP I am soo hooked. Don't want to change. Don't want to give it up ei…
