Since there's hardly anyone here anyway, I'll posts pics here.
Comments (24)Sherry, my MJP is doing very well. She's still small, and I've had only one bloom from her, but it was lovely. Cream and apricot and pink all washed together. She seems quite healthy and is currently putting out new growth - I think she is just a quiet little aristocrat who doesn't take giant strides, just little dainty steps. Another small rose that I got even later last year is really leaping ahead, and has given two flushes already (only two blooms each flush, though!). But I don't hold that against MJP - they are just different from each other. I am also facing the problem of less sun this year (the trees have grown), so I have been moving them all around for maximum exposure. Also I'm repotting the ones most in need of it, one at a time (I'm not known for my stamina), and this has helped the ones that have been done. In the ground is not an option for me, but it sure sounds like it helps! Your SdEV is exquisite. Laura...See MoreLithops reborn! (otherwise, a disturbing image...)
Comments (3)This has actually happened to me also and serves as a reminder that they are tougher than you think. I would just stay of water and let it absorb the old leaves into the new body. Good job CG!...See MoreCan anyone help me with it? What do I have here?
Comments (18)Maggie, That pic does look like a baby peony and it is very cute! Now I cannot be 100% sure because I've personally not grown them from seed, but I've grown many plants from seed and that is what I would imagine a baby peony to look like. :) Your beds look tidy and pretty much full. In other words, the perennials you have planted will probably fill in the space in those beds, if not perhaps outgrow them eventually. I think the small peonies that you've circled look like they are already spaced pretty well. They are not fast growers so they won't overwhelm that space any time soon. They might be fine where they are? Maybe move the one that's closest to the big peony a bit farther out. My thoughts as for why you would have seedlings suddenly germinate. Seeds can lay dormant in the soil for many years. This is sometimes called the "seed bank". Some seeds have a durable seed coat that protects the embryo inside very well, and so they lay in wait in the soil. Digging or disturbing the soil can bring seeds to surface that have lain dormant for decades - literally! it sounds like the previous owner may not have bothered to deadhead the peony. It may have flopped over and gone to seed and dropped the seeds in the immediate area over the years. Perhaps when you dug and expanded the bed, you inadvertantly brought seeds to the surface into a position where they could readily germinate. But this is just a theory. Gardening is often a happy and interesting experiment!...See MoreA collection is reborn
