We haven't had a real freeze here yet. Starting to wonder... Anyway, tender stuff like this flowering maple and Mexican bush sage is partying like it's 1999....

SteveM Wow what a dreamy sea of colors in every shade. I love ranunculus, and it looks like your neighbor grows a nice selection of varieties too. How pretty, thanks for this color-pop today!

bloomhjelm A warm sunny day and a pool all to themselves, what lucky little duckies. Their baby-fluff is so adorable!

Someone stole my Facebook portrait and has been using it to find friends. Changed my name too. I changed my picture on Facebook to an older one where I am younger. Next one will be a picture in the morning when I get out of bed and look to be 110 years old.

Teddahlia Sheesh!

Teddahlia Oh Man, that is outrageous...Someone pretending to be THE TED. I wonder how much they know about you. If "you "offer me some fabulous new hybrid just out of the goodness of their heart I will report them immediately!

Teddahlia you might be the first person blackmailed for tubers. All kidding aside, that stinks.

Tulip time! I really wish they wouldn’t all bloom at once…

Also, ipheons are so dreamy. I need to start up a second little pocket of them somewhere…

I'm up to my eyeballs in tulips too and I couldn't be happier! I don't sell tulips - these are strictly to enjoy and spoil friends and neighbors. Our garage fridge is full of beer so there's no room for tulipd and I'm hoping some of the late varieties hold out 'til closer to Mother's day so I can make big vases full for mom and MIL. 😊

MissyWeitzel the photo I posted is out beer fridge. Beer will keep just fine at room temps. 😜

I do a little flower cart at the street once a week during peak times and sell a handful of bouquets. But this year I decided I’m going to try to focus on bringing flowers for my mom and her neighbor who deliver for Meals on Wheels. The people on their route love when they get a bonus bouquet! It’s really more what growing flowers is about for me…

Juliarugula bummer! All my Menards tulips are great so far. Quite a few are incorrectly labeled, as per usual.

Juliarugula

That said, I’m feeling kind of cranky today because I seem to be having problems with Tulip fire on all the Costco bulbs I bought this fall. The Menards tulips seem to be in much better shape. I ended up pulling and trashing a whole bed, and I have another one I need to get to soon.

Juliarugula

MissyWeitzel yeah, I always get some mislabels. Pretty low stakes with tulips, though since it’s a one year investment. One year I got a mislabel that turned out to be my very favorite tulip ever! Ha! (Virichic, if you’re wondering. I bought it as some basic pink Triumph, on clearance)

Wooden Shoe Tulips used to have a very nice festival during bloom time. One year they were not blooming on time. Now they spread it out over several week ends. Tulips are not grown on the same ground every year and I believe there is a 3 year rotation. Swan Island Dahlias does not rotate their crop. They do fumigate the soil every few years.
Vesuvius bred by the late Jack Adams and named after his estranged wife. It is almost without doubt the most intense orange dahlia of all. Tubers not all that good.

Fun delivery on a cold rainy day!!

We do expeditions .to various plant nurseries every year. Yesterday was supposed to be the one to "buy what she needs that she could not find the other day ". That means we only bought 75% of what we bought the other day.
We do not buy hanging baskets(well sometimes) as Margaret likes to put hers together in the "Margaret way".
Margaret's choice is pictured here. It is the one in the middle.
We did not buy her choice($36.00) but she did buy plants to make her own.

Teddahlia Thanks for sharing. None of the nurseries around here look like this.

MissyWeitzel

Teddahlia I organized a "Greenhouse Hop" in a couple weeks with some of my local flower friends. We have a route with 8 nursery stops and lunch planned.

I get these inexpensive tulip bulbs every year and they're super tall and the flowers are huge!

Teddahlia

I will post pictures later of the nursery that is better than this.

Margaret dragged me kicking and screaming to a few plant nurseries yesterday. I forgot to grab the camera and used my cell phone.

When will you husbands ever learn that it is part of the ebb and flow of nature...deal with it!
