blown_dry I don’t recognize the foliage - what are they?

blown_dry

Juliarugula The ferny ones are Eschscholzia lobbii a type of CA poppy

and the ones with the little round leaves are Clarkia concinna

Beautiful! Not commonly grown in Indiana. Every time I visit the west coast I’m fascinated by the difference in flora. It’s really interesting how moving west of the Rockies makes such a big difference. Same with bird species…

Krista

blown_dry I love the bright green, ferny foliage. It's so perky to see this time of year!

Darce

I sowed seeds of this double poppy in the snow today
I love the color and how ridiculously poufy it is

(annual) POPPY ’FROSTED SALMON’

AndreaB

Darce I sowed seeds of this double poppy in the snow today

Is this a breadseed poppy?

Krista

Darce Oh gorgeous! It looks like fluffy pink petticoats, these are going to be gorgeous come spring!

Juliarugula

Snowdrops and crocuses are peaking out!

Darce

AndreaB

Yes! I got it from select seeds - the name is frosted salmon - I have grown it for a couple of years- the blooms are just fantastic

Darce Gorgeous color! I think I ordered a packet of pink ones. New to me this year,
so fingers crossed.

Here is my 'vintage' aloe. It's also taking the cold weather and wet in stride, but those teeth are not just for show. :/

And my haul from Annie's. I'm so excited. I haven't been well enough to go there in literal years.

Darce

Oh I get the Annie’s catalog and it is my favourite to browse in the winter months - you got a great collection- I am super envious- it is pricey shipping to the east coast but I am always tempted by the catalog

That aloe’s teeth are no joke!

Flowernut

blown_dry I love Annie's. I would order from them when they had their summer sale and claim it was my birthday present to myself.😉 I'm in a different planting zone now, so I shop at local nursery's. Beautiful haul, Amanda!

I buy from both Annie's and Bluestone. There are wonderful nurseries around Portland but my husband does NOT love nursery shopping and I don't drive in the city. So being able to order on line is worth the postage for me. My goal this year is to actually get the perennial border I was ordering for last season planted . This will be my first real planting into the heavy clay and its been a journey learning about it and fitting the work in between days of scorching sun and days of creek flooding and cold rain. Lots of moles and voles here too so taking time out to make bulb cages for the lilies,etc delayed planting last year.

Santa Rosa Gardens is a good online nursery they ship nationwide. If you are wholesale also Walters Gardens but usually for bulk buying - use have a biz tax ID and u can get from them. They are the ones who make and trademark all the 'Proven Winners' plants you see at lowes and home depot.

Darce

I just winter sowed rose seeds collected from my David Austin rose Lark Ascending- it is such a pretty peach colour and the bees just love it- I hope I get some seedlings to sprout - it just covers itself in rose hips
ROSE ‘LARK ASCENDING’

Darce if it wasn't for dahlias and the fact I hate wearing gardening gloves, I'd go full on English garden rose crazy I think. I have 3 DAs and have been drooling over everything else in the catalog. Good luck with your seeds!

calico20hill

Darce Darcy, I have thought about this rose many times and I may still have to have it! I bought "Tottering By Gently" for my Birds and Butterflies garden and Keep wondering if I can fit this one in also!

Darce

MissyWeitzel
Which English roses do you have ? The temptation to go overboard on DA roses is real lol!
I get enraptured by the DA website for sure -every rose there just is so romantic and lush!

Teddahlia

Ted and roses are incompatible. When I was still working, I often went to coffee break with two "rose addicts". Both of them were the obsessive-compulsive types that considered the height of entertainment to be wandering through the roses with pruners in one hand and a spray bottle in the other. Enough said.

Darce

Teddahlia
Ha! Yes there are high maintenance roses (with high maintenance rose obsessive gardeners lol).
I def count myself as a rose addict but take a decidedly relaxed- to the point of somnolence-approach. I don’t spray nor water purposely because my hose doesn’t quite reach so they are pretty much dependent on rain. I’ll prune unwieldy or broken branches but I don’t deadhead really as I like rose hips. My extent of benevolence is to just throw some fertiliser on occasionally. They either thrive or don’t survive!

Darce

The ones that make it through my survival of the fittest approach pay me back immeasurably for my lack of effort though
ROSE ‘PURPLE SPLASH’
ROSE ‘FLORENTINA’
ROSE ‘ROSARIUM UETERSON’

Juliarugula

Darce wowsers! Those are gorgeous!

I haven’t had much luck with roses. I have a couple of “Easy Elegance” varieties that do pretty well, but they aren’t great for cutting. I always try some little bouquets anyway.

But they are lovely in the landscape.

blown_dry

Darce Wow!!!!

Krista

Darce Oh my! Your roses are drool-worthy! My partner is not a fan of roses, but I was able to talk him into letting me put two in last year with hopeful promises of fragrant blooms all summer one day. I planted Olivia Rose Austin and an Earth Angel. I'd love to find a place for a climbing rose, James Galway is one I've drooled over in the DA catalog @MissyWeitzel, yours is just gorgeous!
