I bet the swat team coordinater felt stupid after that ,, When Jimmy gave me a small start of it 2 years ago he warned me to be careful where I planted it because of the leaves on it,, he didn't want any attention being drawn to it at least until it began blooming,, the leaves sure would look like pot,, unless you knew what you were looking at,, "Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."

Diane - I remember that about the Texas red star hibiscus leaves - I tried growing seeds twice from them - got some from both Jimmy and Jiffy a couple of summers ago, but they just would not grow for me. Here are some of my single blooms today. Cleome just starting to blossom A white coneflower that survived the critters so far!!! YEA! And a purple coneflower that looks a bit bug bitten but is still nice.

Even though I am very careful to get all the seed pods each summer, I always get thousands of baby plants the next year - the seeds are pretty small and plentiful and some always get away! That said, they are easy to weed out once the baby plants are a few inches. I just love the pink colors on this one! And a Stella D'oro lily

Re: Single Flower Photo's ~ Share yours here part 2 dodge #221381 Jul 12th, 2008 at 09:37 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered This is the first time I have seen most of these lilies bloom. The daylilies have always been okay but the others the deer like to munch on before they bloom. This year I used Liquid Fence and it has worked wonders! It isn't the cheapest thing but it works and it has natural ingredients so it isn't harmful!! So if anyone has deer or rabbit troubles I would recommend trying it!

Re: Single Flower Photo's ~ Share yours here part 2 dodge #221412 Jul 12th, 2008 at 01:44 PM loz Unregistered loz Unregistered Those white ones are stunning, but they are all beautiful! Hey I think Lynne needs that liquid fence. I wonder if she's tried that before? I'm glad it worked for you Jess. I couldn't imagine the frustration of having the deer eat all you blooms. We get black bears around here. The other night last week my neighbors son saw the biggest black bear he'd ever seen in his life. It was on the street below mine. If I were to see one I'd probably die.

I will have to look for some! Yes Lynne should try Liquid Fence. It works! I figured I would give it a shot because it was recommended to me and I'm glad I did. Finally got to see the lilies. I wouldn't do well if I saw a black bear either! That is really strange about the galliardia Carol! It is still pretty though!
