And this is the "weed" that we picked at Southern States, and found out via the mystery thread it was a poppy. Surprisingly, even tho it started to wilt... look at what happened today..

Hey Meg,

That is outstanding. The Poppies are such a joyful looking plant I really like them. I also love your light blue columbine. I have a mauve and dark purple one with pure white edge and I love them. I definitely will be trying to trade for some next year when I have something to trade.

Thanks tk.. I didn't even know what color they'd be.. I even had my doubts they were actually columbine, till they started growing this year..lol. I bought them at walmart, the end of the year last year... popped them in the ground close to fall... so they never bloomed. They were compact to the ground. I thought they were cute little green things, but look nothing like they do right now! I'll try to figure out how to save some seeds of them for ya, when they get to that point.

Meg

I have been watching the seed pods very carefully on mine waiting for them to turn brown. So of course they are not turning brown lol. But when they do I plan to be right there to collect every seed. I think I read that they mutate easily so they might create a different color than the mother plant but that's ok with me. I'll send you some if you want, when they finally become seeds lol. (I didn't know how to phrase that.) This is so exciting. It'll be a trade.

Meg ~ I that columbine!
What a pretty blue color!!! Do you think you could keep me in mind for some seeds too if you are successful? I have a "blue garden" that I would love to grow some in...

Thanks. Happy gardening!

Certainly Lynne.. just remind me later on.. I'll remember that I'm trying to save the seeds from my columbine, and I'll post it in the seed swap section when they're available.. but I'll put you & tk first.

Meg

trying to post a photo
finaly got it to work thanks bill meet Gertrude and Heathcliff my peach faced Lovebirds.

JV, they are just beautiful!! Glad you figured out how to post the photos!

Meg

Beautiful flowers, I love columbines. Hey, love the birds also.

Ok JV, you have sugar gliders and love birds and cats. Where are the fish?

<img border="0" alt="[tongue]" title="" src="graemlins/tongue.gif" /> No fish at this time. I used to raise and sell Tropical fish got too expensive sold out still like them last one we had was my wife had a rare Frog our son-in-law gave her the tank lid fell and killed it. I will settle for dogs,birds,sugar gliders and Iguan's right now. I save them when peopl ebuy them for their kids then kids dont want them when they see they have to care for them. I saved two Gerbils two weeks ago gave to some of my Great Grand son's. My Granddaughter is about ready to shoot me as I am always giving some of the kids some animal.

I'll bet she does. To bad I don't live closer I love animals.

Pretty soon Bill is going to give us a room called animal planet for all our pets that don't have roots.

Saturday I will go to Mesquete to get 9 hampsters this lady is getting rid of. she got a male and a female put in same cage, now they have baby hampsters (who would a thunk it) So they are getting rid of them all already found homes for most of them. This was on dfwfreecyclepetpalcement. We have a lot of freecycle's here. Also waiting on address this lady has two female Russian Dwarf Hampster to give away. TK better move closer so i can give you more pets than you need.
Jimmy

Only if you promise I can play with the sugar glider and make friends with the love birds.

Well, here’s my photo of the day… this is my confederate jasmine and it smell’s beautiful! I took this on Wednesday while I was messing with the turtle (see the water garden section)

DEAR MEGAN,

Please take me off of the list for the columbine I just read the propogation instructions and that is way to much for me. But thank you ever so much for the thought.

i just love all the pictures!!! i have webtv and don't have the luxury!!
JV.....i applaud you!!! it takes special people to realize the needs of animals! i wish i could save all of the battered, bruised, abused, animals. i sometimes feel animals are better than most people i know!
Hi TK......please share the info on propagating columbine? i have some seeds i plan on tossing in the ground this fall, of course with my luck with seeds nothing will happen...lol. however i did send some magpie columbine seeds to a girl this year, and she just put them under a tree and they're growing already.....talk about a green thumb...lol, and have you ever seen the magpies????? gosh!!!!! they're black and white....how cool is that?
Meg......hope you post more pics, those are BEAUTIFUL!

Linda

TK, are ya sure? I thought they were supposed to be easy.. and like to just reseed themelves. Of course, I hadn't read yet on how to do it yourself...

Glad ya'll like the photos. And Linda, of course there will *always* be more photos. I can't help myself..lol. I'm waiting for something new to bloom..

Hi all,

Columbine ... I read something about having to stick the trays in the refrigerator for 3 weeks after you sow them.

It never dawned on me to sow them in the fall. Duh

What are those flowers Phoenix? Really pretty. How big are the blooms?

SELF RESTRAINT TRAINING: I am not getting any more plants other than what is on my 2005 garden plan...I am not getting any more plants other than what is on my 2006 garden plan... I am not...

tk,
the picture i posted is a gerbera daisy
i've seen some that grow to over a foot high.
the flowers get maybe 3-4 inches around i think

good luck with your columbine btw

anyone have an extra brain I can borrow this one is broken beyond repair.

columbine seed outside in the fall, easy. I was reading about starting them indoors in the spring, not so easy.

Black and white ones sound so pretty. It would be like they were wearing a tuxedo.

linda12159 why would anyone plant magpie seeds. I thought they layed eggs anyway just can't understand why zanyone would want a bunch of magpies running around
TK take my brain I dont use it so very little wear and tear on it.
