I've got to wait until fall for more buds (sniffle). But then I will. I get sooooo impatient.

Great daylilies Lynne....I love the color....

I have some getting ready to bloom and I have no idea what color they are because I just planted them, so it'll be a surprise....

I like your astilbe too....that's another plant on my list of many that I'd like to grow!
Posted By: MaryReboakly Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 15th, 2005 at 08:52 PM
Oooh Oooh Lynn! I have astilbe - dont know what Im doing with them (surprise!)
I got them back in the spring - of course they were blooming then even though they weren't supposed to be yet...but anyway, the flowers have died now and are just brown and still on the plant (still looks pretty cool)...am I supposed to pinch them off or what? Will they 'come back' in the same season from pinching? It's okay if I've gone and messed up the blooming cycle for this year, but I wanted to know for next year wink Thanky!
Posted By: plants 'n pots Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 15th, 2005 at 09:50 PM
Mary - they should be just fine next year, even though they were forced to bloom early this year!

By the way... the "dead" flower stalks have seeds on them - I have found a few baby astilbe several feet away from my mother plants - so exciting!!! thumbup

In my experience, I do not get a second bloom from these plants after deadheading. You can either leave the brown stems on if you like them, and later collect the seeds, or deadhead them if you don't like the look. I usually don't deadhead until late fall, simply because I'm lazy! perpl
Posted By: MaryReboakly Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 15th, 2005 at 10:26 PM
Coolio, thanks Lynne! I'll have to see if I can collect some seeds - I figured there were seeds in there SOMEwhere...well, if I don't collect them this year, it's on my things to figure out for next year LOL! I think they look good with their brown 'flowers' so I'll leave them since it doesn't hurt em. wink I couldn't find any info about deadheading or not deadheading...Thanks so much! wavey

plant's and pot's do you have a name for the daylilies and are they really that pink?

They are beautiful.

I love astilbe. I keep the brown flower stalks up all year, adds interest to the garden in the winter. The birds like to pick at the dead flower heads.
Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 24th, 2005 at 01:00 AM
Well the two tone canna has orange blooms but they wilted between morning and afternoon so I didn't get a picture. Maybe it'll but up a second stock and I'll get a picture of that.
Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 25th, 2005 at 06:32 AM
I have buds on the calendula woohoo. I'll have to get out there and get a picture when the skeeters take a break. Man they are eating me alive today.

THat is a beautiful Lilly. I love the color I need a pink one. I got 12 this week they were mostly cream with different colored eyes a few orange and some yellow and 1 purple. I didnt think of pink. I dont honestly like pink flowers but that is beautiful. I love the lilly's with petals like that I dont much care for the ones with the spider type bloom. I think they dont impress me so much because they grow wild everywhere here the orange and yellow ones. I made sure I only got the ones that bloom like that one there. Now I need to go back and get a pink one. The ones I got are small starts anyone know how long till I have a nice bunch like that one pictured. I have never tried lillies before. I am such a newbie at this whole thing. But I do so love those blooms.
Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 27th, 2005 at 07:03 PM
Here is a picture of the calendula that is thinking about blooming.

I know it isn't the greatest picture in the world but I did what I could.
Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 31st, 2005 at 08:33 AM
And it's thinking, and thinking, and thinking. This anticipation is getting to me lol.
Posted By: Carly Re: Anticipation... lalala - July 31st, 2005 at 08:13 PM
Even though I went to the trouble of transplanting them, little roots and all last fall, I got nowhere with my lilies. No tigers, nothing.

Everybody in the neighbourhood has them - they're rampant in our area, but nothing for poor Carly's lot - well, two came out a couple of weeks ago but they disappeared immediately.
Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - August 1st, 2005 at 08:33 PM
I'm sorry your not having any luck with your lilies. Are you going to try again?
Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - August 6th, 2005 at 07:25 PM
The calendula are still sitting in bud. I'm tempted to go out there and do surgery on the little suckers to make the outer covering let go so I can see the blooms. Not that I get impatient or anything like that lol. Grrrrrrrrrh

Posted By: weezie13 Re: Anticipation... lalala - August 8th, 2005 at 10:13 AM
Nice Sunflower!!!!

*I had sowed a bunch of different kinds earlier..
Some deer mowed just about everyone down and gave them haircuts...I am now just starting to get midget sunflwers now, we planted them in front of the two houses' and I'm waiting to see if those d@mned deer's venture that far forward...

Plus, I had ONE in the back veggie garden, and had been gating up the garden to keep bandit's out, well, I forgot one night, and some one ate that poor lonesome sunflower down to a nub two days ago..left one lousey leave... :p

Posted By: tkhooper Re: Anticipation... lalala - August 8th, 2005 at 03:36 PM
Yep they invent computers and it's just one more housecleaning chore that I hate getting around to lol. Ok it isn't that bad. I just have to remember to do it on my way to bed so the puter is working while I'm sleeping. Otherwise I feel punished when I can't get on the puter because it's busy cleaning itself.
