Yeah youve seen them all before BUT I do have a new flower that finally bloomed!
Its my Queen Faboila
My wild flower bed has exploded (along with the grass! ).
Glendas orange canna! I dug this up and potted it for her so I could ship it. The next day the buds were up and now its in bloom!
And my pride and joys! My roses! They are just blooming and blooming! I have some perfect roses blooming!
I was blown away by this New Years bloom! It is perfect in every way! The form is perfect and the color is unreal! All the other ones are opening an orange but not this one! Rob is the one who pointed this one out to me. If you want a rose that will thrill you with every bloom, this is the rose for you!
another of the New Years.
Don Juan is starting to climb.
Wonder blooms. It smells so great.
Golden Masterpeice rose tree
Europeana
My Blue girl is budding like crazy but they arent the normal little blue buds...they are hot pink striped!
Sunny mini
My little mini "tye dye" rose...Peaches N Cream is finally in its second blooming cycle.
We have a sever storm moving in right now...it got dark quick. Lots of noise and lightning. The cloud formation are wonderful! (can you tell Im an artist?)

I am still digging and potting all of yours .I sure hate to try to ship them.I'm afraid they will be destroyed in transit.I can still do what we talked about.

I was afraid it would die because I had such a hard time digging it up but it proved me wrong!
If you water the plants before you ship them, they will be fine. No worries. I worried the first I shipped a live plant. It will be fine.

 love the pic's especially the orange canna.I have one very tall. Could be the stem just out grew the leaves as a fluke (I don't think so). Were I got mine was full of tall ones. Next year I'll see what happens . Well, any way back to your beautiful flowers they are great. When you ship do u use plastic bags on the plant for moisture  I have one I'd like to ship.

Goodness, look at those clouds - beautiful shapes. We really, really need "smell-a-round" here, so we can sniff the flowers when we look at them - they are beauties.

Heres what I do
I get most of the dirt off the roots by soaking them in water. Then take a paper towel and wet it down...DONT WRING IT OUT! Wrap around the roots of the plant. Then wrap newspaper around the wet paper towel..this is to help hold the papertowel in place and hold in the water. Then take a sandwich baggie and place the wrapped roots inside the baggie and wrap the baggie around tight. I use only rubber bands to hold the baggie in place. Some use tape but I found trying to get tape off a baggie can cause damage to the plant.
