Tons of Pics!
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:07 pm Been awhile since Ive posted, Calendula , forgive the kid toy in the background =).. 
Morning Glories, these didnt grow very tall, but they were huge, a mixture of a couple different types... 
Candy Lily, 
Salvia, 
Triple Yellow Datura, not the greatest pic... 
Front Yard bed... 
Snapdragons 
Cosmos 
Hibiscus Manihoot 
Rudbeckia Irish Eyes 
I would love to post some more roses, but the JBS eat them fast =)... Was able to get a serving out of the Green Beans even after the deer ate them down to nubs. Silverkelt This blog entry has been viewed 267 times
Sunrise, Datura , Dianthus Siberian Blues, Liatris etc...
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2009 1:47 pm Sunrise, through the foggy, mist filled air. I took several pics from my back deck, but this one captures the mood... 
Single White large datura, opens evening and closes before noon the next day... Fragrant and lovely... 
Dianthus Siberian Blues You have to try this one at some point! Really more purple/lavender than a blue. 
Blazing Stars (Liatris) (took me three years to wintersow succesfully, dont ask me why as they should be easy germinators!) 
I believe this is Coreopsis tinctoria or plains tickweed. I think I wintersowed some anyways =).

Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:28 am First, there was actually a sunset =P.. I usually cant tell becuase its been either cloudy or rainy... 
Pacific Beauty Calendula 
Different Zinnias 
Double Gold Rudbeckia 
Malva Zebrina (man, these things seem to hate me, Ive never gotten more than a small smattering of blooms) 
My one and only coneflower leftover from my deer attacks, I might get some more of the ruby star later... 
Another shot of the Apple Blossom Yarrow, finally starting to blush... 
Double shot of blanketflower glandiflora

Nicotinia , Phlox, Zinnias, Yarrow...
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:21 am Nicotinia, I think sensation mix... Nice fragrance. 
Annual Dwarf Beauty Phlox, looking patriotic... 
Zinnias are starting to flower, this one had a interesting colour mixture, however the photo came out a little blurry. Sorry! 
Appleblossom Yarrow, not sure about this, has a slight tinge of pink, but I much prefer the bolder colours of other yarrows, this might go still... 
Had to show this shot of Laurens Grape Poppy again, WOWZERS, the show is finally over for these... but it was nice while it lasted. 
Still waiting on Salvias, Calendula , Cosmos and Hibiscus Manihoot to flower. Silverkelt This blog entry has been viewed 810 times
Mostly Repeats, but with some sun!
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:30 am Weve had 3 out of 5 days with mostly sun around here.. that in itself is something unheard of this year! Goblin Blanketflower, this one looks similiar to the other one I posted, but much shorter about 8 inches high or so. 
If you wanted to add orange , but afraid it might be too much of a "hot" color, I would recommend California Poppies, they are a nice mellow orange. Backdroped with the sun, and closing for the night, they remind me of spring tulips somewhat. These poppies are probable as much non fuss flower as you can get. Maybe deadhead the seed pods too make sure they dont spread. 
Some more of the triumpf carnations, lovely graceful arching habits on a 2-3 foot plant. Hopefully will be able to post a huge clump shot of these soon. 
I wouldve had a bunch of different coneflowers soon, but those are gone with the deer, as is my delphiniums. I will have some liatris shots soon it appears as the deer do not like them. Yvonnes Salvia, Red Lady Salvia , Calendula, Snaps, Hibiscus Manihoot all to come. Hopefully in a week or two, oh and some ruds it appears. Silverkelt This blog entry has been viewed 196 times
Even more wintersowing blooms...
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:36 am Triumpf Carnations , much smaller than its cousins the florist carnations, these dianthus have a particular pleasing bluish tint to its plant, making it a outstanding garden plant IMO =)... has tons of buds so hopefully will get a bush shot of it at some point. 
First flower opened on rose campion(Lychnis coronaria) its a darker fuschia type color, Im not sure if I was being decieved, I actualy got a whiff of a scent off from it... 
Chinese Forget me Nots (annual) very east to wintersow... 
As promised some of my datura has finally started... more to come later hopefully. LOVELY vanilla type scent on this one... 
Clump shot of Laurens Grape Poppy, I really packed these in so some of the smaller plants bloomed tiny blooms, I think it has a charming effect however... 
More to come if the deer doesnt eat everything! Silverkelt This blog entry has been viewed 239 times
Various Stuff and a Visit from THE DEER!!!!
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:28 pm First off, Deer ate some of my rosebuds and coneflowers last night, dont ask me why they chose to come to the front yard, through fallen logs and a bog to get to them, left the totally exposed hostas out back alone! It wasnt that bad, I have seen way worse damage, will have to keep track of it all, I still threaten to my wife that one of these days a dog will be coming home with me to chase the buggers off! Laurens Grape Poppy finally started, some of these have been this really dark purple, some a more velvet crimson, 
Blanketflower (Gaillardia Grandiflora) in some form or another, always pretty if short lived plants in my zone. 
More of those roccoco pansies 
Amaranthus Split Personality, not that flashy, will have to dertermine if I will bother saving seeds on this one or not, The flower tassells appear to stay green, I much perfer the red/purple ones. 
Speaking of red purple Amaranthus, I have a unknow one, someone sent to me as Amaranthus Giganticus, which I have no ideal what it is, If any of you know clue me in, ITS very pretty, doesnt appear its going to get that big for me =( reminds me of how my last years love lies bleeding started off.. 
Hopefully I will have some Datura pics soon, the buds just sit there mocking me! This blog entry has been viewed 264 times
More Wintersowing blooms and stuff...
Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 3:59 pm Poppies are out, I have a few more varieties to go.. I have like a hundred of Laurens Grap Poppies ready to burst soon as well. Kiss me over the garden gate, makes a great foiliage plant, even before it blooms its long rope like flowers... 
Below is some sort of corn poppy or shirly popply, I dont know which... It has bloomed in a greyish lavender, dark purple, and a red so far... I actually thought it was double peonies when I planted them! Oh well, sometimes when you trade seeds you get that sort of mix up. 
California Poppies with friend 
Nice Mellow orange on these... 
Spearmint, alot of poeple dont like mints, probable becuase they force them into gardens that are too small for it, I have pepermint as well, I think the combo of them together with lemon balm makes a GREAT tea! The little tag I got at a store in Limington Maine called the country collection... BTW if you want to grow mints or evening primrose or mondara, I always suggest grow them where you could care less about them, put them in crappy soil with part shade and dont overwater them. Here in the north they will spread, but it should limit it somewhat. Pluck them down in your richest amended soil next to roses you have to water every week, DUH! of course they gonna spread! 
Roccoco Pansy! Im sooo happy about these, I count like 10 flowers ready to pop out there, After 3 years of trying to wintsow pansies, these came in great! 
Geranium bohemicum Orchid Blue... I got two different packs of these... both of them germinated, whats funny is one plant looks so far ahead of the other, but the little one put a few blooms up! Dont ask me, go ask your mother... (Dr Suess refrence there) 
Last but not least is some camelot rose foxglove, have a pinker one coming as well. I also wintersowed Candy Mountain and Excelsior foxgloves this year... 
Hopefully will have some more stuff to share later.... this rain and cool weather has delayed things for a couple of weeks... Silverkelt This blog entry has been viewed 227 times
