So what's your favourite flower? People get very attached to their garden and I'm sure you have a few favourites or maybe one always catches your eye. It may be a functional space-filler or a high-maintenance vision of beauty. Regardless list it is this hall of fame
Hi there Planttrader and welcome to GardenStew. Hope you're going to enjoy the forums as much as I do. Do you have many different types of iris? Some of the new colours (such as Mandarin) are gorgeous aren't they? I'd love to see a few photographs of your iris.
Hi, I have around 50 different colors of iris. Each spring I divide and give them away for postage to friends. I have a data base at my site with 5 pages of pics of mine and other members irises. Most of my friends are in the US or Canada. I am looking forward to looking at pictures of flowers in other countries here.
Must show you my lilies when they flower B_G!!! Shouldn't be too long now. Welcome to GardenStew. Hope you enjoy our forums. Feel free to join in!!!!!
Haven't a clue what colours mine are going to be :?: I planted soooo many bulbs all at the same time and managed to mix up the labels Never mind it'll be a nice surprise when they open. I'd love to see your orange ones B_G - any chance of a piccie? Hope you're enjoying the forums - any questions just ask as there's usually someone around to help out.
I will take a pic soon with my digital camera. I had red bettles on them earlier called 'Red Lily Beetles'. Once they are on the liles they eat them away really quickly and lay eggs. A friend told me to spray sunflower oil on them and it worked!
Great tip there B_G!!! Thank goodness I haven't had red lily beetles near mine - maybe it's something to do with our weather - who knows? Looking forward to seeing your pics. Cheers.
I have an "amazon series" dianthus that I love, zinnias because of their gorgous colors, roses and peonies for their beauty and scent, Lavender for the scent. But strictly for looks my fave is one that I dont have and always wanted...poppies! (planted some seeds and nothing )
Hi Cheryllynne, I've got loads of poppies in the garden at the moment oranges, reds, pinks, blues and yellows but what I've always wanted is a white one - can't find any around here though. Tip for you: "Poppy seeds can lie dormant for years until the soil is tilled then they suddenly sprout up on mass and can cover a whole field, making it look like a field of blood." Sooooooooo maybe if you disturb the soil where you planted them they'll come up for you next year? Hope so anyway.
