They do have good fertilizer up there!

The ones in my calla container now look like something else. I guess I will just have to wait to see what they all are.<BR/><BR/>Betty, do you the so called perennial "fall asters" or the annual ones? My fall asters are not yet blooming, so i am thinking that you must have the annuals. Isn't it amazing how some years are so good for one flower and other years they don't do squat?<BR/><BR/>Willow, Thank you. Throw a few on your cypress stump. You never have to water them.<BR/>I am amazed, too, at those cannas. I thoght they were not doing well, but I guess they are just fine. Once they start to grow, they grow fast.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-45488401679605024882008-07-30T15:43:00.000-04:002008-07-30T15:43:00.000-04:00What a brilliant idea to use the sedums on the dri...What a brilliant idea to use the sedums on the driftwood. I have an old cypress stump that could be used like this. With the ongoing drought, I'm definitely looking for succulents that aren't choosy! Cannas have certainly come a long way and I can't wait to see the flowers.<BR/>WillowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-33866346055966496842008-07-29T23:12:00.000-04:002008-07-29T23:12:00.000-04:00My zinnias and asters are blooming quite nicely th...My zinnias and asters are blooming quite nicely this year.<BR/>I love the pic of the hens and chicks, esp on that piece of wood.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214584150711242076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-12833597826124662112008-07-29T18:56:00.000-04:002008-07-29T18:56:00.000-04:00Oh your Cannas are so gorgeous and interesting. I ...Oh your Cannas are so gorgeous and interesting. I can see why you have such a variety of them. I guess I feel the same way about Coleus. <BR/>The zinnia sure looks purple to me Zoey! Yeah! I am sad as my zinnias aren't doing that much this year. I know you've seen photos where they are as tall as me. Not this year.<BR/>I like hens and chicks, but they don't like my yard. I can say the same thing about lavender. I think it's the clay in the soil for the later. Not sure why the h&c don't like it here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
