Wow, it's August
Still can't keep up with you guys. I'm outside digging
( again) and it is getting too hot, so I'm taking a break.
Went back to Curt Hanson's place last Tuesday, and it was another great trip. Came back with 7 more!!! This time I brought back Enola Gay, a late bloomer, but no pictures cause I didn't take my camera (?) and Curt cut off the flower scapes!! YIKES. He was going to town cutting off the foliage after he dug for us and cut the scapes too!! Of course we screamed in terror, (quietly) !! and then I actually put my hands on the scapes on the next one so he wouldn't cut it. what was I thinking, it is a good thing I came home with ten fingers! He probably thought I was nuts! Oh well, want to enjoy the bloom while I can. I also got Excursions in Ambiance a midlate bloomer that is a very ruffled pink, it had lots of bloom. Pearls Before Swine, listed as a mid, and it had the last of it's bloom, but I really liked it. Romulan Defector, also a mid, with the last blooms on it, interesting one. Saucerful of Secrets, early mid, with just a few last blooms on it, but it caught my eye. ( and I went there to get late bloomers!!ha) He then gave us The Holo Deck, a mid late that had tons of bloom on it, but was too expensive for me that day, but we kept admiring it, so he gave it as a bonus!! Also got Joan Derifield as a bonus. Once again he was very generous, with fan numbers and the bonus. A few late and mid late ones that were just gorgeous and loaded with buds and blooms were
Mediterranean Sailor, mid late, Unfolding Paradox mid late, which he couldn't dig cause he was using it to cross,
Afterglow of Love, which my sister in law got, and it is a very late, was loaded with buds, and is gorgeous.
Aegean Wind was blooming away.
Soul in Ice, mid late, sister in law got it.
Theraputic Touch, mid late, bloom and buds on it
So now I have an even longer list and had to make a new area just for my Hanson's that I will get next summer. This is what I have been digging!!!
I also extended this bed out a bit.
This is what I have blooming today in my gardens, I only had 27 in bloom today, that is so few out of the mere 371 that I have now!! boohoo. Oh well, Here is The Holo Deck , it is listed in the AHS data base as Hollow Deck, but that isn't what Curt is calling it.
Here is Candie Dwyer, showing off today, this one is listed as a mid, but for some reason is just now blooming with the lates.
Gotta love Autumn Wood
New Series has been a blooming machine, and today it did this!!
this is the FFO on Grape Pretender, a bonus from Maryott. I really like it and I'm sure it will be simply beautiful once it is established. this was just planted beginning of July.
Last bloom on Mask and Metaphor, I really do love this one
Orchid Corsage doing it's thing
Psalter and Harp, one of my last to bloom
And of course, Bowie, this morning waiting for me to sit down next to him.
