Hello Ragna,
Your garden is an inspiration indeed. And all those happy plants dancing in the breeze. That corner you have been working on looks fabulous. oh That big agave looks majestically incharged of everyone there. Well done Ragna. Nice one!

Always love looking at your pics!

Thank you "Mamachile" Mizan and Abarbie for looking and commenting. I get inspired looking at other people's photos so hope to return the favor.

I am enjoying working on the new area in this wonderful cool weather, but I'm already looking forward to next year when the ornamental trees I planted will be bigger. I read a comment somewhere that everyone always thinks their garden will be better next year. That includes me ... LOL

Love the stacked pots!

You always have the best garden photos. I am surprised to see your daisies blooming in the fall. I have a Shasta daisy that has a long bloom period - almost through to the end of August, but not this late.

My shasta daisies only bloom in spring. What is your secret to getting them to bloom now? They are just beautiful. Oh wait, I just reread what you wrote. Those aren't Shasta daisies. That makes me feel better, except my Shastas never look that good either.

Thank you Denise and Marti. Right Marti, they aren't daisies at all but look-a-like mums and so easy to grow. They have a pink cast when first open, but quickly fade to white. I so appreciate having them. Whoever passed them along - thank you! I should probably try to root some for the spring swap.

awesome photos, Roselee! I'd like to have one of those agave pups, if you have any left to spare. Perhaps some of the daisy's too. We need to go see Aunt Minnie again. Wonder what she has decided to turn loose of now?

Great seeing your garden photos!

Thank you all for looking and commenting.

Lesli, the rippled agave has young pups. I've noticed that at least one other small A. "green goblet" is rippled. I'm presuming it was one removed from the plant above and not the mother plant, which is no longer alive. It was fairly large and died a slow summer long death when I transplanting it from a pot to the ground ... oh well.

Did you see this that BossyVossy posted on the main forum?

A visit to Aunt Minnie's nursery would be fun, especially IF she is really selling down her inventory ... :-) Let us know if you find out.

Some of you may remember this post on "Aunt" Minnie's nursery, but for those that do not here it is. If you are in the vicinity you may want to check it out. I got a lot of neat things from her.

Ragna, I have the Country Girl, so maybe you got them from me ?

Patty, that's very possible! Do these look like yours?

This was several years ago, but I seem to remember someone I didn't know handing them to me and telling me they were mums. They were not labeled and you usually label your swap plants. IF it was someone else they could have gotten them from you!

Not knowing what they looked like I didn't even plant them out for a year or two, but I sure am glad I finally did ... :-)

They DO look like mine (if they're still alive) and were called Country Girl. I've had them a looong time. So, you could have gotten them from me, or we got them from the same person. I cannot recall anymore who I got mine from. But aren't they great !?
