My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Forestlake and Friends

7 years ago

For all of you who think we grow only hot colors, here are a few pastels this morning. We grow several of Fran Harding's Forestlake series and love them all.


Forestlake Becky is a tremendous grower in our garden.


Forestlake Laura Lee Harding is another great grower. Please excuse the dead flower behind the flower pictured. It has a hybridizing tag on it and the dead flower was too tough to pinch off.



Forestlake Pleats for Laura has not yet proven itself.



Now for a few more pastels. Gaudeamus is doing well now that it has been moved.


Gay Activist is blooming late this year. We have never had the "bright grenadine persimmon" color the hybridizer describes.


Glowing Quasar seems to like our garden.


The flowers of See Me-Feel Me-Touch Me were excellent this morning.


Puffer Fish is not doing well this year, but this flower was nice. The one behind it was deformed. I should have just picked it off.

    Now for some brighter and gaudier colors--


    Bird's Eye View is new this season. It is bred by Canadian hybridizer Bryan Culver.


    This is one of the best pictures I have ever gotten of Crossfire, but it still does not show the color correctly. It has a black blush over the petals.


    Explosion in the Paint Factory is different every day. The color varies as well as the twisting of the sepals.


    Horns is a big robust plant with large flowers.


    Moving Forward is a southern bred one that does well here.


    Pastor Z was new last season. I like the big throat on this one.


    Transylvanian Tango was a little splotchy today.


    No seedling pix today. It started to rain and I didn't get any hybridizing done. Maybe I can do some later if it dries out since the temps are way down. Unfortunately, it's not enough rain to do any good--just enough to send you inside.
