Greenhouse – Boxwood Cuttings – Cover Flowers

By

One of the reasons I enjoy my greenhouse is that we can buy our plants for the yard and garden and not have to plant them right away.
I’m thankful we have the new plants in the greenhouse because we’re in the midst of one of our little winters. I’m not sure which little winter, we have so many between Spring and Summer.
We’ve been covering my Asiatic lilies and peonies the past few nights to protect them from frost.
My peonies are full of bloom buds and my lilies are lush and green. I would hate for them to get frost bite.
I’m happy that it’s possible that one or more of my boxwood cuttings from my bouquet might root actual grow into a bush. I transplanted all of them in the flower bed and so far, only a couple has died. The others look like their trying to grow.

Wishing you all a Happy Tuesday!

 

 

Unique Lovely Lily & issue update

By

I was taking photos in my Lily patch and came across this lovely 2 color lily. It’s so unique and fun. It made me smile. I don’t recall ever seeing it bloom before.
A couple years ago we bought several different varieties of lilies for the front yard. There’s quite a bit of shade in our front yard, but we figured the lilies would do okay. Unfortunately, we were wrong, they didn’t do well and barely grew or bloomed.
Last year, We made a lily patch in the back yard, in an area of full sun, and transplanted the front yard lilies to it. All the lilies took off growing and have thrived wonderfully.

My Blog Issue Update:
I can surf blogs with other browsers, fairly well now, but not for posting and commenting.
I’m using a Chrome browser for posting today. I want to see if it helps my issues before I contact WP support.
So far, so good…
I’m going to try and visit and comment using Chrome.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to visit and do a bit of catching up with you all.
Wish me luck 🙂

Wishing you all a beautiful week free of issues.

Lilies & Zinnias – low maintenance lovelies

By

We’ve spent quite a lot of time outside enjoying the colors of Summer. I never tire of seeing the flowers in bloom. Right now the lilies and zinnias are making a show. I’ve kept my camera busy. For me, the fun things about my lilies and zinnias are that the lilies are perennial and require very little maintenance and the zinnias are all volunteers from last year’s zinnias and require no/low maintenance as well. Pretty neat 😀

Wishing everyone a beautiful week!

Wednesday Winter Sprouts

By

The temperatures has been in the 50°s and high 60°s here lately. The daffodils, lilies and rose are trying to make their yearly debue. Unfortunately, the temperatures are rumored farecast to start dropping and the new growth will probably be bit back. Fortunately, the temperatures will warm up again soon and the new growth will began again.
