Camille Potter replied to Mardi Ahring's discussion Black and white seeds that remind me of an oreo cookie (Hyacinth Bean Vine) in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???Camille Potter replied to Lisa Dent's discussion Is this a Moc Orange bush? in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???"I am wondering about the lack of fragrance too. Has it been cold? A lot of flowers need warmth to bring out the fragrance...I know our roses smell stronger during the hot part of the day."
Camille Potter replied to Alison Clarke's discussion Beautiful, small half-blue half-white flower seen in Cantigny Park, Wheaton, IL I WANT IT!!! (Nemesia?) in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???"Check out www.anniesannuals.com She has lots of photos of more unusual varieties of bedding plants and California natives. It looks like a variety of nemesia to me too, and one I think we may have purchased from her years ago when I worked at a…"
Camille Potter replied to Kathy Gatewood's discussion Strawberry Plant? Weed? Poison Ivy? in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???"I think poison ivy has a bit more tapered leaf."
Camille Potter replied to Melvalena NTexas's discussion Amazing footage of injured baby hummer in the group Hummingbird Plants"What a beautiful story and piece of footage...who would have guessed that the mother bird would even feed her baby while a person was holding it in his hands! Cudos!"

Water Garden 2010
"This looks like a variety of scotch broom to me...the variety, San Francisco, gets reddish with golden orange centers when it opens up...could this be it? Lena is another pinkish purplish color variety I know of."
Camille Potter replied to Julie Rohmann's discussion Poison Ivy in the group Perennials"I would suggest a systemic like Round-Up (glyphosate is active ingredient) or other brand names of same ingredient, i.e. Remuda. The leaves take it systemically to the roots and kill it there too. You may have to reapply one or more times depending…"

"oops...just saw you are in zone 4-5...that means it might grow here then-zone 7."
Camille Potter commented on Michelle Renee Z4/5a's photo6/12/09 lower pond
"This is a beautiful pond. I am curious what the green tree on the left hand side of the photo is? Has it been pruned to have this particular habit too, or is this its natural way to grow? What zone are you in?"
Camille Potter replied to Sherrie Bohan's discussion Poppy Pod ? in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???"Thank you, Sherrie. I have really enjoyed working at a nursery...I found it later in life myself, so I know its really never too late, so call some of them and see if you can help out in some capacity or apply during the early spring months when…"
Randy Anderson zn.5/Il. USA left a comment for Camille Potter"I reall didn't have much choice about the hostas but I'd read in "The Hosta HandbooK" by Mark Zilis that I could grow hostas under walnut trees. I bought the property almost 6 yrs. ago and planted @ 150 hosta from my previous…"
Camille Potter commented on Janet Mills's group Hostas"Randy Anderson, I am impressed that your hostas grew under the walnut tree. It produces a chemical that often prohibits many plants from growing under it, so maybe this is one fellow that is impervious to the walnut. That is good to know for others…"

- I reall didn't have much choice about the hostas but I'd read in "The Hosta HandbooK" by Mark Zilis that I could grow hostas under walnut trees. I bought the property almost 6 yrs. ago and planted @ 150 hosta from my previous home by the Wi. boarder in Northern Il.. I was so surprised by the growth that I've added more hostas and have planted day lilies sedums and numerous other plants with go results but gass strugles to live But then I do fertlize and mulch. I should add that I grow hibscus with my hostas to go with the hstas flowering in Aug..

Yucka
"Joan, I researched this for ya. Yucca like to be planted in sandy or rocky soil and like full sun. Do not over or under water them. Yucca are very hardy and pretty well take care of themselves. Just cut of the dead leaves in the Spring...…"
