Robin (N.IL zone 5) replied to Melissa Sheetz's discussion I picked this flower at my house yesterday growing in the wild and it smells really good. Does anyone know what it is? in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???"Thank You for the advise, I get weary when the plant is tagged "Tropical" our winters are far from tropical here in Northern IL. But, I'm sure you understand being in zone 4."
"They spread by rizomes too. If you really want to control them, plant them in a large pot then in the ground. You can cut the runners that you dont want to go anywhere more easily that way. Just an FYI. Out of curiosity I opened and dried the seeds…"

Does anyone know what it is? in the group Name This Plant, Flower, Bush, Tree...???"Robin, if you've got them in your beds and want to control them better, you can pick the pods off before they drop. That'll help sterilize the process a bit."

Bulbs for Spring Show
Posted on October 14, 2011 at 4:37pm 0 Comments 1 Like
So yesterday, I just up and decided to go to Lowes and buy a ton of tulip bulbs, thalia daffodils, grape hyacinth, and those big purple alliums. This will be my first time preparing for a spring show and I am really excited about it. There are so many color/varieties of tulips and of course I want them all, but I chose a darwin hybrid mix (yellow, pink, orange/red) and black (queen of the night). I am curious to ask everyone what kind/color bulbs are you planting this fall and what types…

Lydia said… Sorry Melissa I did not answer you as I just saw your comment. Thank you for being so nice. I started with annuals and then planted zinnias from seed. I am experimenting with perenials so it is not so much work. I try to have something come up for every season (except winter LOL). Sometimes I am lucky and this year was a difficult year, because of animals eating everything, even the marigolds.
