Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on July 23, 2025, 5:43 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" No clue on the daisy in the picture one. Is the Coontee a little late in flushing? Alvin, I love the Hollyhocks . My grandmother grew all colors of them when I was a little kid they kinda went out of style, but now they are coming back and it’s good to see.. I like the blue bloom a baby, his breath in a while before our house when I was growing up. The Lord is a beautiful flower they go around along the coast, especially on the Outer Banks and barrier Islands. If I’m not mistaken, it may be the state of North Carolina.. is spider flower invasive for you there in Michigan. Tigerlily’s been beautiful this year. I cleared a few pictures one of the Tigerlily and a few others that already are still blowing. https://i.ibb.co/zTQ2MfBY/IMG-6760.jpg https://i.ibb.co/j9nSvs7n/IMG-6591.jpg https://i.ibb.co/wFLbpQcn/IMG-6457.jpg https://i.ibb.co/MkswPNp9/IMG-6739.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Q70Cng6q/IMG-6663.jpg

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on July 23, 2025, 11:43 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Fred, you nabbed the Daisy correctly. So, the show character's name was Daisy May Moses, lol. I don't know if the Coontie is flushing late. Cycads have been known to skip a year, or more, without flushing. I had a Sago skip a year before. I guess they can be unpredictable, sometimes (especially, if they retain all their fronds, throughout the year). Yes, Hollyhocks are a traditional perennial plant. Like their Rose of Sharon relatives, they can reseed themselves, and become invasive. Fortunately though, Mars Magic hasn't reseeded its elf, yet. Cleome can reseed itself, but not so much. as to become invasive. The regular Tigers (Lilium tigrinum) have not bloomed yet, here. They are usuallyearly August bloomers. You know the black bulblets that form along tiger lily stems, can be planted, like seeds, and will grow into more plants? That's a nice size on the blue Hydrangea. What is the cultivar of that one?

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on July 24, 2025, 7:43 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" No idea the cultivar. I started all my plants from cuttings I broke off somewhere, lol.
