Digital Gardening

Other than constant watering, who's playing in the garden in this summer heat? NOT ME! If you need a "flower fix", this is a good place to find it!

Use our blog to brag on your blooms (or at least the ones you had in cooler weather) by posting photos and comments. Ask questions of your fellow club members and share tips. You don't have to limit it to Daylilies...most of us garden addicts grow lots of other things as well. Between us all we have literally hundreds of years of experience (well, it's true). Let's take advantage of that and share our passion here. Most importantly, have fun!

Plumerias


Art - the pictures of the plumerias were beautiful. When we were at the Leffingwell's for the garden tour, they had many plumerias with many of them blooming. While we were at the convention, Bobbie Brooks of Gloustershire (sp), MA wanted to know why the Shimek's had deadsticks planted in their garden - why didn't they just pull them out. I laughed and explained to them that they were plumerias and hadn't started blooming yet. My daughter has one that I gave her (via the Payne's) from my garden about 6 years ago. It is never dug up for the winter (she lives in the Spring area right off I-45) and it blooms constantly throughout the bloom season. She lives in a subdivision and it is protected from the winter cold. It is now about 10' tall.

Here is a picture of one that I took at the Leffingwell's this June.
