We were the last stop that day for them as the wandered through the display gardens/seed beds and nursery area.
It was great to meet the many members, and I'm sure we will be seeing many of them again!Here are a few pics.

waiting for spring

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 16:04:00 +0000

Snow is melting slowly .It will take long time to melt 3-4ft of snow. I have garden show next week and I am hoping for warm weather.All my pants are still covered .

At least at home and my little greenhouse spring arrived early .First time in my life Scabiosa Caucasica germinated over 80%.Tomato seedlings having first true leave.I seeded about 17-18 heritage varieties .Some really odd like Green sausage or Purple plum or Black Cherry .The last one is my favorite .

starting seeds

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:23:00 +0000

We had lots and lots of snow in early December and I had no time to cover all my plants.Then in January most of snow melted so I had to cover my pots.
I am relay enjoying winter dough .I am caching up with reading and last week I started some seeds.MY Escobaria had 3 seed capsules last year .Very odd ,they where soft , full of seeds and gelatin like substance .After 3,4 weeks all that dried out and I did and up with lots of little seeds .They germinated and now they are the size of sunflower seeds. It will take 2 years before planting them all outside.Lots of seeds are popping up. Centauria rupestris germinate in obandece and its growing like weed .Its makes me happy because lots of people ask for it.I really need to have a big greenhouse.Maybe next year.

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 13:41:00 +0000

It is white outside and I don't like it . Too much snow ,to early .I still have so much to do in gardens and I was hopping for last year December. Last year it was cold but snow less and i was cutting grass on the 20th of December. Here are some pictures I took after first snow fall.

Fall flowering perennials

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:36:00 +0000

Its getting cold and days are shorter.I should have more time but there is no end to work.Plants to move and split ,seedlings to plant. Garden slowly dieing back with exception of few late bloomers.I have yellow and pink perennials mums.
Red Dendranthemum rubellum "Duchess of Edinburgh" and
little ground cover Dendranthemum weyrchii with pinkish flower.Native asters are in full bloom and they are so beautiful . To but not to many people plant them.To some
they are weeds.

Japanese anenemone

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 12:18:00 +0000

I have Japanese anemone scattered all over my garden .They are flowering for few days now.Pink and white ,about four feet tall ,they add color and height to a fall garden. Anemone are drought tolerant and can grow in a poor soil so are perfect for a tough side.Full sun or part shade they love it all .
It takes about two years for Anemone to start to run a little but you can always remove little ones in the spring 0r plant them where they have plenty of room to grow.They are one of my favorite and wordy to be in every garden.

Origanum rotundifolium "Kent Beauty"

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 12:33:00 +0000

It took me few years to find this plant It is just an oregano but what a beautiful oregano it is. . Origanum is a low growing, spreading plant, and looks like a mini shrub.Papery pink brackets are shaped somewhat like the flower of the hope plant .Colors change from pink to mauve, to almost purple. It is drought tolerant, and to much water or moist soil we kill it.
Perfect plant for the rockery, rock walls and hot sunny places.

Berlandiera Lyrata

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 13:03:00 +0000

It started to rain so I came in to wright about my new addition to the rock garden Berlandiera lyrata -Chocolate daisy
It is a small plant , about 15 in.Nice yellow daises are open early morning and smell like cocoa and vanilla . After temperature rises yellow petals fall to ground leaving behind green center which look like perfect green daisy.
I planted Chocolate daisy in very well drained , sandy soil and full sun .So far I didn't water it I just enjoyed it.I will be planting many more next year .The rain stoped ,we got all together 5 minutes .I have to go and water again.

noreply@blogger.com (Anna's Perennials) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:04:00 +0000

It is beautiful in the garden .So many colors and interesting plants .One of my favorite grasses (Stipa)is in full bloom.It looks amazing in full sun and with breeze moving its flowers.
In a shaded corner astilbis in fool glory .I don't know there name ,got mother plant long time ago from a friend.They seed easy and thrive in poor soil.Colours may vary from light pink to amethyst.
