I'll go to the nursery to get niger seed for the finches and when I get home, there are ten plants in the back of my car! I'm not sure how that happens. Anyway, your lady Banks should be wonderful.

I hope :). Thanks as always for visiting, I absolutely love getting comments. <br /><br />Amy - I've been told late April, but its still a wait. They are just hanging out in the closet til then. Which is okay, seeing as I've done nothing yet to the front bed anyway. Its got about 1000 wild onions in it. <br /><br />Janie - Thanks so much for the advice. I do realize how big they get, and I have 20 feet of a 6 foot fence it can cover if it likes plus a tree it can also go up... I am going to trim it I'm sure to keep it from bushing out too much horizontally primarily, and will never in early spring thanks to you. And it can fight with the star jasmine on that fence. Let the best plant win.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524574998937986323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-18292072489665332312010-03-21T09:08:24.643-04:002010-03-21T09:08:24.643-04:00Caladiums like it HOT!

Well, this year, it may be July or so, the way it is going.<br /><br />Did you get any specifics on that Lady Banks rose? Like how big does she get and what color is she? <br /><br />I have a white and a yellow, planted as one plant, and 'she' is beautiful when she blooms! I have people stopping to ask "What IS that rose, anyway?" But they are very large roses, probably at least 12'-15' tall and 20' wide. Never cut them in early spring, you cut all the blooms off. Mine don't get cut back all that often, maybe that has something to do with the size.<br /><br />Be careful, there are lots of 'plant jackers' out there! Pineapple sage and assorted herbs got me the other day; and I was not bringing them home because I KNEW we were going to have a freeze this weekend! They barged right into the house when we got here, setting on the kitchen table until they can go outside.<br /><br />I took it as a sign that I didn't need to cook...janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978979417557447666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-47641718646988561322010-03-20T22:08:58.625-04:002010-03-20T22:08:58.625-04:00I had a lemon tree holding me up in the car the ot...I had a lemon tree holding me up in the car the other day and caladiums hiding on the floorboard, too.

Admittedly, I'm not in the South, but I'm confident that the right roses would be just fine there. And judging by the Vintage Gardens page on Banksia roses, it sounds like they might be the right kind.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-81476818233828586512010-03-18T22:40:23.212-04:002010-03-18T22:40:23.212-04:00Wow, those Southern roses are fiesty, hope you wer...Wow, those Southern roses are fiesty, hope you weren't hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-29283582361381692222010-03-18T22:22:18.141-04:002010-03-18T22:22:18.141-04:00Here's hoping that you come to terms with your...Here's hoping that you come to terms with your carjacker and that she flourishes in your garden!Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14897467131060085370noreply@blogger.com
