ladyzekke,
Cool! I am sure if I can't help you then SOMEONE at the W&W board will have the answer. They are a great bunch of people and I am glad they talked me into sticking around. Gabriel, LOL, funny you should say that about your mum....mine can kill a plant in record time when it used to be that (when I could look at them and they died) she was the one who could keep them flourshing! I hope they start being nicer to you and showing their appreciation for your care! Hugs, Moni |

I forget what nice people we have here! Unfortunately, where I was raised, for a man to admit he liked flowers was tantamount to his putting on lip gloss and eye shadow and sashaying. It could get you beat up. So apologies for my erstwhile defensiveness. It's an old habit I need to lose. The ashes will definitely help. Roses do thrive on that. Another plant that does as well (and gets along well with roses) is the Hydrangea (some people call them "pom pom" flowers, I call them "Litmus" flowers for a good reason). The more or less acidic the soil will determine whether the flowers are blue or pink or other colors. If you variate the acidity in the soil, you'll get a bush with multicolored flowers! Hydrangeas are fun to play around with and see what you can come up with, and they're robust as hell, so it's difficult to screw up and kill them. They're also great for covering up ugly spots on older homes, and grow equally well in shade or sun. Moni, do you work with hydrangeas any? I don't know what the soil down in San Antonio is like regarding flowers. Obviously it must be good for what you're saying about the roses. I bet hydrangeas would work, too...but you'd have to water them a lot. They are water intensive. Cheers! |

I have not seen hyacinth in the stores. Maybe I will have to look harder. I like going to the little nurseries that are in the town I shop in. I will look and maybe I can get some. Seeds are a pain. When we planted our front yard, the birds had a feast. I would go out the door yelling and screaming. We had to reseed the front yard many times to finally get some grass. hehe, Maybe you should name your 'stink tree'. I think it is strange that you cannot find anything about that tree. Maybe it is a reject from a lab. hehe My lilies won't be blooming until May. They bloom once and that is it. The blooms do last a while. I have them in the sun but I did plant some by the house where they will get lots of shade. I was curious to see how they did there. I will let you know. Yes, Walnut trees get huge but they grow really slow. It will be a long time before they start be really messy. I do not look forward to having to pick up walnuts. My husband said that if we move, we are digging them up and taking them with us. They are his babies. hehe When we moved here, there was nothing but weeds. The previous owners did nothing to make this place look like someone lived here. We did alot of work to it. There was no grass, no trees, no fence. It was sad. I have pictures of the way it looked before we did everything. We got some Aspen quakie (don't know if the is the right name) trees and they are doing great. We have tried planting other trees but they just die. I am not sure why. The walnut and the quakie trees do well. Now that there is a possibility of us moving, I almost don't want to plant anything else. I wish I knew more about trees so at least I could have some more shade. I guess my green thumb only goes so far. ------------------ Draconia, Dragon Queen |

I will definitely try the ashes on my roses. I think I might get a Hydrangea and try that too. The soil I have here is not very good and not many things grow in my yard. I have tried many flowers and many things in my soil but some flowers just don't like it. If the Hydrangea is hardy, then that may be my next flower choice. Thank you for the info. I hope you will keep coming back and sharing your knowledge of flowers. Especially roses. I am still learning about roses and enjoy learning more. I am glad what I am doing is working. I just wish I had the same luck with trees. ------------------ Draconia, Dragon Queen |
