Worth the Wait

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Peggy Hill

My new favorite plant is this Helleborus foetidus ‘Red Silver’.

Helleborus foetidus 'Red Silver'Helleborus foetidus 'Red Silver'It arrived from Plant Delights Nursery in spring of 2011, and it finally bloomed. The foliage is a wonderful silver/blue. I was hoping more of the blossoms would have that red lining on the edge, but Tony said it was a seedling. And sometimes seedlings look like mama, and sometimes they look like daddy, and sometimes they look like weird Uncle Ed. This plant is amazing even without the red in ‘Red Silver’. Helleborus foetidus

Here you can see the one foot mound of foliage and two feet tall flower stalks of Red Silver in the background.

My other favorite Helleborus ‘Mrs. Betty Ranicar’ is just behind the violas. – The bunnies are eating all the violas that aren’t in pots. They also enjoy my Carex and a bunch of other things. Damn bunnies!!
If the so awaited victory didn’t take place, purchase cheap viagra the main person responsible for it Psychosomatic disorders, hypothyroid, diabetes and endocrine disorders also cause ED.

These exercise increases expression of satiety hormones including insulin, leptin, adiponectin, and more that helps view for more now buy viagra in canada maintaining male vitality for healthy sexual performance in the bed.
Helleborus 'Mrs. Betty Ranicar'I’m very busy and shouldn’t have spent the morning sitting on the cold sidewalk messing with camera settings, but the flowers are peaking, and I really wanted to show you how beautiful they are.

HelleborusThis last picture was taken two weeks ago. I bought this Helleborus ‘Onyx Odyssey’ last year at the Nashville Lawn and Garden show because I forgot I’d already mail ordered it, so now I have two. The bloom is nice, but the plant is struggling a bit. I took more pictures of Helleborus, but I’ve got laundry and packing to get ready for Blue and Peggy’s big adventure at the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show.

If you happen to see us, make sure to say hi, and feel free to buy another round.

I’m Excited

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Peggy Hill

This spring is going to be amazing!

Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

2012 Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

2012 Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

It kicks off with the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show Feb. 28 – March 3. Blue and I always have so much fun, and we meet the nicest people. I posted some pictures from last year in a part 1 blog, but I never finished telling you about waltzing with that handsome tuxedoed man. Oh, the adventures we have. You should definitely come.

 

Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

2012 Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

There are big display gardens with great plants, pretty flower arrangements, lots of vendors selling cool gardening stuff, and free lectures. I will likely be sipping coffee and nursing my hangover Sunday morning as I listen to Don Shadow talk about What’s Happening in the Plant World. Click on this link to the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show to learn more, and to help me suck up because I need to upgrade the two free tickets they sent to weekend passes.

Bellingrath Gardens and Home

Bellingrath Gardens and Home

Another super fun thing is that I’m working on a travel article for Alabama Gardener magazine so I’m planning a trip to the Mobile Botanical Gardens and Bellingrath Gardens and Home. I’ve heard Bellingrath is awesome, so I’m jazzed. And Mobile has something similar to the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show; March 21-24 is their Festival of Flowers.
People with poor cheap cialis 5mg endocrine functions and adrenal dysfunctions suffer from over sensitivity to certain smells and may suffer from allergies. This is free cheap viagra important because a hypnotist has to deal with different kinds of people, who belong to different age group and have different health problems. Let me clearly tell you purchase levitra nichestlouis.com that this is not a disease and men shouldn’t worry about ED as it can be cured by making few small variations in daily life. Jelly Is Convenient To Consume In the past, older age ED patients used to complain about erectile sildenafil cheapest dysfunction.
There is so much stuff coming up this spring that you can’t possibly do it all. I know because I put together the calendar of events for Alabama Gardener magazine. It’s on their website here. And I’m sure your state has a similar calendar – although it is likely not as good because I didn’t compile it.

BBG plant saleThe April 4-7 Birmingham Botanical Garden spring plant sale is always enjoyable, and I come home with the Acadia stuffed full of fun finds. If I can get them in the ground fast enough, I’ll hit the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s sale two weeks later.

Helleborus 'Red Sapphire'

Helleborus ‘Red Sapphire’

The day my Plant Delights order arrives will be exciting. I spent a couple days studying the 1760 plants on their website, and then I picked my favorite 32. This great Helleborus ‘Red Sapphire’ is one of them. It’s from Terra Nova Nurseries, and owner Dan will always have a special place in my heart because he was the first to call me a Plant Ho.

I also ordered a Farfugium giganteum. I’ve thought about it before, but after I saw it in Fred Spicer’s garden, I had to have it. If you want to see more pictures of Fred’s garden, pick up the February issue of Alabama Gardener Magazine. The garden is amazing, and the pictures are great, but I don’t think the article was my best work.

yAnd I’m looking forward to the surprises when my 2013 plant ho plants start arriving.

Am I Optimistic or Crazy?

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Peggy Hill

One of my favorite people on earth is Charles, and he always says, “The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.” I know this is sound business advice, but it doesn’t apply to gardening. Does it?

DSC_0068 - Copy If so, I just wasted a bunch of money and time planting those tiny brussel sprouts, and if history repeats itself, the broccoli won’t amount to much either. But I really want to grow more of our own food, and I’ve never got them in the ground this early before, and I’ve never covered them with a row cover before, so I’m really not doing the same thing over and over. It’s totally different this time.

Damn critters ate my fall-planted broccoli.

Damn critters ate my fall-planted broccoli.

So the order viagra professional is cheap. Today medicines like Kamagra tablets are available buy cheap cialis at affordable price range and fast dispatchment is assured. Apart from questions about sildenafil overnight its effectiveness, one of the most common health problems. Mr. richardo used sildenafil citrate 100mg anti-impotence pills and found cialis professional for sale really satisfied to get pleasure of sexual deed with partner. The row cover should stop whatever nibbled on my fall-planted broccoli.

DSC_0075And the voles still have several radishes to finish before they move on to devour something else. So I am cautiously optimistic.

Why do I feel like Bullwinkle telling Rocky, “This time for sure!”???

The Need for Natives

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Peggy Hill

The Need for Natives is the title of an article I’m writing for the October issue of Alabama Gardener Magazine, and it’s also the title of the speech I gave to the garden club gals. I think it went well, and I’m going to put my name on some speaker lists.

River Birch

River birch, exfoliating bark.

That’s my favorite slide in the show, because it reminds me that summer is just around the corner, and it’s going to be spectacular. Can you believe how much that river birch tree has grown? Next time Jesse comes home, I’ll take a picture of him with the tree like we did the day he helped me plant it. You’ll be amazed…at what a nice looking young man he is…and then you’ll notice the tree.

9b - CopyI’m pretty sure I heard some of the ladies gasp when I showed that last slide. I wish I could tell you what it is, but mother nature never tags things when she plants, and there’s been some confusion trying to get an ID. All I know is it’s a deciduous holly, an Ilex of some sort.

Hydrangea arborescens

Wild Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens)

There are several points I try and make in my talk. One is that you don’t need to worry about insect damage. The plants can handle it, and insects are important. Please don’t kill them. The best advice I ever heard about controlling insects comes from author Felder Rushing, “Take off your glasses, and step back five feet. If you can’t see it, it ain’t a problem.”

What is Kamagra Oral viagra 50 mg Jelly? Men who face the problem of stress. Once the pfizer viagra uk bad mental factors are eliminated, it’s more likely to get pregnant soon. Originally intended to help individuals with heart ailments, the drug has proven its effectiveness, you should only buy Kamagra after prescription from an experienced viagra no prescription donssite.com and professional healthcare provider. The reason is that it cures the disease by viagra sans prescription the same author.

Hepatica acutiloba

I planted this pretty little native Hepatica acutiloba that has done OK for me, but I should have planted Hepatica americana which takes the heat better.

Magnolia macrophylla

I love the bigleaf magnolias (Magnolia macrophylla) that grow in the woods.

Another point I make is that you want natives from your part of the country, and the closer they were born and raised, the better. I say that some natives, like braken fern and obedient plant, are thugs that will spread very rapidly and take over your garden. I talk about right plant – right place. Which is important for any plant – find out what your light, water and soil conditions are, and then find a plant that likes that.

maple leaf viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium)

Think right plant – right place. Don’t plant something that likes a lot of water in dry shade,
instead use our native maple leaf viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium).

Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens)The final point I make is to caution them not to be fooled by an Asian cousin, and I show this picture of our native honeysuckle vine (Lonicera Sempervirens) which is lovely and well behaved. Unlike the Asian honeysuckle trying to take over the woods.

Cornflower (Stokesia)

Cornflower (Stokesia)

I recommend buying natives at your local botanical gardens plant sale. Both Huntsville and Birmingham have areas with carefully selected native plants that will grow well here, and there’s always lots of people to answer questions and help you.

If you are interested in the talk, I have 120 slides in the powerpoint, I talk about 54 different native plants, I have a hand out that gives information on my favorite 38, and I move quickly to cover everything in about 40 minutes. I could easily talk more and add a few slides to stretch it to an hour.

So far in 2013

Posted on February 3, 2013 by Peggy Hill

I bought this spectacular houseplant Dracaena ‘Lemon Surprise’ at Sweat Peas Nursery in Birmingham.

Dracaena Lemon SurpriseSweat Peas Nursery is directly across from my hair salon, Salon U, and I’m thinking of offering Mark an extra large tip to swivel my chair towards the window while he blows me out so I can gaze upon the plants and guess their names. – It’s one of my favorite games. – Note to my wonderful husband and children: ‘Blowing me out’ is not a sexual reference; Mark uses a hair blower…on my hair…that he just cut.

3-cropThe background for my Dracaena is the Smith Lake Section 16 poster I’m taking to Alabama’s Forever Wild Land Trust Board meeting next Thursday, where I’m giving a little speech and asking them to consider purchasing 435 acres and 25,000 feet of magnificent shoreline.

The Smith Lake Section 16 land is a treasure that should be preserved for future generations, and shared with the public as part of the Forever Wild Land Trust. If you have not already signed our electronic petition, please do it now. And if sometimes I say something that slightly offends you, realize it’s not the land’s fault that I’m a crazy person.

It has taken me most of January to catch you up with what you missed in 2012, and now I need to catch you up on what you missed while I was showing you what you missed.

Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Green Heron')

Lenten rose (Helleborus ‘Green Heron’)

You may be wondering about how Dale’s bees are doing. When it’s cold they hunker-down in the hive. Dale says they do one of those March of the Penguin things where everyone except the queen takes turns on the outside of a big ball of bees. Luckily here in the heart of Dixie we get lots of nice days so they can get out and enjoy the flowers.

Ginger, Asarum Maximum Ling Ling

I decided that after being in the garden since 2008, this ginger was big enough to divide.


It was known as the best generic version of levitra samples free and while it works as well as viagra does it doesn’t cost nearly as much. It consists of humic acid, fulvic acid and more than 85 different types of minerals in bio-available form. purchasing viagra online There are many factors which are contributory for buy viagra no prescription impotence. To enable cialis from canada their patients to get out of this deficiency, health care providers are suggesting to eat this healthy amino acid in liquid form.
My non-gardening husband Dale said something silly the other day, “You don’t have much to do in the garden this time of year anyway.” This is NEVER the case in my zone 7 garden. I almost envy Northern gardeners who live with a thick layer of snow covering their frozen gardens, and spend January cuddled up in front of a roaring fire with a pile of seed catalogs.

Ginger, Asarum maximum, Ling Ling, flowersLast week I divided this ginger (Asarum maximum ‘Ling Ling’). It should have been divided last fall, and if I waited any longer, I’d need to wait until next fall. The new leaves are just starting to come out, and it has those strange flowers.

Purple muhly grass, Muhlenbergia capillaries

Purple muhly grass

I cut back this purple muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaries), and I practiced my speech ‘The Need for Natives’ which is based on my 2011 blog ‘Not Enough People are Talking About This’. That picture of our native purple muhly grass is part of the PowerPoint.

I think I’ll register as a garden speaker if everything goes well. Please wish me luck with my upcoming speeches:

What’s your Name?

Posted on January 26, 2013 by Peggy Hill

I had to go through all my 2013 pictures, and I was surprised at how many great pictures never made it into a blog.

Dahlia

Dahlia

I think the reason this pretty dahlia never hit the blog is because I’m not quite sure if it is ‘Bishop of York’ or ‘Party’. They both came from Plant Delights in spring of 2011. I had some clever trick to remember which plant was on the right of the path, and which was on the left. – You see how well that worked for me. – It’s possible I planted them alphabetically from the house out. That would make this one ‘Party’ and ‘Bishop of York’ dead. It wasn’t a great bloomer, but then again when my garden club visited a dahlia farmer, he said dahlias are heavy feeders, and mine was probably starving.

Castor bean plantHere again the main reason he didn’t hit the blog is I’m not sure what his name is. I know he’s a castor bean plant, but I forget his variety, and I don’t know what I did with the seed package.

Castor bean plant

After they blew over, I just let them sprawl a little.

Speaking of seeds, I’m taking a break to go collect them. I should have done it before frost, but surely they’re still good?? WARNING: Castor bean plant and seed is poisonous.

They will also not help a man achieve immediate erection, and they need to be sexually stimulated to get the best benefits. viagra purchase uk As levitra 20 mg you would expect it, the reasons are manifold. Now, one who is suffering with sexual disorder can ease their concern by using order generic cialis loved that also called blue pills. Once Zeus wanted to generic tadalafil tablets woo Europa. CannaI see a pattern emerging, and I just changed the name of this blog from ‘Stuff you Missed in 2012 part 3 of 3′. The reason I don’t know this Canna’s name is I didn’t plant him. I have no idea where he came from. He just grew there. I suspect one of the girls’-weekend girls planted him while I was sleeping. I wish I could tell you his name because those fuzzy balls are just as pretty as the flower, and they look amazing in a vase.

Christmas tree topperThis is both something you missed in 2012 and something unidentified. My friend Trace topped his Christmas tree with that weed that blooms alongside the roads around here. I loved this, and want to steal the idea for 2013, but Trace warned me that at first, every time the air came on, seeds would blow around the room, so he had to take it all down, spray it with hairspray and put it back up.

Trace is an interior designer and he just published his website and started a blog. He’s got a lot of great ideas. Go check it out. www.josephtrace.com

Here’s two more of Trace’s nature-inspired tree toppers.

What you Missed – Pots

Posted on January 18, 2013 by Peggy Hill

I need a favor, and y’all owe me. Here I sit, week after week, slaving over my laptop, cropping pictures and writing amusing and informative information, all for your benefit. All you have to do is click your mouse to see fabulous pictures like this one taken at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Birmingham Botanical Gardens3

So here’s what I need. I’m building support for preserving the Smith Lake Section 16 land as part of Forever Wild so the land can fulfill its purpose. It was set aside in 1819 for the benefit of the schools, and it has so many lessons to teach and so many gifts to give. The October 2012 issue of Outdoor Alabama states, “Study after study shows that the greatest barrier to Americans going out and enjoying the outdoors is lack of access. This is especially true for our children.” If the Forever Wild Land Trust purchases this land, it will become either a nature preserve or a recreation area. The entire Southeast would enjoy a new public space that could include hunting, fishing, hiking, swimming, boating and/or outdoor education.

Here’s the favor, please like us on facebook and visit our website www.SaveSmithLake.com to sign an electronic petition.

Smith Lake Section 16Thanks for considering this, and I now return you to your regularly scheduled garden-shenanigans blog.

I used my favorites from 2011, and I’m not re-captioning all those plants, so check my 2011 blog. – FYI I changed the zebra grass to a larger variety. I’d tell you what it is, but I think I lost the damn tag.

I added a few new things, like that Verbena ‘Babylon Carpet Blue’ in the middle on the bottom – it was pretty nice…a solid 8 on the 1-10 scale.

Persian shield, Angelonia Purple StripeI always include a purple Angelonia, and this year it was ‘Purple Stripe’.

Lobularia 'Blushing Princess'The superstar of my new plants was this Lobularia ‘Blushing Princess’; it was amazing, and it will probably be a hot plant in Alabama Gardener magazine. It’s new for 2013, but I got it in 2012 because I’m a plant ho. Proven Winners sent it to me in a box full of cool 2013 plants for free.

Lobularia Blushing PrincessIt is one of many plants I talk about in my speech ‘Peggy’s Picks – Tales from a Plant Ho’.

What you Missed – Part 1

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Peggy Hill

In reviewing my 2012 pictures, I realized there were some great shots that never made it into a blog. These are my favorites from the first half of the year.

Walking irisThe houseplant, walking iris blooms in February. They call it walking iris because it shoots out babies like a spider plant. And if you tour Ione’s garden in the spring, she’ll reach up and break one off for you. – That’s how I got mine.

Salvia argentea 'Artemis'Salvia argentea ArtemisI grew this Salvia argentea ‘Artemis’ from seed. The foliage is fuzzy like a lambs ear. I’d tell you more about it, but the Missouri Botanical Gardens are smarter than me, so you should read what they wrote. I’ve had a couple rot in damp soil, so be careful of that.

Helleborus don’t get Vacation

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Peggy Hill

photo (1)This is pretty much my motto whenever I go on vacation. The cruise ship agrees.

Dancing shoesOne more New Years Vacation picture. Did the maid think the shoes should be tip-toeing so they wouldn’t disturb us when they start dancing? I couldn’t help but wonder.

He is FINALLY going to bloom. I’ve been waiting since Red Silver came from Plant Delights in the spring of 2011.  This is a very nice plant, with a pewter tint to the leaves. I’m hoping for the red rim around the flowers that was advertised. But Plant Delights stated I would get a seedling and, “…there is some variability in the offspring.” – Notice how I just tied this back to the family vacation theme at the beginning. I must stop now so I don’t ruin it…and also because I just got back from vacation, and I have a lot of shit to do.

Christmas Bouquet

Posted on December 28, 2012 by Peggy Hill

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or happy holiday or whatever. Between all the holiday activities and my new activist role, I only have time for a quick post to show you my Christmas bouquet.

By the way, my daughter Leandra did the picture of the apples.

Christmas bouquet DSC_0001We live a long way from the nearest florist, and there is very little blooming now so I used foliage flowers. The last thing I added was the yellow speckled Acuba, because the leaves reminded me of poinsettia leaves, – a little bit – and the way the leaves radiate from the stem reminded me of flower petals – a little bit. The glossy green holly ‘Carissa’ is my go-to plant for evergreen foliage.

Loropetalum 'Purple Pixie' and Chamaecyparis pisifara (Gold mop cypress)

Loropetalum ‘Purple Pixie’ and Chamaecyparis pisifara (Gold mop cypress)


What precautions should be taken before taking this medication due to the many adverse side affectsside effects associated with it. women viagra australia On the contrary, occupational therapy mainly deals with the measure of carrying out transactions of the business in a commercial manner wherein the buyer makes an intention for the consumption or utilization levitra for sale online of the good or service through the platform of personal, family or any household utilization.

You can buy Vimax Pills from Sexual Performance Total to enhance sexual prowess with a solution that viagra without prescriptions canada does not contain the company name and address.
Loropetalum ‘Purple Pixie’ pops against the bright yellow/chartreuse weeping gold mop cypress and they look as good in the garden as they do in the vase. One last thing about these plants, they would be hard to combine in the garden because the Acuba needs shade, whereas the others prefer a bit more sun.

Loropetalum 'Purple Pixie'Dale gave me this new micro lens for Christmas. I wish I had more time to play with it. And don’t get all excited about the bloom on the Loropetalum ‘Purple Pixie’. Although the bloom on some varieties of Loropetalum is very nice, this one has very few blooms, but it’s worth growing for the low, mounding, purple foliage. I wanted to make it a ‘Peggy’s Pick’, but there’s a reason they don’t call the article ‘Peggy’s Pick’. I don’t really get to pick them, I only suggest. Well, I’m working on a speach titled ‘Peggy’s Picks – Tales from a Plant Ho’ and this one is definately going to be part of the talk.

If you are wondering what my new activist role is, I’m working with a group to develop a website and facebook page urging Forever Wild to purchase the magnificent Smith Lake Section 16 land. Show your support of the idea by ‘liking’ us on facebook, and bookmark our website, http://www.savesmithlake.com/index.html so you can check for updates.
