Thanks Chico! I may buy some hostas from you if you have some I don't. I need to separate mine badly too. I have a few varieties started in the greenhouse for next year from seed.
Love the hibiscus. I have every colour of Rose of Sharon but the white one. I will have to come visit in the fall when the seeds are ready. Beautiful as usual.

14+,did you say buyI don't think soo.
I have one bluish/greeen Hosta and 4 of the kind of common ones. Seeds?? Does that mean you want me to keep the wilted flowers on the Hibiscus. I know nothing of growing from seeds

Yes, I said buy. The bluish green may be one I don't have. I will have to check.
No, you don't have to keep the wilted flowers on the plant. The plant forms seed heads quite well. Unless you cut the whole dead flower off? I usually don't. I just take the flower part off and let the plant do it's job.

ummm ladies can i ask a really stupid flower question.. i am more a rose kinda person, never really paid much attention to day lilies. Do they grow seed pods? My neighbour gave me some this spring 'cause i was told to get a hobby.. and the pretty yellow one, with the brown stripe has what looks like a seed pod on it.

It won't be a viable plant for a couple of years. It will be too small. What you can do is put the seed in a pot and keep watered but not soaked. The seed takes about a month or more to sprout so don't give up on it. Some just don't sprout. Keep the pot in a window that gets some light but not a lot. Heat will kill the seed. You don't have to do it till spring if you don't want to.

Beautiful Hibiscus Chico, I love them. My garden is in dire need of attention right now I'm hoping to get to it this weekend.
14k - With the Lily seed pods - do you wait until they go brown I've always nipped them off..............Help |

Just leave the lily pods on until you can actually see the seeds inside. They will be brown when they are ripe and the pod will start to open to release the seeds.

Hazel,I swear,NOBODY can go wrong with Black-Eyed Susans,they are indestructablenot even Hazel and 8 dogs..
Aslan,I never thought of you as a"rose"person,roses are usually for older ladies like me. I actually got sick from the strong smell of a yellow rose right under my window,normally(when I am not sick)I love it.

Chris,shame on youI am very proud of "my"Swedish group
Aslan,I remember when Abba won the European Songfestival a loooong time ago(even though I was only 2yrs old),with "Waterloo"and that's how their wirlwind of success got started. The blond girl,Agneta,had such a clear beautiful voice.

Here I am hijacking my own threadoh well,I am allowed..
Aslan,Agneta is actually a typical Swede,she made her money,is still making money,now she's living life the way she wants too,with her animals and out of the lime-light. Chris,I can't say I've listened to any of those groups,they were probably more my sons faves. I do love Elton John,was never a fan of the Beatles..

k just so the hijack isn't total, ummm do you leave or pull gladiola bulbs in the fall, i've heard both sides...
K now back to music, like ozzy, and zeplin too, but like mellow stuff to, can't stand the beatles. or the rolling stones. |

Oh,Oh,you have to ask 14+about Gladiolas-bulbs,I have no idea..I leave all my bulbs in over winter,but don't have any Gladiolas.
As for music again,I too cannot stand The Stones,the ugliest group in the Universe,but since I am 64yrs old,the Stones were always my 46yr old sons faves. I LOVE the Eagles,loved Queen...I do love all kinds of music,from Latin to some Classical,depending on what mood I am in...

oh and i have grown glads before, my ex's mom said you had to pull the bulbs and put them in a brown paper bag for the winter, so i did, and the dizzy broad threw the bag out.

Popular opinion is to take them out and overwinter them in a dry, cool spot. I put my bulbs I take up in dry peat moss and layer between sheets of newspaper.

I have Rose of Sharon envy. That's one plant I've never had any success with, period. I've got plants from friends, bought plants, never could get any of them to grow. I'm gonna have to try again one of these years. Yours is stunning.
