Comments on: Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day, Part 2 http://tangledbranches.com/blog/2010/06/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-part-2/ happenings in and around my zone 6b gardens in northern Virginia and in central Virginia Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:45:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: entangled http://tangledbranches.com/blog/2010/06/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-part-2/comment-page-1/#comment-485 entangled Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:38:55 +0000 http://tangledbranches.com/blog/?p=275#comment-485 Hmmm, now that you mention it, I started thinking about which of my plants might be the oldest. That one is definitely in the running. Hmmm, now that you mention it, I started thinking about which of my plants might be the oldest. That one is definitely in the running.

If it's P. incarnata and it does prove hardy there, well....I'm getting close to dropping the H(erbicide)-bomb on it here. It might be possible to control it with diligence, but I don't spend enough time there to be able to pull out every shoot as soon as it appears. I think some of the other species and hybrids are not quite as aggressive? The asclepias usually blooms twice a year for me, once in early summer and once in late summer, but the early summer bloom is heavier. Oh boy, I don’t know about the passionflower.

All my daylilies in the suburbs are in part shade ('cause I don't have any place that's full sun there), but they seem to do fine with no more than a few hours of sun. It really glows in twilight.

That day lily must be so special! I like your time lapse shots. That's so cool to see how they open. Wow, 20 years ago? That day lily must be so special! I like your time lapse shots.

I am now a little worried about the passionflower vine I planted. It is, however, supposed to not be hardy here... do you think I'm safe? The asclepias is another August-bloomer for me, typically, but after reading your list it occurred to me that I saw a couple with color on the flower buds. Is this early for them to bloom in your garden, too? Hmm. I am now a little worried about the passionflower vine I planted. It is, however, supposed to not be hardy here… do you think I’m safe?

I like their variety in bloom seasons but I wish I had more sun in my yard. I love the color of this one. I am just getting into daylilies.
