Re: Win a copy of Designer Plant Combinations!

Can't wait to take a closer look at the book. I make mistakes all the time...mostly by putting plants in to keep them alive and then editing and moving and pruning later. Obviously, I need to do this in a more efficient order.

Re: Mystery bush 1

Could it be a mock orange? They have a really nice fragrance, but can become leggy without enough sun.

Re: Any idea what this is?

It is Red Hot Poker. I grew some from seed...and it took a coiple of years to bloom. It's a definite keeper.

Re: Worried this might be invasive - it appeared on its own in several places

I have the same thing...and don't know what it is. It has a vary deep root amking it almost impossible to pull up. Pretty convinced that it is a weed. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: What are the best hand pruners?

I'm on my second set of Felcos and think they are the best...sharpest and wrist friendly. The expense is an issue...but they last for years so it all evens out.

Re: Columbine?

Definately a columbine.
