Company Gone FINALLY.. Strawberry POT, Plant IDs??, fall pictures and BEES!
« on: September 13, 2006, 05:41:39 PM »
Finally after almost 3 weeks my company is gone and I can concentrate on ponding again and all the fall MOVING and relocating plants project :)  ........

I love the way my sedums are blooming but they are going to have to go.. I have been stung by 3 bees in the last week. One went up my pants leg tonight and stung me on the hip.    These plants are BEE MAGNETS... 100's of them.. anyone else have that problem as the sedums start turning?  These are being moved to the furthest spot up on my bank I can possibly carry them.

Bees love my sedums too, they also love my salvia.  Luckily i've never been stung.  What is that plant behind the sedum?  It kinda looks like a bengal tiger canna.  I don't know what ground covers those are either but they are pretty.  I bet Joyce would know what they are.

The ground cover sedum is Sedum sarmentosum.
Although 'common', it is one of my absolute favorte sedums,
and I started mine from a little sprig I 'liberated' from a rock formation at a wholesaler.

Yup, the tall sedums are bee magnets.
When we lived in NC, I had it around the base of my mailbox.
When it started blooming, my mailman Jack was stung a few times,
and he finally asked me to move it. He also said he admired it.
So I did move it, and gave Jack a big piece of it too.
Jack eventually got nice big pieces of lots of perennials,
let him help himself before we moved.

Now, when I plant any of the tall sedums,
I plant them far away from pathways and the patio. (8:-)

Tink, I am in the middle of a big relocating project too. :)

Bee-oo-tee-full Tink!  I love how the ground covers have filled in the spots on the flat rocks, and I keep meaning to get a sweet potato vine, I always forget.  Now is the time for me to make my plant list of "wants" for next spring!  Your gardens look wonderful!  :)

Tinkster, you obviously love plants..I do too! In fact I am unable to go past a pile of 'greenwaste' without looking through it for cuttings much to DH's embarassment. I am in the process of lanscaping my new pond which started out with a 'spare' Japanesey look and is fast shaping up as a potential jungle.  ;D. Thanks for showing us your plants. Carole

I have some tall sedum like that. It lives in a big pot and I 've had it several years now and I love it. It hasn't been so bad about attracting bees at this house but it really attracted them bad when we lived at our other place. My husband used to get mad about it because he hates bees.

Gorgeous!  Beautiful garden and pond.  Is that a lotus with the big leaves?  Is it in a whiskey barrel size tub?  I'm getting really intrigued by lotus and want to see if they will grow well in the desert.

In a word Tink, Teresa said it - LUSH!

My tropical waterlilies are my bee magnates - 100's at a time on some afternoons, but unable to get rid of those, the bees and I have settled into an uneasy coexistance. Haven't been stung though - that would call off the truce big time.

Gorgeous garden there.

Cheers,

Mike
