Yes please, especially for us in the possible nor'easter track - 6" - 12" snow possible Sunday.

I agree too! We need some colors of warmth. Lily's, ponds and other flowers. Having DT's here.

I hope these aren't too big but I've resized them and they stay the same..very strange. Sorry!
Anyway, the frost must have missed these.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh, thanks everyone- keep 'em coming!

What are those incredible white flowering shrubs?!

perplexed ponder · « **Reply #12 on:** April 14, 2007, 02:09:54 AM »

Reedman-

nor easter? 6-12 " ! Where are you located? AND WHY?! Man, I thought it was bad in Michigan! Your making me feel downright tropical!

luvmyasagis · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2007, 04:36:30 AM »

Thanks everybody, my Azaleas really took off this year after a hair cut last year. Even the honeysuckle vine went crazy

but no matter how much I cut in 1 week it is back I am scared of weed killers simply because my azaleas are 5-6 foot, and the white ones are even taller so any suggestions you all my have on the honeysuckle would be great. My roses have not bloomed yet they are new for this year, but I will post pics. as they bloom. ;)They were planted in the back since our lawn is zoysia grass and is the hubbys baby I am limited on where I can plant. sorry no pics of the pond for now since we are doing another pond every thing around the now pond is a mess so no pics till it looks better. I have one waterlily in bloom if the storms permit today I will get a pic. and post it.

perplexed ponder · « **Reply #14 on:** April 14, 2007, 05:06:12 AM »

You can send your honeysuckle to me, I killed mine. I'm sure I can do the same for yours. I wanted to keep mine, hummingbirds came to it.
Those are azaleas?! WOW they are huge!! Gorgeous!

luvmyasagis · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2007, 05:16:58 AM »

It is wild honeysuckle but if you want it pm me your addy and I will send you some for sure. I like them but they are choking out the Azaleas. I cant get over their size either, there is a yard man that comes by all the time and he wants to cut them to the ground

I am almost ready to get nasty with him he can't take no for an answer.Now I am on the hunt for an orange azalea it is called gilbrater or something like that and one that has yellow,purple blooms called Washington state centinal I have only found them at Wayside gardens though. Thanks for the comments.

perplexed ponder · « **Reply #16 on:** April 14, 2007, 07:06:07 AM »

Thanks really, but I ripped out that entire garden since then. I have seen orange azaleas! They usually get them at the nurseries up here. Not sure the name. They should all be coming in another week or so, I can check for you if you want.

He wants to cut down the azaleas?! Is he CRAZY?! Why on earth would he want to do that?!

luvmyasagis · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2007, 08:40:18 AM »

Are they the deep orange like they have at wayside gardens

please do check for me. Yes I think he is crazy we have lived here a little over 3 years and every few weeks here he comes. He seems to be rather hard headed I have told him over and over no he is not touching them I am really tired of being nice about it I am fixing to get nasty with him.

perplexed ponder · « **Reply #18 on:** April 14, 2007, 11:53:05 AM »

I checked the Wayside site. I'm pretty sure they are the same ones. I will check the names to be sure when they come. I am going to a big garden expo there next weekend, I would expect them to be in by then. The cold weather has slowed things down a little up here. I'm pretty sure Home depot got some last year too. I thought the color was fabulous, but they are tricky here, need alot of winter protection, that's why I didn't buy it.

Now those are nice. I love the huge rock wonder if it was already there or if they had it moved in.

luvmyasagis · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2007, 04:31:14 PM »

Well this is the only lily I have in bloom now.What about some more fish pics. if ya want to see them I have them I never tire of showing them off.

perplexed ponder · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2007, 04:33:39 PM »

Sure! Fish are great!!
Beautiful lily, I see you are netted, do you have a heron?

I think those rocks were brought in, it's a professional company. I'm sure they cost more than my whole house! Sure does make a nice waterfall!

luvmyasagis · « **Reply #23 on:** April 14, 2007, 04:43:06 PM »

No heron, neighbors cat. I had an 18" koi got by it what it did dot eat it took to her as a gift :'( that pond is a very small pond all it has in it is baby koi but I don't want them to be lunch, but belive me the big pond is netted also for that reason and the simple fact I have a couple of jumpers. But here are some fish pics. from this evening.Sorry hit the wrong button
