some plant ID's and some pics just to share...:) more pics updated
« on: June 05, 2007, 06:51:22 AM »
heya all,

I wnt to a little flower farm run by a couple of older folks, and picked up some plants that they kinda had bare root/overgrown in their pond section.  they had phenomenal terrestrial plants, and their display pond was nice, but the plants they had in stock werent new nursery samples. i thought i might like some starts of stuff, and hoped to get a deal. what i got was some interesting starts and some stuff i am now sure the name of.  pics below:







looks like i have some sweet flag maybe, and some bog bean... but i cant tell the others very well... maybe the pics are not that great...:P

Also... osme pics of my pond assistants.

Tank on "Tough Dog guarding against Squirrels" duty  {:-P;;



and fish on "Where is my damn food?" duty



ok... got tons to do today.... ciao

I see the pickeral also. The round leaved one looks like marsh marigold to me.

Good deals are great.  Nice looking Chow Chow, love that face. 

Here's my thoughts on the plants:
Pot #1 I see some pickeral
Pot #2 reminds me of Penny Wort?
Pot #3 ?

Looks like Pot #1 everybody agrees its Pickerel!  That's one down........

Kim, i agree there... i know theres some small sprigs of water celery in there too, and of course the bog bean. 

ok... so more pics, for instance my highly prize Forget Me Not collection...:P



my wife likes hostas, but doesn't like Variegated... thats ok because Variegated likes HER!



WARNING!! INCOMING CLEMATIS!! EVERYONE STAY IN YOUR HOMES AND PLEASE DO NOT PROVOKE IT!!




Grackle in the pool cover... people hate grackles... i don't...  i mean even ugly birds gotta get some love, right?



ok
thanks

she told me to tell you that she doesn't mind variegated when its green and white, kim. most of what you sent are good that way, apparently its the green with yellow streaks that set her off... :)

First picture, plant on the left looks like Primrose Willow.  I'm sure your doggy is a nice doggy... but I think Chows are the only dog I'm scared of.  He sure does look nicely taken care of!  Can't imagine all the brushing!
