What it does is scatter seeds, and the seedlings pop up in spring. <BR/>If you like the flowers, I hope they pop up for you. Hummingbirds like it and the species is in the native wildflower database at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center - maybe she liked this one as much as we do. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-82510108241416963262007-07-16T16:04:00.000-06:002007-07-16T16:04:00.000-06:00Connie - I'd love to have you stroll through my ga...Connie - I'd love to have you stroll through my garden too!<BR/><BR/>Lisa - I was really luck with the butterfly...my first photo!<BR/><BR/>QT - I left a note on your blog.<BR/><BR/>NG - Thanks for letting me know my butterfly kind and especially that it is a GIRL... so great to know.<BR/><BR/>LostRoses... don't you wish more pink and red salvias were hardy here?

Your roses are just fabulous, I'm going to have to look into Peace of Mind. <BR/><BR/>I love that salvia, I found one this year called Navajo Pink which was also a stunner. Unfortunately I planted it near some wave petunias and I haven't seen it since (must move it).<BR/><BR/>Your penstemon looks like my favorite one also, which is over its first flush and is working on some more.

Rust-infected stalks should be removed as<BR/>soon as the plants are through blooming and destroyed with any leaves that have fallen. The round leaf mallow weed in<BR/>the vicinity should be destroyed as well to insure that the fungus has no material on which to survive the winter. Dusting<BR/>the plants with sulfur or spraying with fungicides will aid in controlling the disease. Many of the all-purpose garden<BR/>sprays or dusts contain chemicals that will aid in the disease control. Dusting and spraying should begin early in the<BR/>season making sure to keep new foliage covered with the spray or dust, especially the underside of the foliage.<BR/>Providing good air circulation about the plants will lessen the chance of the disease spreading. This may necessitate thinning out some plants. <BR/>Hope this helps you and your beautiful hollyhocks,<BR/>cheers GiselaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-36464978534455827812007-07-15T16:52:00.000-06:002007-07-15T16:52:00.000-06:00Hello Bev,You have a wonderful array of flowers fo...Hello Bev,<BR/><BR/>You have a wonderful array of flowers for this mid-July Blooms Day. If the 'Coral Nymph' likes your garden you may have lots to give away... I bought one plant 5 or so years ago. That plant died, but there are always seedlings every year in late spring. <BR/><BR/>My fellow Austin gardener, Pam from 'Digging', would like to comment on your blog, but she's not on Blogspot/Blogger, and your comments set-up won't let her talk to you.... she left you a note in the comments at MayDreams garden.<BR/><BR/>Happy Garden Blogger Bloom Day!<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-75726829241187557012007-07-15T16:14:00.000-06:002007-07-15T16:14:00.000-06:00Hi Bev, Nice to meet you!

I no longer have family there, but still love to visit and stroll around downtown and the FAC. Saw a great exhibit at the FAC Modern last summer.<BR/> <BR/>I had several neighbors while growing up in the old "North End" who were very avid gardeners. In fact, one of them suggested my career path as a landscape designer---I feel forever grateful, as I just love it, even after all of these years.<BR/> <BR/>Glad to hear that you are letting the "gardening bug" run away with you!<BR/> <BR/>Happy gardening,<BR/>JocelynJocelyn H.
