Colarette Dahlia

collarette dahlia

Got this bulb as part of a collection two years ago. I've been trying to find it sold by its name but so far no luck. Searching the net, I found Ace if Hearts and Rosita that looks like it. Can anyone help me name this dalhia?

Wincherster Cathedral English Rose

Winchester Cathedral English Rose
The image of this rose is no longer in the Photo Index or the Payloadz store. It's now part of the Garden Image website.

On the new Joomla managed site, it will be easier for me to make updates. This rose has survived one winter in my garden so far. More photos will be taken this year. This David Austin rose was worth the detour to find it.

More will be deleted from the Photo index.

Time for Tulips

My tulips are almost done, I started lifting them for inspection and storage. The lily flowered tulips have produced several new bulbils. They were dusted with sulfur, and now left in baskets to cure. Once the leaves have dried off, they will then be moved to paper bags until its time to replant in the fall.

You can view images of my tulips on Garden Images

They will now be replaced by summer bulbs like, Sprekelia, Cannas and lots of Dahlias.

Sir Winston Churchill Daffodils

Sir Winston Churchill daffodils

These double flowering narcissus, are reliable and easy to grow. For the first 5 years or so, I left them undisturbed in my rock garden. Then I started lifting them to divide and store for the summer in a cool garage. In the fall I replant in amended soil.

More details included on my new Garden Images website.
