Mighty Garden Blog: The Blog of Henry David Thoreau (Who Knew?) 2007-06-14 06:56:02 I'll be damned. HenryDavid
Thoreau has a blog, called The Blog of Henry David Thoreau. I'm continually amazed at the pure genius one finds if one sits by the river long enough. More, even Walt Whitman apparently has a blog, appropriately named I, Walt Whitman, A Blogger. ...

Big Sky Coneflower Sunset, Big Sky Abomination - Never (Ever) Grow This Plant 2007-06-13 08:42:49 I was driving innocently (okay, not so innocently) down the street a year or so ago and was struck dumb(er than usual) by a purple coneflower that was...orange? Bright pastel orange. Some strange mutant coneflower plant and if there is one there are sure to be more mutants ...

Rose Home Run - Son of Knockout Roses 2007-06-12 05:05:16 Bred from Knockout roses, Home Run rose is extremely disease resistant and in my mind one of the best new red roses for the garden, should you be comfortable with single roses (which hopefully you will be). Knockout roses, both the original and offspring such as Pink Knockout roses, ...

Brutal - Your Least Favorite Plant (at Gardening Intoxicated) 2007-06-11 07:50:59 Oh man.

Anyway, while I can't understand how anyone could hate purple coneflower so passionately (as Elizabeth ...

Pampas Grass - Never (Ever) Grow This Plant 2007-06-11 06:45:29 The subject of our latest evisceration in the plant world, Pampas Grass, Cortaderia selloana, is, admittedly, like shooting fish in a barrel. I want to emphasize that any cowboys from Argentina (gauchos) that want to grow Pampas Grass to remind them of home are fully exempt from my comments ...

Siberian Iris and (so much) more - A Gardening Year 2007-06-10 10:11:42 I was looking around for information about Siberian
Iris and came upon A Gardening Year. Well...I (finally) learned the bloom sequence of Iris (Bearded > Japanese > Siberian), and then proceeded to take a gander around A Gardening Year. Well-written with plenty of photographs, the style gives one ...

Hydrangea arborescens Annabelle 2007-06-20 07:51:53 Hydrangea arborescens Annabelle offers an opportunity for those cold climate gardeners that fancy a hydrangea or three.

Rose Paul Neyron 2007-06-19 06:53:23 The most noteworthy feature of rose Paul Neyron is the size of the roses, which are considered to be (perhaps) the largest found on any garden rose; immense blossoms of cerise pink may be as much as seven inches wide. Paul Neyron is sometimes referred to as a [tag]cabbage rose[/tag] ...
Prickly Pear Cactus 2007-06-19 00:51:02 I wandered past prickly pear cactus for years, somewhat mystified as to why anyone in the humid hot magnolia-laden South would grow a cactus native to the Southwest and Mexico.

Coreopsis Zagreb 2007-06-23 02:26:31 Coreopsis verticillata Zagreb, along with Coreopsis verticillata Moonbeam, was one of the first Coreopsis to find its way into my garden.

Blackberry Lily - Belamcanda chinensis 2007-06-21 07:18:09 Hmmm....I wonder where the perennial blackberry lily gets its name. Perhaps blackberry lily blooms at the same time that blackberries set fruit (which does seem to be true in my neck of the woods). Sounds good, but common wisdom is that blackberry lily gets its moniker because the clusters ...
White Coneflower 2007-07-23 09:16:55 Gardenmob readers have come to expect a certain amount of love passed from me to coneflowers, especially pale coneflower. There is one notable exception in this lovefest - the Big Sky coneflowers. [tag]White
