Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Saturday Gardening Thread, How's June workin' out for ya? [KT]Edibles Anybody planted watermelon? Be prepared. From my creative niece brigade.Just thought everyone would like to see the Rain Lilies Zephyranthus Atamasco that popped up on my property after a violent thunderstorm we had the other day. Seems here in Central Florida, they only do that after an extreme heavy rain and thunderstorm which makes them bloom, and then when they are done in a week or so, they disappear again until next year. Last year they didn't appear at all, and this year they are putting on quite the display. Hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do. Although you can get them thru a native nursery, they grow wild and these are a wild colony. What's funny is that I also have them growing haphazardly over my lawn with one here and two there. They also grow along roads around here until they disappear in a week or so. They are one of the few native wildflowers here in central Florida. Not common but a joy to see when they appear. Our visit to the San Diego Botanic Garden this week showed that the Sapphire Tower plant from Chile was blooming. It's a gorgeous color. Kind of a teal/turquoise with these bright orange stamen. I've never seen a color quite like this before. Really beautiful. The bachelor buttons that seeded from last year help cover the dying leaves from my bulbs. Great little accident. Glad I didn't pull the seedlings out last winter. at g mail dot com Include your nic unless you want to remain a lurker. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1
Awoke to storms again this morning.
Our garden is automatically watered this Spring. Or washed away. Some of both. Posted by: mindful webworker - caturday link at June 15, 2019 01:22 PM (At/8G) 2
First striking, then frightening. Opened the Ace sight, and was mesmerized by the beautiful iris. The page hadn't yet loaded completely, and the photo of that worthless Oberlin piece of flesh replaced the iris on the screen. Yikes!!

Finally got the big garden mostly planted. It was too wet to till for weeks. I had a few days to plant and it's back to rain. I need to get mulch in around tomatoes and peppers but that will also bring slugs.

Is that a flag iris, as opposed to a bearded iris?

The photos on this thread are always at least interesting and usually gorgeous. But that top photo of the iris is just breathtaking. I should copy it and print it out. What a study for drawing. (Usual disclaimer: nobody sees my 'efforts' except me so the art world is safe.)

We're having a really cold and wet spring / early summer in Michigan. More rain than needed, the farmers couldn't plant, temps have been way down. My apples and raspberries are probably 3 weeks behind the normal schedule.

Flowers here in Southern Colorado are enjoying the May rains we had. Lots more blooms than usual.
I'm extremely pleased that I was finally successful at getting dianthus Tiny Rubies to act like the perennial it is. I planted it in a spot I thought it would hate - - too hot and dry. But it said, "Thank you very much. Here's a carpet of blooms." Posted by: Emmie Oakley at June 15, 2019 01:33 PM (4HMW8) Posted by: Fritz at June 15, 2019 01:33 PM (kLDv+) 14

You are correct in that it is not a bearded iris. Lots of irises are called "flags", though. I don't know enough to tell whether it is Japanese, Louisiana, Missouri, Siberian, etc. Posted by: KTbarthedoor at June 15, 2019 01:34 PM (BVQ+1) 15

Got my gardens planted, and now it is a grind to keep the bindweed, amaranth and thistles kept down.
I am doing a trial 3-sisters plot with mounds for corn, squash and beans (and volunteer tomatoes, peppers and a single sunflower popping up in between) where my compost heap used to be. The corn and squash is taking off, but the beans are lagging. Posted by: Kindltot at June 15, 2019 01:35 PM (hSQmw) 17

Nothing startling in out garden but things are happening. The chives continue to thrive, the dill grew a foot almost over night, the leaf lettuce is ready to pick, and the tomato plants have small green fruits starting. We haven't even killed the cucumber plant yet. Now if I can convince the damn birds and squirrels that the automat is in NYC, not our backyard.

Have you ever visited the Magnolia Plantation? My niece probably visited before they bloomed there. But the Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) were blooming.

Probably 20 years ago a peacock took up residence here, dusk it went to my roof then up to tree next to house. Quite noisy in morning but all in all was neat to have. Disappeared just like it showed up.

Awesome iris ... nice display of bachelor's buttons ... hiding old bulb leaves. I leave my bulbs' leaves till they turn brown, which gives them time to store energy to make it through next winter.
Lots of rain here so watermelon and cantaloupe went in late, added more cantaloupe seed a couple days ago. Strawberries fading but lots of raspberries from canes saved from last year, and more canes for fall crop (as I understand it). My picking speed matches my eating speed on raspberries, but didn't notice a stink bug once ... they are numbing on the lips ... managed to spit him out without biting in, but felt almost like a bee sting. Lots of mowing and weeding so far, in between rain rain rain. cheers to you producers of all things horticulture. Posted by: illiniwek at June 15, 2019 01:46 PM (Cus5s) 28

They are from Tony Litwin, our carnivorous plant specialist. He is interested in some other plants, too. I'll make a note. Posted by: KTbarthedoor at June 15, 2019 01:50 PM (BVQ+1) 29
the only thing I can figure to do with bindweed and thistle is to keep the weeds down by only spot irrigating, raking the soil regularly to uproot all the small weeds as they sprout, and use a shovel to dig down next to the bindweed or thistle as they pop up.
When they are sprouting from a stub of a root, as they always do, there is always a cluster of weeds growing up. I don't think it is possible to kill bindweed, but you can make it pretty depressed after a while. There was a book called "Greener Than You Think" by Ward Moore in which a modified burmuda grass took over the world. I think about that when I think of bindweed.

KT, a fun thing to do with Tiny Rubies is to pass your hand over the plant while it is in bud. All the little buds hit your fingers in a fascinating way. Plus, the blooms have that lovely clove fragrance.
Posted by: Emmie Oakley at June 15, 2019 01:57 PM (4HMW8) 32
Looks like Siberian iris, based on the bloom shape and foliage.
Japanese iris typically has small to non-existent standards (upward-facing petals). Posted by: Brunette the 'Ette at June 15, 2019 01:57 PM (adsVM) 33

We have a neighborhood invader that a woman some years planted (then moved), called sweet autumn clematis (C. terniflora). Laughs at roundup.

Temps have been cool in NoVA, even with a few hot days. Also good amount of rain. A native Dutchman's pipe somehow showed up a few years ago and I haven't been able to get rid of it. I have a few plants of Cobra's Eye iris and enjoyed them for two days before a day of rain reduced them to pulp. Earlier my azaleas didn't fare much better for the same reason. I am not quite at the "there's always next year yet" but not far.

MarkY, these were planted some time in the last century, but there are far nicer roses than these on the market. An arch would be wonderful if I had anywhere to put it.
My sister got bored a couple of years ago and took these roses all down to the ground, and they were back up in a couple of years, and are now a hazard again while I am mowing.

Late to the party again, as usual. Just wanted to say the only thing grown here in the summer is cotton. Lots and lots of cotton. When the fields are cleared in about October, then it's lots and lots of lettuce. Texas Purple Sage does well all year. Seems to bloom whenever it feels like it. It's the only plant I have that the jackrabbits don't eat.

The excessive rain in these parts really is hindering the flowering plants in my containers. One would think that moisture would be great for them, maybe too much of a good thing? Also a few weeks ago it wasn't just wet, it was cold too.
Nothing like last year. The hummingbird mint seems to be taking its time coming up, the other perennial flowers look kind of puny...but at least I'm seeing pollinators, that's a good thing. Posted by: kallisto at June 15, 2019 04:11 PM (kD8Fh) 84
