Also looking at a hybrid currant called 'Viking' which is said to be "virtually immune" according to One Green World.

So, Lily, it has been a while since you posted anything here about currants. What's new? Any new recs for currants resistant to White Pine Blister Rust? I'm looking at Ribes odoratum 'Crandall' for it's beauty, and also because it seems to have quite a bit of tolerance for poor soil and heat.

I like that there are visitors to the tree. #photography

Same

You other skeeters can't deny...

Fabulous!

Love this tree!

gorgeous

Love this!

Talk about the difference your congregation made in your community this year. Tell them why you are excited to be part of the ministry (or ministries) you are involved in. Be authentic. Make it personal. Just be you. You got this.

Well, now that's top of my wishlist! Thank you for posting!

Other than being tricky to transplant, I see no reason that Common Milkweed wouldn't thrive for you once established. It can take years to establish though. Patience!

Swamp is a robust grower, but a short lived plant, especially if you have milkweed weevils. If you do get weevils, keep the soil around the plant very swamp-like.

Butterfly Weed has good years and bad. It does not like it's feet wet and the young ones can be badly damaged by aphids unless they are protected until they are old enough to shrug them off. Also it does not like a lot of mulch around it's roots.

I found Spider and Whorled to be difficult to keep alive.

Nice shot, beautiful bird, stunning photo.

Parmesan cheese is the answer to everything.

We had the same year!

Wait, I haven't noticed a difference on my phone app. Maybe I'm missing something. Where do I make this choice?

Wow!

Love this

Interesting

Thomas Jefferson's favorite tree. I love my fringe trees. I was lucky enough to get a male and a female many years ago. Sadly, they are now infested with emerald ash borers.

Lol

Love those guys!

Nice work there!

Oh, boy!

Ugh. As much as I love bugs, I don't appreciate bugnadoes.

Thank you!

Can't wait for ours to flower so we can see what they are. We planted 3. Crossing our fingers to have both male and female.
