Bit I do notice that some disappear, so I always make sure to order a few every year. They are small and their foliage is insignificant, so it's no big deal.EALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339266900036592543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-32962077819418878272008-05-14T07:25:00.000-07:002008-05-14T07:25:00.000-07:00Personally, I'd go with Brent&Becky's over MZ.Personally, I'd go with Brent&Becky's over MZ.EALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339266900036592543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-80130071316464536862008-05-14T06:25:00.000-07:002008-05-14T06:25:00.000-07:00The Acuminatas do look spectacular and might fit ...The Acuminatas do look spectacular and might fit nicely in the wild gardens of C&L.

We are always looking for the species that perform well, it is hard to tell from reading the glowing text in the catalogs which ones are really the best. The acuminata is going on our order list for fall. Any other recommendations?<BR/>Frances at Faire GardenFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-65004857673846156642008-05-13T05:53:00.000-07:002008-05-13T05:53:00.000-07:00Kylee, do you think an animal got at them?

You are the only person I have heard this from.<BR/><BR/>That is disappointing, particularly since you hurt yourself planting them.EALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339266900036592543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-54321027335176531492008-05-13T04:29:00.000-07:002008-05-13T04:29:00.000-07:00Liz, the unusual is always fun to see.

I've got 'Lady Jane' and after not doing a thing last year, blooming the year before that, this year they're back better than ever. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>The Colorblend mixed tulips you sent me that I got a black eye during planting last fall? Not a single one came up! Maybe they'll make an appearance next year.

Our 'Little Beauties' have finally bloomed, after I'd given up hope they'd appear this year because due to a bad freeze period last year, we lost over half of our Darwins over the winter (and we had several hundred planted! waahh). The species ones made it through just fine, though, and have started to naturalize. Yay!<BR/><BR/>Speaking of the odd and bizarre (plants after our hearts, the weirder the better), have you ever planted a <I>Dracunculus vulgaris</I> or Dragon Arum? Ours is up and multiplying this year, much to our delight. If you're interested, stop by my place and use the tags on the recent post to see what it turns into, hehe. One of those bizarro world plants that makes people stop and stare as they go by!Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.com
