LOL <br />I don't use bloodmeal .. I prefer plain old bonemeal .. but I trick I learned a couple of years ago .. for roses .. is Epsom salts starting May to August .. a half a cup in a circle away from the stalk but with in the plant root area .. it really works to keep it healthy and strong !<br /><br />Jen girl that gal I was e-mailing says I "said they could substitute with something as close as possible" .. honestly ? I do NOT remember adding those comments .. because it was ZD that I wanted !!<br /><br />Thanks Rose girl : )<br />I have one ZD and I love it so much I really wanted another one .. I guess I will find out what this Louise Odier will be like .. it is an old Bourbon rose (French .. late 1800's) with scent thankfully !<br />LOL .. Larry and Moe would be happy to see Curly I just know it .. I won't know if this experiment worked for this tiny lovely creature or not for a while yet .. fingers crossed because I do love butterflies so much !<br /><br />Thanks Lisa girl .. I planted them with lots of love and fingers crossed they will look gorgeous!<br />Yes !! we can never have enough pollinators and I try my best with so many plants in the garden for them to feed and rest : )<br /><br />Sandy girl I am sure that is what happened too .. but I will try again late summer and see if I can catch her ? haha<br />YES ! I found it on a site .. about having them stay in the fridge over winter .. but the true test is to see if he/she will emerge .. I so hope it will !!CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-35845827484109208352012-04-19T16:46:23.212-04:002012-04-19T16:46:23.212-04:00Sorry about your rose.

I will bet they ran out while filling orders.<br /><br />Did you read how to winer over the cocoon, or was that your own idea?

We want all of those pollinators out there. Good luck with your roses.

When I couldn't get 'Zephirine' last year, I picked 'Don Juan' which had some gorgeous deep red blooms. But I still want a 'Zephirine', too! <br /><br />I've never tried to bring a butterfly inside; amazing that he survived in the fridge all this time. I hope he emerges safely and finds some companions...maybe Larry and Moe?:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-1324127550358322062012-04-19T09:20:19.276-04:002012-04-19T09:20:19.276-04:00Why on earth don't they allow you to choose su...Why on earth don't they allow you to choose subs or not.

Why do you use bonemeal? I am confused with the bonemeal and bloodmeal stuff. Haven't ever used either.

I hope that little critter does well and lives its life wild and free! I gave in and watered my entire garden yesterday. It was so dry that is was scary. The plants that have started growing looked like they were begging for some moisture. Let's hope for some rain. According to the weather forecast, we should be getting some tomorrow. Fingers crossed!<br /><br />And I'd be really upset about the order. You are right about them having had enough time to inform you that they didn't have the specific plant you wanted and to give you a chance to select what YOU want as a replacement. And if you'd want a replacement at all. Did you notify (complain to) them? Not a good way to start with a new customer.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.com
