I think you are ...Andrea .. you CRAZY girl ! hahaha<br />I think you are way over tired and need a good holiday to decompress from plant-MANIA ? hehehe<br />Yes .. I had a feeling there are nurseries out there that are as near to perfection as possible .. I would love to see yours some day kid ;-)<br />Funny .. once you are bitten by the plant bug, and even though you work in that atmosphere all the time .. it never lets up does it ?<br />Yes .. I can just imagine if we went plant shopping together what would happen .. we would both have to buy new homes with huge yards to accomidate ALL of our garden kids just on the first trip .. god knows what we are supposed to do with all the plants from the second, third ... and so on trips .. maybe open our own garden nursery but we wouldn't be able to sell our garden kids .. catch 22??<br />Now go to be and get some SLEEP !!LOLCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-57993420876201747792009-07-24T23:31:28.458-04:002009-07-24T23:31:28.458-04:00OMG I have that TOO. That feeling only I have it e...OMG I have that TOO. That feeling only I have it everyday when I work!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Yes... I'm alive. It took me awhile to resurrect myself but damn if i'm not busy keeping the plants looking good. See Joy, you should come to our garden centre where everything ALWAYS looks good 100% of the time (thats why people come to us! because no matter what time of the year, our plants look amazing!). <br /><br />Anyways, I LOVE what you bought. I LOVE IT> IM JEALOUS SEND ME ONE *CRIES*. <br /><br />Seriously, I'm not drunk but since i've got a garden, now I'm all like I MUST HAVE THIS NOW OR I"LL NEVER GET IT syndrome. It's an awful thing to have. Awful, just awful. <br /><br />you should sympathize with me. Seriously? we need to get together because I have a feeling we would talk plants endlessly and we need to go shopping for plants hah!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224144224646856274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-76273498828900970362009-07-24T16:57:46.811-04:002009-07-24T16:57:46.811-04:00Carrie .. you need to be "let loose" in ...Carrie .. you need to be "let loose" in a real nursery ? LOL .. I bet you would take days having a good look around. When we lived in Holland I couldn't get over the diversity to what they had in garden centers there just as you said , candles to cafes .. but with plants .. it was amazing.<br />I just planted this one today and I already think next Spring I'll probably move it again to a better situation .. I really do wish plants would come with training wheels ? till I get it right ?

Plus most of them focus more on candles and cafes than plants!

You are going to have to see this place...Martha ... You are going to have to see this place at our end of the city .. it has unusual plants and for some reason I hadn't been there much this season but I am so glad I caught up with it now for this little wonder !<br /><br />Tina .. I bet the green leaf variety I saw too was your honeysuckle standard there .. but next to this colour I wouldn't think it was the same one either .. it is a beauty eh ? ;-)<br /><br />Jen , you think the way I do girl ! It will be a beautiful hit of colour almost any time won't it ? but Autumn is going to be brilliant : )<br /><br />Rose .. I was bewitched ? LOL by the colour straight away .. I had no idea about the plant in general but to have this variation in colour was a huge bonus ! : )<br /><br />Hello there Steve ! .. This one is supposed to have yellow flowers and does note that Hummingbirds love it .. so I am more than happy to provide them this treat ? LOL<br />This is one of those plants that stand out in "plant hinting" for the season ? and I didn't even "hunt" for it ; )<br /><br />Hey there Linda .. Do you go to "Simple Country Pleasures" nursery in Napannee ? .. I'm not sure if it is still running this late in the season but it usually had a great selection of different plants there .. I'm so glad I dropped by this place and found a surprise !

I'm wondering what...Hello there Kathleen girl !<br />I'm wondering what on earth is making your Maypop so darn stubborn ? .. don't toss it girl .. and even if it doesn't do anything more than stay alive .. make sure you do plant it is the garden and mulch it well, because it may just surprise the 'heck" out of you and take off next year !<br />I may have all this growth now and then nothing next year .. we really can't tell until we go through the winter cycle Kathleen .. so don't give up hope girl ! I just have it in the sun for most of the day (it is in a raised bed by the deck) .. winter will let us know if it can survive our zone in the end .. hang in girl !<br /><br />Hey Debbie : ) .. if I could get away with it I would .. maybe ask around your fellow master gardeners and see if they know of it in your area ? .. let me know what you hear ?<br /><br />Janet it does hve gorgeous foliage doesn't it ? .. looks ready for Autumn colouring right now in fact !<br /><br />Hi Sheila .. it struck me light a lighting bolt girl ! haha<br /><br />Cindee girl .. my goodness what a rotten bug to have .. are you taking vit C and echinacea supplements to fight it ? lots of soothing herbal teas can help flush it out too ! Hope you feel better soon !<br /><br />Gail ... girl I figured that you would have one of these over there : ) I feel in love with it straight away ! .. and you just had to rub it in about being able to plant right through the seasons .. you are NAUGHTY !!!!! LOL .. now stop that !!! <br /><br />Hi VW .. it will stay to what ever size you want it to be by a little pruning (I have a thing for pruning) .. but in general I think it is on the small to medium size scale .. perfect for my garden : )<br /><br />Thanks Cameron .. I just can't get over not seeing it before .. I hadn't stopped at this place often and now I'm wondering what else have I missed ?? LOL<br /><br />Tina girl .. I thought if anyone has seen this you would have .. now that is interesting ! It is a little beauty isn't it ? : )<br /><br />Sunita ! ... that is so true about the butterfly flock taking over girl ! haha .. there may be closely related plants in your area .. the plants next to it are heuchera, quite different looking aren't they ; )<br /><br />Hello Garden Lily .. I'm still waiting for mine to open in fact !<br />That colour hit me straight away, so there was nochance of me leaving without it ! : )<br /><br />Hello there gittan .. YES ! that common bond of plant lust ? haha .. when we see one we like we have to tell each other don't we ?

I hope it likes it in your garden but then again, I'm sure it will. You with the green thumb (ie the Maypop) My vine is still sitting. I'm almost ready to toss it. (not really). But I've definitely not figured out its optimum planting conditions, that's for sure. If only I can get it going before fall, I think I'll be safe....
