Happiness is… being at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden when the Dahlia Garden is in full bloom. Had a great trip (though not without drama) and gorgeous, sunny, mild weather. I’d love to spend a whole summer in Mendo sometime. Note to self: Win...

Is it just me, or has the GardenWeb site been down for over a week? I can get to the main page, but none of the forums. I e-mailed them (haven’t heard back), and was curious if anyone else has been able to get on...

This pic shows three different colors of salpiglossis, which I have growing in a pot. It’s another one of my favorites. Germination rate in the greenhouse wasn’t great, but I’m happy with even just these few plants. It definitely seems to do better...

Cerinthe major purpurescens is blooming right now in the garden. I really love this plant. First spied and bought it in a 4″ pot at Annie’s Annuals, but now grow it from seed. Seems to tolerate full sun to dappled shade.Posted by...
