Love Celandine Poppy. Also Missouri Primrose - Oenothera macrocarpa.

HI Auralie.  I thought I had it until you got to the yellow flowers! Let them sneer; if it makes you smile, it’s a very worthwhile plant.

Or could it be Celandine Poppy, Stylophorum diphyllum? It is deer resistant. I know people who sneer at that but I enjoy it.

Hi. I'm still here  but pretty tottery.  Since my broken hip at Christmas, I haven't been

able to get down the hill to my garden.  I can see that things are blooming, especially

the peonies, and masses of wild dame's rocket, but I can't really do much about it.  I

have hopes of a teenager who might be willing to help me plant.

 

I am so glad to hear from all of you.  I was so glad to hear that Gene Bush is getting

better.  He sent me a plant many years ago that the deer wouldn't like.  It has spread

and filled in the empty spaces in my front bed, and bloomed so nicely this spring, but

I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.  It is a perennial that grows about

two feet tall, has heart-shaped slightly fuzzy leaves, and small bright yellow flowers. 

Some of my garden-club members sneer at it, but I love it, and the deer don't.  I just

wish I could think of it's name - but that's old age I guess.

 

Speaking of old age, Chet is planning a big bash to celebrate his 90th birthday.  The

actual date was in March, but he says that if Queen Elizabeth can celebrate hers on

whatever date suits her, he can do the same, so he picked a time when all three of

our sons can get there.  He has reserved space at Teatown Nature Center where he

spent many happy years on the board, and sent out invitations to more than 80 people.

Not my idea, but he's having a great time planing it.

Judy and Theresa,

It seems just about everyone is still at it, digging away! Have I missed any great life events?

Hi! I received a message – the hacked type – from Jesse Bell this morning, so I guess I must still be in someone’s address book.

Here’s hoping you all have wonderful, lush gardens this season!
