• 8:43 AM pat on Daisies - for spring, summer and fall

  I'm so glad you thought of the song; because when I blogged this piece I thought of the song too... somehow I felt I was growing up with that old-fashioned song that we rarely hear it these days. Thank you very much. I'm not sure if you had seen the one on "Songs about flowers trigger memories .. http://gardenblog.projo.com/2008/04/songs-about-flo.html back in April 2008. So - add this one to the list!

  Daisy daisy, give me your answer do, I'm half crazy all for the love of you...It won't be a stylish moment, I can't afford a carriage, but you look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two. Now, what made me think of that. DAISIES of course.

  That was a nice find when you discovered it on the highway. I wonder if it is a plant that can be purchased locally in a nursery. I know it would make a nice adornment to my yard

  They are a beautiful flower. Amazing how they endured the November temperatures outside, but now they will provide a really nice addition to your inside display

  Daisies are such happy flowers. Always make me think 'sunshine & new beginnings'. Think of spring, even though I now know some bloom in fall. Loved yesterday's blog.

  Please keep on trying - don't give up (I recently had problems uploading pictures on the garden slide show for several weeks and it turned out to be the problems with the browser I used - not PROJO's problems).

  I tried three times to submit a comment. I GIVE UP...this site doesn't cooperate. Anyway, I can answer you in an email better than using PRO JO...

• 1:39 PM pat on My towering celosia

  Yes - the comment came through. Right - salvia belongs in the Lamiaceae (mint) family with many, many species in the genus. I never had much luck with the red salvia, but have better luck with the blue and purple onee and there were some left in my front garden as of last week.

  Was reviewing the material on Celosia. Truly a beautiful plant. It reminds me somewhat of Salvia, which I have good luck with although it does not grow nearly as tall and I suspect belongs in a different family. I hope this comment reaches you. Here I go ! ! !

• 9:21 AM pat on Jupiter's beard, Centranthus ruber

  Jupiter's beard has yet to gain a popularity. I don't see them around here either. I suppose if more people want to have them and ask their local nurseries to carry them, we might start a trend. Mine is still producing beautiful blooms in November!

  Enjoyed your pictures so much. I live in Florida and have a hard time finding calendula plants and so far have not been able to buy them on the internet. We plant them here in Oct. Nov. and they bloom on and off until early May.Anyone know where they can be purchased on the internet? Thanks RM

• 5:51 PM pat on In search of more indoor color

  Hi - Laura, I don't know which area or state you're in. If you're in the Northeast and my zone (6), I would guess that you have them in a pot. In southern California, where I'm visiting right now .. the Calla lilies are grown outdoor all year round I hope the info from this site will help .. http://www.callalilyguide.com/calla_lily_care.html

  The cactus you are speaking of is indeed a globe, they almost all are globular. it looks to me like a notocactus magnifica.
