I think your garden club organized well your trip, visiting nurseries and having lunch there.<br />Glad you had nice time!Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-25421299494828487392016-06-29T21:43:44.775-04:002016-06-29T21:43:44.775-04:00I have the same milkweed, sedum, and anemone.

I have a big one just a few miles away. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-17940292210079412692016-06-29T08:06:21.329-04:002016-06-29T08:06:21.329-04:00Hi Rick,

The other Asclepisa (like tuberosa and the weedy syriaca) like it quite dry. It has not rained for 3 weeks and the numerous syriaca that grow on very poor soil around the house are doing perfectly fine.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-12691205853373539132016-06-29T07:55:17.831-04:002016-06-29T07:55:17.831-04:00It was Jason.

What a contrast, after all we are not that far away. We have not had any rain for almost 3 weeks. There was some all around us yesterday but none here.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-53171808001767431112016-06-28T15:27:03.254-04:002016-06-28T15:27:03.254-04:00Looks like a very fun outing!Looks like a very fun outing!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671760671850555664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-8717818858219175212016-06-28T09:39:26.536-04:002016-06-28T09:39:26.536-04:00Alain ..

I would love to see it in person. My Asclepia are budding out nicely and I do so hope to see some butterflies in the garden tucking babies into them. It is sweltering here in Kingston at the moment .. 27 degrees happened at 8:30 AM .. thunder storms predicted for later bringing cooler weather we all HOPE !<br />I like your choices VERY much .. Jade Frost is eye candy : )<br />Joy<br />PS .. that was so sweet of them to give you ice cream (now I REALLY wish I had been there !

The one thing I have noticed is that they emerge very late in the year, so late in fact that I thought they were dead! I know they like damp soil so should suit me, have you any other tips on their cultivation? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
