| Once again, I tried to avoid posting pictures of perennials/misc that I have posted in previous years in the Gallery. So, be sure to go back to last year’s P’s for more P pictures from my garden. Speaking of keeping track of the perennials in a person's yard and how many a person has...I think I have mentioned this before in previous threads... I have a database in my computer where I keep a running list of all the perennials/plants/trees/shrubs/bulbs in my yard....now up to just over 2300. I have a column for the name of the plant, one column for its location in my yard, one for its height and width and one for a description of the plant. Lastly, the most important column is the one where I input the year I got it, the price I paid and maybe its regular price, from where or whom I got it from, its hybridizer and year registered, the zone it can officially grow in (I grow a lot of zone 4 plants in my zone 2b garden), months it is to bloom in, and dates I took a picture of it. This database has proven to be invaluable to me. Often I refer back to it when wanting to know how many years I have had a certain plant, whom I received it from or where in the yard I planted it. On to the P's.... Here is a picture of the Pear Slug I found on my cherry tree on Sept 20th. I will definitely be on the lookout from now on for these little guys.
Puppies are always cute, no matter what breed. Here, these puppies’ mom is a border collie cross and the dad is ???.
Now for some plants..... Pastelline Daylily was new to me in 2007.
Pink Damask Daylily
Pink Playmate Daylily
Popeye Daylily
Prague Spring Daylily
Prairie Belle Daylily
Prairie Blossoms Daylily is a daylily that Laurie and I got in the spring of 2006. She has used hers in hybridizing in 2007. Mine didn’t bloom until last summer, 2008, and I had others I wanted to use for hybridizing instead. But, I love the two toned flowers on this daylily.
Pink Double Delight Echinacea I bought new last year. I am hoping that it will make it through our winter.
