Did you trailer your own horse or ride one of Dacodah's horses (Gracie)? <br />Oh..and I hate to tell you this...camping in a rental RV is not roughing it. I thought when you said camping, you'd be in a tent. lol!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-35023877100774605332012-04-03T11:25:03.811-06:002012-04-03T11:25:03.811-06:00Those horses are so incredibly lucky!

I don't think the book would be fitting for me since i'm on the east coast, but I will say...that...oh my god - I can't pick one...I guess I'll just vote for moonbeam coreopsis. I know that's boring, but it's just so fresh, reliable, all-season, cornerstone of the garden. goes well with everything, never fussy, and in my garden I dont tend to have "little flowers", so it's nice. Yup. Just a fabulous overall plant.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-77240635345631664832012-04-02T00:35:31.431-06:002012-04-02T00:35:31.431-06:00I'm probably too late to the party but I guilt...I'm probably too late to the party but I guiltily love Delphiniums (delphinium grandiflorum).

When I moved to my new home I was amazed by these tall beautiful flowers I saw growing in almost every yard. My new husband laughed that I was so amazed. I now grow plenty of them in my own yard. They are what I look forward to every summer. It's so fun to see the greenery start after the snow melts and within a couple of months they are taller than me and bursting with flowers.JoshSarah Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644946612662256967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-85784980167974721092012-03-28T17:48:39.050-06:002012-03-28T17:48:39.050-06:00Being a rather new gardener and having difficulty ...Being a rather new gardener and having difficulty being in my little microclimate I have enjoyed reading your encouraging words of gardening at high altitude.

And, a bonus for me (living at 8400 feet in Nederland, Colorado) is that it is one plant that reaches some height in my flower garden in such a short growing season!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-40832772167451729992012-03-27T03:13:48.942-06:002012-03-27T03:13:48.942-06:00Have a wonderful time on your trip.

I love all peonies for their beautiful foliage and beautiful fragrant flowere, if not for their ants. But I particularly love my Paeonia x 'Bartzella'. <br /><br />I fell in lust with yellow peonies, and had to have this one, but for the price. Then I decided to go for it since my coworkers had given me a retirement gift of cash to be spent on the garden plant of my choice. The choice was Bartzella, which is thriving in my garden and giving me more flowers each year.Yaelhttp://www.homegardendiggers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-90516066572333778162012-03-26T11:43:01.999-06:002012-03-26T11:43:01.999-06:00the flower i cannot live without is the icelandic ...the flower i cannot live without is the icelandic poppy (papaver nudicaule). i love the way they bob in the wind and help me remember to look for the whimsy in life (i have a terrible propensity for seriousness in all things). <br />i hope our garden at our new house suits them better than our last house. one would think an icelandic poppy wouldn't mind our wyoming climate!loverstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423746509372224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-66036517670862115742012-03-26T10:37:11.111-06:002012-03-26T10:37:11.111-06:00Tulips.

I'll be riding at home over the next 4 weekends before we go to any more ACTHA events.<br /><br /><br />the flower that I cant do without is the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) AKA the sun choke. I like it because it looks like you have a big batch of sunflowers, It's perennial, and at the end of the year, you can dig up some of the roots (tubers) and have dinner.Anna Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17189234825992570600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-32818089988337698322012-03-23T18:45:17.361-06:002012-03-23T18:45:17.361-06:00My favorite garden flower has to be English Lavend...My favorite garden flower has to be English Lavender- Lavandula angustifolia. I Live in the Sierra-Nevada mountains. We have short hot summers and long cold winters. I have lavender plants that have weathered our most extreme cold spells and a thirteen year drought. Never failing to provide the wonderful blooms and fragrance that I love. My honeybees are arriving tomorrow. They'll enjoy all that lavender too.Farmgirl Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550237327556460565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-39074884385116410572012-03-23T15:57:06.300-06:002012-03-23T15:57:06.300-06:00No doubt whatsoever, DAFFODILS!!

As you may well know, Texas had a record breaking drought last year. I planted a Poliomintha Longiflora in May and the little plant was covered in blooms right through the summer into fall while everything else was turning brown. Unfortunately it's not very cold tolerant (zone 8) so it'll be potted up when we (and it) moves to Colorado.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990275383645501272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-11857482581758450502012-03-23T10:05:54.821-06:002012-03-23T10:05:54.821-06:00Have a fantastic time on your rise Kate!Have a fantastic time on your rise Kate!Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.com
