Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I know there are lots of gardeners in here so I thought I'd ask how many of you bring the flowers indoors? This is one of my absolute favorite things to do. If one type of flower dies before I get to clip it and bring it in, I feel like it had a wasted season. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

The only one he takes in is the hibiscus tree. It's the second one he's had. It loves being outside, but blooms inside during the winter too. He keeps it inside until the summer. Then he puts is out on the deck for the summer. It's doing well. Right now it has pretty pale orange flowers.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I have a lot of indoor plants, and a few outdoor. This was to be the year I worked more on outside projects, but honestly? It's just too blaming hot. Maybe next Spring...or this Fall. JJ _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	Black Thumb! Yup, that's me. I think it's because I forget to water the poor things. My hubby is the gardener in the family, but he's out of town now and I feel great pressure to keep his babies alive until he gets back. We have a new lawn (with plugs that are growing together - I hope!) and flower pots, and... oh gosh, I know I'll forget to water something! Kathy

starting over Member Registered: 06/30/05 Posts: 383 Loc: Illinois	Dotsie, I love cut flowers. I always try to bring in a bit of flowers from each season. My fav. is peonies, the entire room fills with fragrance. I love to keep a bud vase at the kitchen sink, I thoroughly enjoy fresh flowers while I work in the kitchen. Currently my bud vase at the sink has Rose of Sharon in pink and purple blooms with a Coleous leaf and asparagus fern.... If I had enough garden space/time/energy and could work from home I probably would keep fresh flowers in every room..... _________________________ starting over How we handle change determines our Destiny.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Starting over, I have Rose of Sharon in those same colors. We have a tall hedge of that across the back of our yard. One of my son's birthdays is August first. I always recall having a big vase of Rose of Sharon in the house for his birthday parties. I think I'll bring some in and put them by the sink and think of you and all my other BWS friends. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I received a breathtaking bouquet of tall salmon colored flowers with darked orange trim in a beautiful stained glass vase several days ago from a BWS sister in Germany. They are still looking fresh and remind me of jonquils. Thanks you so much, you know who you are!!! _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Sadie Member Registered: 10/08/04 Posts: 1274 Loc: MD	I love Marigolds and Rose bushes that were doing so good until the heat got so bad here . Lilys , I have Lilac bushes around my patio in the spring and they smell so good. I saw a lot of Rose a Sharon in the South in Ala , but they haven't done well in my garden area for some reason. _________________________ Courage is very important Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use .
