I don't think clipping the lilies makes them last longer...just keeps the pollen from spoiling those perfect, pale petals (<I>or your shirt!</I>). I always think they look a little naked, kinda, once you've trimmed them, tho.<BR/><BR/>Jenn, I did have to get out the pithe helmet as I tackled the jungle-like tangle of the morning glory...reminded me of your recent experiences in your PA rainforest!<BR/><BR/>Java, the morning glories were somewhat cooperative about my flag liberation efforts and not cutting was required...I'll need to keep an eye on them, but I'll have many more glories to show you as summer progresses!<BR/><BR/>Alan, <I>sssshhh</I>. I'm a little surprised that we haven't had to deal with the lily leaf beetle here--they were such a problem at the last place. Don't miss them, though.<BR/><BR/>Lost, some of the best morning glories are the neighbors!! Someday, they'll make a yellow one, and in the meantime, there's always the canary flower vine! ; )<BR/><BR/>Curt, there are some purple bachelor's buttons I've shown already. I think I'm still waiting on seeing maroon and white, if the seed package is correctly recalled.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337889899066280559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-31160759222907830592008-07-30T23:18:00.000-04:002008-07-30T23:18:00.000-04:00I thought there was nothing as perfect as the blue...I thought there was nothing as perfect as the blue buttons but that pink is so striking I can't help but love it with all my heart, at least until you unveil a butter-colored one, or purple, or.....Curt Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092702507137136310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-88155728805256933842008-07-30T22:51:00.000-04:002008-07-30T22:51:00.000-04:00My neighbors have morning glories that come visiti...My neighbors have morning glories that come visiting over the fence about this time of year.

Thank you. I am struck once again by the bold blue of this bachelor's button. The pink one is much more delicate-looking. And more morning glories! I like those.

I planted some years ago, and yet I still have a few that spring up to beat up my other plants.

Is there any credence to a lily's longevity if the anthers are removed? Or is it for cleanliness's sake? That pollen can be hard to get off clothes if the anther falls off.<BR/><BR/>Everything is filling in nicely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-33050806020155282132008-07-30T12:20:00.000-04:002008-07-30T12:20:00.000-04:00Ha ha ha ha!!
