How's That For A Geum:-)


How's That For A Geum:-)

I will have to look up its name, but I know who I bought it from and he's a GOY member.

Pretty sure it's g. East of Eden. Reddirtrog (Goy name) is the breeder. His new geum Roger's Rebellion was mentioned by Carol Klein on GW last week, I think it won an award at Malvern Show and it's a beauty:-)

Lovely Geum,Ba..I guess you will have your eye on the new one now..I haven't watched GW for ages,so I didn't see it..

Thanks Michaella:-) Yes Sandra I will be having Roger's Rebellion when after 19th May when I come back:-) You can have one Barbara:-) Daylily, what's your excuse lol:-)

I was sure you would,Ba..Are you going somewhere nice?

It's a beauty, just bought myself a new Geum last week. It's difficult not to want everyone the GC has for sale but one has to be practical!

I did nearly buy one (or two) last year but couldn't decide, will try again at GWLive :))

The only Nursery that has them doesn't do mail order. :-((

Barbara, I've bought mail order from East of Eden nursery, all arrived healthy and well packed:-)
Jane, Roger Proud (East of Eden nursery) is exhibiting at Gardeners World Live, so if you want a beautiful geum .....:-)
Scottish ...you know you want it:-)))
Sandra, I'm off to gay Paris on Friday ... well, a hotel on an industrial estate on the outskirts of Paris. Got to be up before 4am, coach leaves at 5.30. Visiting Monet's garden, Fontainbleu, Montmatre and a river trip. Then home on the Monday. I think it will pass in a blur. See you all soon and will do a blog:-)x

I will be looking out for them then, have a wonderful time :))

I had forgotten about your Paris trip,Ba..have a wonderful time,,and hope this weather is the same for you there..Some lovely places to visit too..will look forward to your blog and photo's..xx

I'll have to try to find their mail-order page, then.

Have a great time - don't talk to strange men, and try not to fall in the Seine! LOL.

15 May, 2014

 

Flippin' cheek ... of course I'll only speak to normal handsome men and I'd better not fall in the Seine ...I can't swim. Thanks for all your good wishes and I promise not to eat or drink too much;-)x

15 May, 2014

 

Betcha break that promise! LOL. See you when you get back. xx

Wow Ba, this is a super duper one!! Beautiful shades and feathery petals....top notch! My new one, Blazing Sunset, is in your face vivid crimson red.....the other extreme to your pale showstopper...:)). Enjoy Paris!!

16 May, 2014

 

Hi Janey, thanks. I have your one somewhere too, but I do prefer the softer shades. I had a fantastic time in Paris, my friend Catherine and I hardly stopped laughing, can't remember why now lol. Only problem was the coach. I shall do a blog or two when I've recovered:-) Barbara, I was disappointed in the food, not the men though:-)))

20 May, 2014

 

Hmmm....I thought I told you not to talk to strange men? Tsk tsk - but welcome back. :-))

21 May, 2014

 

Thanks Barbara, they weren't strange, very chivalrous, and I didn't find a rude Parisian either, all charming:-)

22 May, 2014

 

You mean 'charmant', don't you? LOL.

23 May, 2014

 

Oui:-)

23 May, 2014

 

My goodness - perfect French! I'm well impressed. :-D)
