I don’t know if every Lowes has it but the one on Santa Fe Dr. by old town Littleton does.

The tag is “Aurora Blue” delphinium, blue flowers with white bee as shown in second photo. According to Jackson Perkins they are cold hardy to Zone 3 and bred for strong stems (although mine will still be staked).

The photos of it on Antique Rose Emporium are not that inspiring to be honest, and help me find has surprising few pictures of this on an arbor or trellis, and I'd love to see one. Too many very similar names though because of "The Fairy" and "The Super Fairy" that my google search is getting confused. I've also heard this rose gets no Japanese beetles compared to others which is a huge selling point for me.

Who else has a window cracked open and are working to the sound of light jazz background music, the smell and feel of rain outside? Even my skin feels happy.

Missed out for years at Adelmans and finally picked some up today. My mom has some from Parkland peonies and they do so well in Canada, but they are so hard to find here in the US. It’s not the cheapest peony, but they’re kinda hard to find stock wise, so I just thought I would share

I had already cut plenty of blooms and brought them in advance of the weather and the consecutive wind and snow felled so many stems with mature buds that I didn’t feel like cutting more off. I had some extra bud/grafting tape, the waxy breathable and biodegradable type and orchid stem supports from my house plants. I taped and supported, and they continued to bloom!

Here's the page: https://www.9news.com/article/weather/forecast/denver-front-range-colorado-weather-forecast/73-62561776-a0cd-44b1-a9c7-18072b56759d

If you look at the top half of this page, it's predicting low 20s. If you look at the bottom half, it's predicting 30s-40s, including in the hourly forecast.

I've not seen other predictions in the low to mid-20s elsewhere.

A lot of the recipes in this book catch my eye and it’s rare for me to experience that. I like a bit of exotic and elevated and strong flavors but nothing outright obscure. I don’t like to buy books from like TV celebrity chefs though, because my experience has been that their recipes photograph better than they taste. I am wondering if anyone has tried this book and whether these recipes turned out

I'm just curious, mine has never rebloomed regardless of fertilization, deadheading, etc. it is growing in full sun and otherwise happy and always puts on a display in spring, but if I had known it would be once bloomer for my garden I would have picked a different one like Dream Cloud.
