Smart Red, my cat does look a lot like the witches' cat in the movie HOCUS POCUS. HAHA

I put some fertilizer on it yesterday, to try to encourage new growth. I should not have done so, considering it was stressed, but I thought it might perk it up. But it didn't.

Thanks for your suggestions, aftermidnight. The dahlia is only about 5" tall with just a few leaves, in a big pot. It had a second set of 5" tall leaves that became severed from the tuber, and the chickens detached a tuber.

While the leaves were surviving, before I knocked them over with the sprinkler yesterday, they seemed pretty tightly closed. They didn't open fully like the dahlia leaves in the picture above. It was as if they were conserving energy or something? They weren't limp, exactly, just not open. I...

I blamed the cats, initially, for the digging, which I did not see. But my neighbor said he saw the chickens doing it. He said they looked so blissfully happy, digging in the dirt, that he didn't want to stop them...

About a week or so ago, chickens jumped in my flower pot and badly dug all around a dahlia. One tuber was severed from the plant. For a time the two-sided green growth of this plant, which was minimal anyway, before the chicken episode, looked like it was surviving, but one side got limper and...

I think it has to be "Forever Susan." I messaged my girlfriend, Susan, and she was psyched at the name, too!

Do you like my picture of my black tomcat, "Africlaw," taking time to smell my peonies? This picture is in the Caption Contest. I'd love it if you'd go there and write a caption for it and vote for the captions already there. What is the name of the peony he is smelling? Is it A Karl...

Ninnymary, here's another link with pics of "Forever Susan" lily. Do you think these pics look like my lilies...

Really, ducks4you?

Thank you, Larisa! I love it!

It sure DOES look like it, Larisa! Good job! http://garden.org/pics/2013-06-07/Calif_Sue/bb4abc.jpg

Ooh, really, Larisa? Thanks for the info. I'll Google!

I made a mistake posting this earlier, so I'll try again. It is fine to use it as Picture of the Week. I am trying to determine the name of this beautiful lily that is colored like a nectarine (yellow, orange, and deep red). I got it free last year at Wal-Mart when they were giving away...

They are still looking good in their pots. The foliage is beautiful!

Super, Mary. I feel the same way and am getting gorgeous blooms and fragrance, so I'm happy.

Last year I got lots of free bulbs at Wal-Mart and planted them, and they are blooming this spring. I can't find the bags they came in with their names on them? Does anyone recognize this beautiful Asiatic lily which is the color of nectarines (yellow, deep red and orange) in the picture...

Wonderful, Smart Red! Mine are blooming their heads off, planted in with daises-- such a beautiful combo!

Real Tomcats Love Hot Pink Flowers!

Let's compare pictures of them, when yours start to bloom, Smart Red? Will be fun to see whose newly blooming pinks are bluer (same variety). Fun!
