So, no bouguet tree.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-26692287451521897492014-03-06T09:49:52.079-08:002014-03-06T09:49:52.079-08:00Barbara, thank you!
I've been to the Hulda ...Barbara, thank you! <br /><br />I've been to the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens a few times. Some of our lilacs came from there. We must have a dozen or more varieties. Some were bought as blooming size shrubs, some as bare root, some as tissue culture starts only a couple inches big. Most are blooming size now. <br /><br />I wanted to add some to the Battleground place. The ones that made suckers supplied some starts. Meanwhile, there are the ones that have not made any suckers, which is why I decided to try grafting them.<br /><br />I'll update as they grow. I'm not so good about updating failures.<br /><br />If these succeed, I have lots of others to try!<br /><br />There is a saying, "Give a man a hammer, and he starts looking for nails". I'm sort of that way about gardening techniques. Now that I know how to graft, I continue searching for new things to graft. I'm the same way about other propagation techniques. Plants are amazing, at what they can do.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-90968639392221060792014-03-03T09:56:34.539-08:002014-03-03T09:56:34.539-08:00Good morning!

Hubby and i purchased a few baby bushes from there, and all are doing fairly well. Let me know if you want a sucker!<br /><br />Meanwhile, i hope all is well in your world.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Barbara<br /><br />PS: Our bees should arrive soon! Hubby and i had better get those hives set up so we have a place to put them! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
