| Still playing gopher games in the garden. But today, something actually happened to my benefit, I think.
I have this little, no fragrance, no identity, own-root yellow floribunda. It was looking a little dismal, and alas, the gophers got to it. As I, swearing and muttering under my breath, dug what remained of it out of the ground, it came out in 2 pieces. Both with the standard tap root structure chewed off, but the little buggers hadn't gotten to the feeder roots yet, so both with good, sound feeder roots. SO - I now have TWO yellow floribundas - caged both, one back where it was, and another it a completely different spot. Plus I left a gopher-dyna-gas-bomb in a hole I found during digging as my "thanks". My unnamed Floribunda:

| Very pretty! Could be Sunsprite? You're gophers it the roots off. My rabbits eat the tops off. UGH! |

| Not Sunsprite if it's not scented; Sunsprite is a Gamble Fragrance winner. I'd have guessed either Sunflare (seems too orangish, though) or maybe one of the newer ones...like Julia Child. |

| Our Julia Child has....buttery yellow blooms. |

| I've tried and tried to ID this guy, and have finally given up. Haven't found anything like it, anywhere. The blooms are about 1 1/2" in diameter. They start out this nice bright yellow. In about 1-2 weeks they fade to a very light, whitish yellow with pinkish - edges (?). They stay on the plant forEVER. When I finally get tired of looking at the old blooms and want new blooms, I nip them off. I'm really wondering if it wasn't a mini that kept growing... |
