slk24 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Heh Petee, I have Nun's caps, Forget me Nots and Lillies of the Valley in my flower garden, should I cut them back for the winter? I have already cut back my day lillies. The Nun's Caps have really spread this past summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Red twigged dogwood is actually a shrub not a tree. That is the first picture with the smaller flowers. Or at least I think it should be the first picture. The second one is a viburnum called snowball. It is not a hydrangea but Viburnum opulus. There are a number of different types but I think that this is the old plant that grows around here. I got some from an old farm but I'm not sure about berries. I went out to look but even the leaves are gone. Most viburnums have berries of some sort but they aren't usually white. The flowers on the one I have are only a little bigger than a golf ball.

Petee Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Did you say it comes out like a flowered snowball and then it turns to white berries? Did it have teeny thorns on the stems? What did the leaves look like and when did it bloom? Did it show a fall color or did the leaves just fall when the weather got chily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petee Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Nun's Cap? Is this a form of Orchid or something you've had for years? A picture? http://www.ncsu.edu/goingnative/howto/mapping/invexse/porcelai.html You can clean any old dead foliage out of the garden for the winter to help avoid diseases and pests but it's not always necessary. Sometimes you want to leave some interesting foliage for the snow to collect on to make interesting garden winterscapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You've got a really good memory to be able to distinguish between the two from memory! I've never seen racemosa but sericea has gone wild around here. I think they quite using recemosa as a hedge because it is hard to control. Pruning doesn't do it after many years as it just keeps spreading if it is happy. And it seems to be happy in a lot of places! If you can find one digging out a piece will get you a hedge eventually.
