Staying Out Of The Front Yard

Post by kHT »

These opened up this past weekend and to even walk past them set off the allergies beyond belief. I have never had problems with these before?? I can't even get near them to play. :???:

Are they fragrant? If so, is it the fragrance that's triggering an allergy? If it's the pollen, maybe you can have someone remove the anthers. At least maybe that way you can "play" in the area.

They are really fragrant to the point I have to hold my nose. I did tickle them!! :wink: You can even smell them inside when the front door is open.

:D :D :D when all is were in bloom on his deck last year, he had to get some prescription strength Zyrtec to even be able to go out on the deck. You might want to ask your
Doctor about that. Sure worked for OC......

My dh is allergic to Zyrtec too. He used Allegra D(sp?) with pretty good success.
