Great pictures, as usual, everyone!

Kassia, that picture of distant drums is really nice (from the previous thread). I love your creeping jenny, too, and the caterpillar is neat.

I have just started some coleus plants in my kitchen window. We will see. I was at a local nursery, and they had some great big pots of gorgeous coleus plants. I was admiring them, and the owner picked off some pieces for me from each one. I was thrilled!

Laurel, are those wild sunflowers (from previous thread) the ones they call sun chokes or Jerusalem artichokes? If so, the roots are edible. I hear they have a taste and consistency similar to water chestnuts. I, too, have never seen a maypop. Nice!

I love all your close-ups, Shelly, from this thread and previous. I need to get a better camera. I can't get that close with mine. The weeds are a glitch in the photoshop program. eh? LOL! I love your pic of the gazania, the maximillian sunflower, and the moth.

Louise, I love the sedum. I would like to have that one. Mine have been getting eaten by deer this year, along with many other things, not least the DL's and Hostas. Do you have dial-up Internet? It would load very slowly with dial-up. I have Comcast high-speed, and it loads really fast. I was so happy when I got rid of AOL, but then with Comcast I have been having a lot of trouble with it getting disconnected continually, usually. I guess you just can't win. I usually go to FL in Jan., but this year I might seriously think about going for a couple of weeks to AZ and visit some friends there in Mesa. I miss AZ and haven't been back since 2003.

Nice shots, Victor, as always. I love the pitcher plant and canna. I'm not a canna fan, but that is a very nice looking flower there. I love pitcher plants. That is on my list for someday. I also love that Peachy Cream rose. I think I want one of those now, too. How is the disease resistance on it? Do you get much black spot or other problems?

Schickenlady, I love the Niko Blue hydrangea. Very nice blue color.

ROBINDOG, I love the variegated sedum. Very nice!


Boojum, I bought that rudbeckia this year, but mine's not looking so hot. Love all your aster pics. Great sunflower pic, too.

Kathleen, your garden nymph is really cool. I also love your autumn crocus. I have a few, also.

Okay, now time to post a few pics, now that I finally finished reading all the posts. I think I have not visited this thread since Friday or so. These following pics were taken this past Sunday.
