Garden Photos of '09...#27

I have lollipops as well... mine spread a little.. but not going crazy... you must have better ground than I do

:)

I have clay and plant everything with potting soil and compost mix.
Plants really take off with it.

I lost a few more daylilies from this winter and now the rainy spring. 'Larry Grace' and 'Chris Salter' are gonners. So is
'Rainbow Over Georgia' and a few others!! I'm a bit upset....never even got to see 'R.O.G' bloom!!!

I took these a few days ago

one sad little bud on the disney land rose I bought last year... just needs a vase under it

delph I grew from seed last year

robin hood rose

blue light

scabs

Love the delph, lupines and Alliums together...nice blue bed!!!!
Oh and that clems is gorgeous!!

these just don't grow that well for me... they haven't spread since I planted them 3 or 4 years ago

thanks.. that was ACTUALLY a sort of planned spot... (as planned as I will ever get)... only putting blue, white, purple and pink over there

sea breeze

molly is still going strong

little cutie

a few of these still going as well

some of the kong seedlings just planted (along with the columbine Weese gave me)

oops wrong photo with the caption.. this one should have went with last comment

I planted a bunch of the geranium seedlings along the driveway... no perennial grows here.. so I figured these would do just fine

going to be hard to see.. but a cosmos Amy gave me last year at Kassia's RU.. they popped up everywhere

deb like that artic kiwi - you had me jealous last year as the one i have has never colored - it is finally showing a little color this year hoping the sun will help if it shows again

Tex like that echi

allison nice to see you planting (in the ground) all those ones you started inside!

Great stuff, Allison.

Celeste, I'm sorry to hear about your daylilies that got touched by winter's chilly hand.

Karen, I think you are right about Karmina. I looked it up in the PlantFiles and the photos seem very similar. Thanks for the ID

Looking good Tex, glad to see someone else from Jersey.

Looks great, Allison, you have a lot more going on than I do.

Nice yellow rose, Tex----Debi, Cherry Parfait looks good enough to eat---and your Boxer boy has gotten so big! Jo Ann--love the orange & purple photos together---Patti---the color on that pink peony is outstanding---Candyce, your garden is getting so together! Jumper, pretty NOID rose---red really stands out...here is a Canadian Explorer rose---not sure which one....

And a NOID penstemon....

Holy cow!!! Trying to catch up. Spent most of yesterday in the bathroom. I tried not to be near mom at all, since she certainly doesn't need this bug. UGH!!!
Don't know where to start, but love everyone's pics.
Hi, Tex68. Nice to see you here. I went to high school in Red Bank, not too far from you.

WOW I think I'm going to have to set an alarm to get up early to keep up!!! Patti the callas are in containers that I (well actually DH) move out of the cold room into the greenhouse in late March/early April. I divide and replant the containers then. I only have the white but I want MORE. Debilu that is a gorgeous rose you got for mom's day but I too like the dog day afternoon the best ^_^

Robindog! Hope the lilies havnt gone by when you come in August.
There are so many changes,I hope you'll be pleased.
I'm off tothe deck now.
I just love ot there.

This rose we planted and then lost, but it found its way to what little sunlight there is in the bed. America.

Luvly lighting Carrie.

Thank you - DD #1 took it. The sun (it exists! not just an ancient legend!) provided the lighting. I think I want to move it to a sunnier spot.

I don't like the color of these dwarf monardas much, but they fill in their spot nicely and they had a hummingbird visitor today!

There were a lot of dragonflies enjoying the sunshine too! This is the stem of a blush rose campion Michaela gave me - just starting to bloom for the first time!

These are two TOTALLY different colored geraniums, one is blue (maybe Rozanne?) and the other is magenta (bloody cranesbill). You can barely see the contrast in this picture, but in the sun it was quite striking!

Hey Tex in Long Branch, we're practically neighbors. Pretty shots of your gardens, and ahead of mine :)
Here's a few lately

A Japanese Iris

A little Hosta Haven

Petunias in a pot!

Carrie, very pretty geraniums. I don't know why they don't want to perform for me.
A double Mandevilla. Got it by accident...very lucky accident

Clem Venosa. I have never seen a bad pic of this beauty.
