Patti...Love the Roses and the 'before the storm'. I'll keep you posted on whatever happens with the spirea. I brought a few things home today to attempt to do the layering with, but who knows if I'll get to it anytime soon with all the projects going on the yard right now. someday! lol But, even getting things home to do it with is huge progress for me.
Jo Ann... Oh' so Lovely! Your garden is beginning to look as though you've been working on it much longer than you have!

Thanks Shelly
I am really loving those NOID'giant hosta.
I believe theyre Blessingham Blue altho they arent as blue as Blue Angel.They are about to bloom.
The Violas are budding also.May have a pix next week along with Japanese Iris and Siberians planted this spring.
joann did i see an earing hanging off a tree:)
looks great and jealous of the sun you have!
Sure thing Jo Ann. I'm glad that you're liking them. Although they shouldn't be the same hosta. I'll try to remember to take pictures of the plants that they came from when I get home. One of them, I know exactly which plant it came from. The other is which I can't remember if I took a fan off of or one of the seedlings from. If it was a fan, then it'll be identical. But, a seedling may not be identical to it's parent. So it should be interesting! The violas I have no doubt, will do fantastic.
The id isnt THAT important.
Bill arent your trees festuned with baubles?
Great pics, everyone!!!
Tex, the question is - did you stop at Delicious Orchards and get a pecan pie? If not and you like pecan pie, then make it a point to get one there. YUMMMMMYYYYY!!!!! Oh, BTW, love the fountain, too.
Looking good, Jo Ann!
THANK YOU ALLISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy with the gardens this second year! I just sit on the deck and watch everything grow.
You can practically hear things growing this year with the rain!
Ohhh yeah and the slugs are growing too.
Many yellow and pale green plants are chewed.
Oh yeah. This is bug and slime heaven.
i like that earing - although i couldn't put one up - does it go on the left or right branch?
It weighs 40 pounds and goes where it wants to. lol
Nice shot of your kitty, Meredith! She/he looks like he/she is having fun in your gardens.
Great find, Tex! I'm jealous!
Nice pics, Jo Anne and Patti! Jo Anne, I can't believe you have sun. No clearing of the clouds or rain in sight here.
Nice foxglove, Celeste. Is it Pam's Choice?
Karen
We suffered three days of gloom and a record 1 day rainfall Sat. of 1.22 inches. It just poured down all day and half the night.
We all deserve sun.
Dont make me haul out the winter blizzerd pix to make you feel glad its not January.
it is indeed Pam's Choice!
Oh, we certainly don't want January weather, though I do hope we get better weather in July.
I thought so, Celeste. I love that one. I grew some from seed this year.
Karen
Pixie, that is "Choice" no matter its name. How about this little digitalis gem. Garden crossing this year called 'Goldcrest' or 'Waldigone'. Patti
I should have a mess more out this week, if they all didn't get flattened today. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Some that have bloomed this year. Patti
Nice, Patti! I love the new little one. Great color!
Karen
Very nice, Patti.
Here is a JM seedling I've been nursing for a few years. It's in full sun and the color is fantastic.
Hagley and Abundance again.
Coleus.
Multi-colored mophead bloom.
Filipendula.
Can someone ID this? I thought it was a lavatera seedling (I have many of them and I like lavatera), but the newer, curly foliage does not look familiar.
Gaillardia Lemons and Oranges among the lavender. Looks like only one of three plants returned. I don't have good luck with it and it's in an ideal location.
Hydrangea - not sure which. First time it's blooming.
Allium is cool even after bloom.
Blue Billow.
Oenothera - Missouri primrose.
Gold-leafed hydrangea. First time it's blooming and I really like it.
Another shot.
Last - Rouge Cardinal.
Patti, looks great as always
JoAnn, just awesome
Victor, love the blue of that Blue Billow and the bright color on the rouge cardinal
Another pot marigold( I think) in my wildflower garden
Nice shots, all.
Patti I love that 'Goldcrest'!! What a stunning color on a foxglove!!
Love the JM & Blue Billow Victor.
Caladium 'Miss Muffet' (thats what my Daddy called me when I was a little girl so I had to have it!
victor any idea on what tree the jm seedling is? looks great
