'Rave On'
Garden Photos of '09 ... #28
Coleus
Viola grown from seed.
Allium
your welcome Pixie!!!... it looks great
Victor 3 out of my 4 L & O returned... got lucky this year... could your NOID be a malva?... the leaves sort of look like that except the curly top
Wow everyone's photos are so nice...... Victors like a professional photographer there. : )
Patti is wowing me with the gorgeous roses and those Digitalis that I totally want. Hopefully I'll have some from the ones I grew from seed this year. It won't be until next year though.
Thank you redchic and Karen .. That is Scrappy (like scooby's cousin) lol He is a little hunter and he likes to dig at least one of everything I plant up and poop there instead. Ugh... Hopefully he knows something I don't and is helping them. lol
To give a size idea he was on a big Hardy Hibiscus Leaf .. I don't know he was at least 2.5" long in the body.
creepy!!
Pixie you are like a professional too .. huh? Sorry I kinda grouped you in with Victor until I double checked. : )
Okay so I think I exaggerated .. like 1.5" body. I'm going by memory here. He was rolled up in the leave and I unrolled it and disturbed him. I don't want him near those Hibiscus.. I have to treat them. Don't want to kill the good guys though.
Very nice, Celeste. I'm assuming you bought that caladium as a plant. My bulbs are not doing too much yet.
Thank you, Meredith!
Bill - I have no idea who the parents of that seedling are. Wish I did! I love playing with seedlings. I wish there was a way to know how big they would get!
Nope, bought the bulbs in the co-op, put them upstairs in the hotest room in the house and shut the door! lol I have 'Aaron',' Miss Muffet', 'Florida Cardinal', and 'White Queen'
All the talk about Maple Tree's made me go take a picture of Auntie's Red Maple. This tree is just magnificent!!!

My first echinacea, Sundown. Can't wait till it opens
Oh - you started them inside.
Great tree!
Looks hopeful, Jen.
Achillea, this was supposed to be red, I moved the original and missed this baby.
Moonbeam coreopsis
Noid asiatic
Funny how I started a blue and yellow garden and at the current time my wildflower garden just has blue and yellow in it.
Looking down from the deck at all the plants I still need to get planted.
Very Pretty Jen! I have the same kinda unfinished view here. I keep it in my driveway so I am reminded when ever I come home. : )
Another shot of Abundance.
Last - close shot of the yellow hydrangea flowers. Cool how it's a combo of blue and pink.
Awesome shots, everyone!!
Victor ... could that noid be a stray mallow??
I planted one I wish now I hadn't.
Cool Bud on what is hopefully Chicago peace.
Could be, Will and Allison. Lavateras are malvas, so maybe it's still that?
Mock Orange Blossom
This poppy is such a pretty color with this cool weather.
Mmmm I wish I could smell that Mock Orange!
Weigela 'Carnival'
Love that Poppy!
Columbine still blooming,
another
Every one of my pics are going to look wet, because they are. We just had a flashing warning come across our TV screen: our coastline now has a flood warning.
'Niobe' blooming in the rain.....
I have no idea what these are or where they came from. They have been dotting my yard for years now and I love them.
Mt. Laurel
One of my first DL's to bloom.
S.I.
Last one for tonight, one of my favorite J.I.'s
Great shots, Celeste! Which DL is that? So far, I still only have Stella in bloom.
It's actually a seedling that was given to me. I call it 'J.T.'s Baby'. It's just been planted a month ago so im impressed so far! If it lives thru a Maine winter...I'll be ecstatic!!!
This one was a gift also, it has a name but I can't remeber it at the moment. Something 'Edge"
Great shots, Victor, Celeste, Jen and Meredith!
Victor, I love your JM seedling. Nice color, for sure! And I love your shot of the Oranges and Lemons Gaillardia with the lavender. I got that one last year, just one plant, and it came back for me. Didn't know if it would. I have heard it is marginal for our area.
I'm thinking what Allison is thinking about your NOID plant, Victor, that's it's a malva.
I'm liking the spidy, Meredith. Cool!
Nice tree, Celeste! I'm guessing is Norway Maple 'Crimson King'. Very invasive, and the seedlings are plain old green, unfortunately. They must propagate it by cuttings. That DL is gorgeous, as is the JI and SI. That NOID flower is some sort of Dianthus, though I don't know which one.
Jen, that's a cool birdbath you have in your wildflower garden. I also have a bunch of stuff that needs to be planted, Jen. I keep telling myself I won't buy more until everything is planted. Then I'm out somewhere and something just catches my eye, and I have to have it! Darn it!!!!!
Karen
Victor.... Fantastic shots as always. I love that blue hyrdrangea. Hopefully it wont be too long before that JM seedling gets large enough that you could take some branch ends from it and graft them. Wouldn't it be great if you could somehow get it into production?!?! Could we see some of the stem of that NOID? It probably is a malva, but a side shot would help.
Pixie... great kalmia shot!
Meredith... that rosebud is awesome.
Jen.... I'm waiting with you on the Sundown!
