My Morning Glory Adventures continued.. Three

we came from here.... http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1000055/

anyone can join in on this thread.. here in Kansas, we have a bit of a wait for many of our beautiful morning glories. This thread will show all the grow outs from generous DGrs' that have shown me there are more kinds of morning glories than I ever knew.. there are also some other kinds of flower and plant pictures of my back yard with trades from other DGrs' here and they can see the progress of their contributions to my Back Yard Project, 2009. Thanks to all that have sent me all these wonderful things..

jamie lynn ... thanks, Ronnie

Poor kids next door had to get their sewer line dug up and replaced, I feel for them as that is what we had to do eight years ago, which is what started me on my Back Yard Project... so as I post pictures if you see this front loader and some guys, that is what is going on to the north of me.. on the patio table you see all my plants and planters that the kids have gotten me, along with my desert rose which is about to flush again..

while I was out back for a few minutes, I found a few new things.. keep in mind I aimlessly lanted all kinds of seeds in my planters and pots.. so have no clue what some of these are.. if u know chime right in..

I plant things in the vege garden to have something there as it dies down.. here is some bee balm

the helenium is doing good after I thinned it out last fall , i sent alot of this out too to some dgrs'

my morning glory trees are looking bare, but soon they will be loaded,
these are red bud tree and pear tree branches I had trimmed off. the one closest is Rebecca... the lavender and alba moon vines are the other tall vines in the back there

here is a closer view of the mg corner, this is the south west corner of the patio

the farthest tree is the best form I think

Rebeccas tree is very curved and slanted.. I will put her back in the south flower bed.. and the tree will rest against the shrubs there.. that is brugmansia "Jean Pasko" in the planter with i. batata" Blackie" and coctail gin begonias

here is my red salvia "lady in red" , and u can see the roja banana in the back there that Tropicman gave me.. those salvia plants were so very very tiny when I got them, I hope everyone elses that I sent out look as good as these do//

can't wait for this to open.. any guesses?

this little basket is really colorful, whoever gets this one will enjoy it lots, I can't wait for the tops of these to fall over..because.. they will

here is the backside of the southwest corner fo the patio, facing due east.. u can see i moved the hanging basket of petunias.. and have the training string up for the mgs by the northside of the back porch rail now

here is the north west corner from the back, facing east again.. it was really bright out in the am.. u can see the lions mane wool training string to the upper right of this photo, and all that tall stuff is yellow evening primrose that is open all night..the 4 o'clocks are almost to the point of covering the utility boxes on the house.. ALMOST

here is the northeast fence area and u can see the pink i. purpurea going crazy, i keep having to pinch it to keep it from eating everything around there..this area will be cool when the three lions tail plants get really tall in the tomatoe barrell there, and when the cestrum and other jmgs come up it will look spectacular, and hopefully we won't see the neighbors' stuff too much anymore

my stork is barely visible now, and there are alot of trades along this south part of the fence, and everything seems so happy under that canopy of sweet autumn and honesuckles and loniceras, and morning glorys

I found this hidden behind some taller prenniels tha i trimmed down, it is getting tall, the stem is sort of spotted, and the pot in back of it is pretty empty, ( need to get it out and fill it up) I have no clue as to what it is or where it came from.. help!

here is a different view of this plant.. just love my purple spires in front of it, tho

still no buds on this ground glory yet.....sure looks like a weed right now..

my first glads to open are by the jmg pot out back in the north west corner flower bed

this was tagged mg tree when it came to me in a trade.. but it is not an i. carnea for sure.. we will have to wait and see I guess

milk weed finally bloomed..

devils claw is sure putting out some weird looking leaves..

a closer look at my stork area ... love the different colours and leaves

i have a new red monarda this year, called garden view scarlett..

this is my trade area on the south fence.. hope u all recognise what u gave me.. if u are missing it and forgot u sent it to me.. here it is! LOL
Thanks, Bonnie, Don, Rita, Cat, Peg and Dollie.. here are your babies u sent me

my I. carnea from winter sowing..

I found this.. have no clue, but I am hoping it is a ginger from a trade..

Meet Chrissy, and her neighbor to the right, I. tubina... good neighbors I think..

I. Machorisa or maybe spelled different anyway, this is in the pouch planter on the south vine fence...it looks very cool

here is the whole pouch pocket planter , vines galore.. thanks ,sis ,for this thing .. seems to be working out okay.. still think I could do this with a shoebag, tho.. LOL

remember when I said I tore out a bunch of my volunteers, and repotted them? well they are going strong, they are in the pot to the right under the pouch planter and above the red monarda bloom, and this is the vine fence south side still trying to cover up the neighbors yard from my sight.. here there are about 20 kinds of things growing.. bignonia, thumbergia, lonicera, mgs, jasmines, coral vine, snail vine, wisteria, clematis and cleodendrum to name a few.. using the neighbors mulberry tree as a shade canopy above it and hopefully will not be able to see thru this in another month.

here is the bottom of that fence and a view of what is planted there..

this is the very end of the south fence n the east side.. the salvia black and blue comes back very strong for me here.. there is some bamboo planted on the other side of the gate on that fence and it has started growing alot.. can't wait for those lillies to bloom..

close up of my b&b

Beautiful flowers, Debra. That tall yellow flower from the previous thread, I had a few of those. I think they came up from birdseed. I thought they were some kind of wild broccoli. I don't know how far you are from Topeka. It is best known as being the birthplace of yours truly (haha).

Cool... I hope to go to Topeka this sunday and meet up with A DGr for the water garden tour... the pic posted 4 up is my sweet pea, not my mgs from volunteer..

Debra - Fabulous looking plants! Love this photo of a monarda bloom: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6730552

so hot here, I keep missing my early morning blooms, *sniff* I went to Tropicmans' yesterday after work,had a wonderful visit with him and his wife Patty, I had given him one of those shower caddy planters with blue silk in it at the beginning of spring.. .. it was loaded with already spent blooms, they looked like they were awsome, I wish he would take at least one picture while they are fresh open.. but that is like 6 am here.. 102 today..
