What a gorgeous delphinium, Holly. That yellow daylily might be Blackeyed Stella.
(almost) July blooms
Beautiful pictures, Holly.
Holly is that pagans purple more blue or more purple in person?
Jen, That pic is right on the mark color wise. It has a blue outer edge with the purple inner. To me I would think looking at the plant in the distance it looks like a dark purple but that could change depending on what is growing around it. I could see the color going one way or the other with differnt flowers bordering it. Ric says it's violet-blue, like spring violets, and I think I agree. I've never tried collecting seeds but if you would like them I could try.
i just wish they weren't so floppy... such beautiful flowers.. and such a train wreck with all this rain
Sure, Holly, that sounds great give it a try, can't hurt, thanks.
Sounds good.
New Lily
pretty begonia
Daylilies
One of my rose bushes gets some shelter from the rain even though it gets enough sun. This is the only bush that is doing well (not all mushy with black spot).
Holly, thanks for taking the time to show us all your beautiful blooms.
Can someone please tell me (or show me) where the thread is I read recently about the homemade fertilizers??? Chantell helped me out over the weekend to put it together for my Mom, but I want to do some more reading about it now that I'm back home.
Thanks!
Karen

Hope one of these was it....Gita
Holly that lily is gorgeous. Do you know the name? And I love the color on that daylily.
Hart it's an OT from Ednie thru DG Co-op "Lavon"
I think the DL came from John and Ruby at the swap at your house. I have a couple in there that I didn't get from them but not many.
Is this a black eyed susan vine?
It appeared in my wildflower garden
Bunch of sweet peas 'America'
noid lily
Thanks Gita... the second one was indeed the one I was looking for!
:o)
bugs eye view of hosta flower
another hosta
bunch of roses
delph that just can't stand on it's own
Can anyone confirm this is a fall web worm???
Yeah, that's what it is. Here's an oddball daylily, Siloam Fine Art
Anyone know what this plant is?
I originally thought it was campanula, but the flowers are soooo tiny.
I don't know, there was a bunch here a couple years ago - I thought it might be catnip at first.
Oh gosh if it's catnip that's getting ripped right out!
It's worse, cats don't care about this stuff, and even catnip has a few more flowers than this plant.
'Vintage Bordeaux' and 'Screech Owl'
That looks like blackeyed susan vine, Jen. It sure is a pretty color with that speckling.
I don't think that's catnip. Catnip has purple flowers, the leaves are more of a gray/green and not shaped quite like that.

It looks more like spearmint, although that has purple flowers too, or peppermint. I haven't grown that one in a while and don't remember the flowers. Maybe it's some kind of wild mint. Does the foliage have a scent?
Your daylilies are really pretty, Claypa.
very nice shots Jen!
That is a black eyed susan vine, Flowerjen. Every year I start the Blushing Susie from seed and it looks great combined with any other vine or all alone. How lucky for you to have it growing wild!!
R_R_R, My Blushing Susie is growing not flowering yet but growing.
Holly, my blushing susie vine for this year is very slow also. I have one that I started indoors the beginning of February and it is just now one 2 feet tall and beginning to bloom. The spring/summer rains overdrenched much of what I put out and the late frost took its toll also. Your plant came from my second batch of seeds which were started in late February. I think that from now on I will try to start all my annuals much earlier than recommended providing that I have enough room to keep them happy until they can go outside.
Roses, that sure is pretty with the blackeyed susan vine and morning glories climbing up your deck.
Awesome, RRR
Thanks Hart.
I've learned that I must start more of these and the ice plant delosperma cooperi next year because my friends and neighbors requested these more than any of the other stuff that I start.
Thank you also Jen. I see that you have all kinds of beautiful colors going in your gardens.
R_R_R, What are those 2 dark leafed plants growing in the back against the house?
a day lily, don't know what type, have had them for years, probably should divide them
