a few zinnias
July 2009 in the garden
Yess they are lisianthus. I hope to winter them over in the GH... The stems of the toadflax get longer as they bloom more. You can always take some of the lower leaves and flowers off...

Mexican sunflower
My banana is blooming... I was told it was Musa velutina, which produces a pink fruit (ornamental) but I looked it up and it appears that is not what it is... Interesting anyway.

OOOoooww so many lovelies today!
Thanks Sally, the squirrels turn up everyday causing havoc! I love the Hollhocks, the tall white are Lavateria, they give a bit of height and block my neighbour a bit lol!
Thanks Yardqueen, If I remember correctly your Hollyhocks are lovely doubles? Looking forward to those
.Love the Mexican Sunflowers, Rudbeckia, Milkweed and Banana!! What is that pink flower next to the toadflax?
Oh Hi Dianne, Thank you! I didn't see you there for a minute!
Terri,
I have several kinds of HH from seed, but I have not had any bloom yet. You may have me mixed up with someone else... I will have some doubles if they ever bloom. They may not bloom till next year.
the flower with the toadflax is celosia. It is kind of blurry so hard to tell...

Yellow shrimp plant
Red shrimp plant

WOW! Look at all those babies on your Spider plant, Fantastic!
Asparagus fern... This was rescued last fall from my mother, who had it in the same pot for (and I am not exagerating) about 50 years. She got it from my grandmother who died when I was about 10. I am 61. sooo... anyway, it was a scaggly couple of sticks when I got it. the tubers filled the pot. It is feeling much better now...

Begonias and Coleus
A pond pic
another with begonia blooms
The pond really is there! This angle makes it appear there is no pond!
It's good to see the family Asparagus making a comeback Yardqueen!
Your pond looks wonderful, such beautiful planting around it. Thanks for the pics today.
It's raining here, just typical the first week of my summer holidays and we get thunderstorms...!
Yardqueen, just wonderful photos! Stunning. I love the begonias and coleus.
How nice to have your g.mother's asparagus fern. I have an azalea from my g.mother who is gone now. So special.
Yardqueen everything looks very luscious at your place. I love those little shrimp plants.
Terri you got yourself a red hot poker it did survive.
I believe it is me who has the double white hollyhocks. Yours look great!
I can imagine the pond there and what a surround it has, wow loads of color!
Got a passiflora bloomin here, don't get a whole lot cause it is potted, but I just love them.
Purple monarda.
White lavender, that doesn't sound right?
Daylily, I have no idea of which one, but a pretty yellow.
Lily in orange.
Pretty pink dahlia spider
Oooops! we cross posted! The lilies are lovely! And white lavender doesn't sound any worse than a yellow rose or white pinks. Or a pink Texas Bluebell!
