Lady Scarlet. I pair this with Happy Returns.
Garden Photos of '09... # 31
Here's a crappy shot of Indian Giver and Pandora. Need them closer for a better one.
Victor, I love your Hydrangea/Lily combo. 'Goldilocks' usually gives me about 6 or 7 seedlings each year. I try to leave some seeds on but mostly I deadhead because it's right along my front walk and I like to keep it tidy. So I would say it self seeds but not aggressively.
Victor - what is that daylily in the post right after your After Midnights (which are gorgeous, by the way....sniff!). I love that color of the daylily! I would also like that combo you have of the Lady Scarlet next to Happy Returns. Great combo!
Celeste - I have "Indian Giver" from you as well.....can't wait until it blooms!!! It's in my Pixie Garden.
Victor - forgot to ask - Do your After Midnights reseed a lot or is that one clump you posted?
Wow, I think I missed an entire thread. Love the deep colors on this one.
I'll check on that DL, Louise. The AM's are in their second year. No seedlings yet. That is one plant.
Indian Giver is a beauty---also love the echies---Dyane, your gardens are looking great---no photos today---my DLs are waterlogged!
Awesome shots, Dyane! I love the one of the monarda with the spider. I also love your Pollyanna lily. Luscious! And I love the October Daphne!
Nice rendition of our flag, Tex!
Your shots are great, too, Victor! I love that 'Emilia Plater' clem. The color is outstanding! That 'After Midnight' echi is stunning! And 'Lady Scarlet' is amazing! I have one very similar called 'Scarlet Orbit'. I had trouble finding 'Lady Scarlet' when I looked it up on line. Turns out it's a Blooms of Bressingham cultivar. Oh, and I tried that new search engine called Bing.com, and I really like it.
Karen
great shots all..... hope the seeds Pixie gave me and I am growing aren't the ugly cherry brandy...
Victor that sad hellebore ... so sorry.. hope it's ok
Lovely Aftermidnight Victor.
Its so rainy and damp here past three days ,nothing is blooming except the mold .
Bedding and bath towles and clother are damp until body heat dries them off.
This is the only pic I took yesterday.
Combos of Ppavars and Acyaea Black Neglegee
Very foggy but no rain (yet) this morning... I'll try to get some pics of what's blooming
This is waht was blooming today a NOID DL I'll take pic later when its mor open.
In case you all think yellow lilies is all thats blooming here.
This is a longer view
The Birch cage is for Dahlias
I was actually wondering what that was... pretty good!
Very nice... what is the lily that is blooming?
There are 2 varieties
On the right is a 2 year old clump of Fata Morgana
On the left with dark red throats is Music Art
spray paint it green... it will fit right in
I never thought of that. If it doesnt disolve this winter I will do that.
DD will take in the bulbs and I will put lilies in that spot. I really need to getaway from the yellows, thats all the colors I have right now. Even the later ones are copperking and whites or creams.
I want some pinks and a dark black-red for intrest in that area.
There is some wphlox David,Penstamon Red Husker and a verbascum Sixteen Candles behind the cage.
Many plants need moving.
I also added agastache Apache Sunset I doubted the plants would all live and of course they are so its getting crowded in there.
I have to move some phlox since it has been shaded by that huge delph. ... poor thing got crowded out
well that's good for you... crowded plants are better than none
:)
Its the most expensive weed controle ever.
LOL
This is from another part of the house.
Its my red garden. It will look better when the Red Dutch and Shocking lilies bloom
Talk about coverage.
Here is one mother-hunker ligularia
I just took this pic and wanted to show how the area looks since 2008
Joann, what is that towering Lily next to the Ligularia?
Dont I wish I knew.
Many people want to know
I will try to find it on Brent and Beckys just because I'm cureous.Its supposed to be a recurved cream with a yellow throat.
I ordered?
and the tags said? but thats not what the lily is so I called and sent a picture of what bloomed with the wrong tag.
They didnt know either.
This is what bloomed
I checked all the lilies on B&B 's website and its not there this year.
Patti has what I ordered I saw it last year blooming in one of her garden shots, its a womans name. I'm so jealous.

Here is my new Rudbeckia moreno .Its so dark and dreary here the subtlty of the colors isnt good.
That ligularia looks great, ge. Do you guys not have a lot of slugs down there? I've heard that's one of their favorites.
Still nothing blooming here, probably because of the weather. Here is hosta 'Blue Ivory' looking pretty on the day we last had sunshine.
Joann, I know how frustrating that can be to order something specific and then wind up with something else, but it is a nice looking Lily.
Noreaster, you have created such a lovely, tranquil shade garden. Blue Ivory really pops, looks great with the Birch tree.

Thankse, Dyane-
I forgot to add that I love your October Daphne sedum. I have some of that, but it looks nothing like yours! Sedum and Daylilies are two things that I like to torture by forcing them to live in the shade, lol. In the picture of Blue Ivory, that is John Creech sedum on the ground, which actually does surprisingly well in the shade (and that spot is particularly shady).
Thanks Dyane B&B did make it up to me.
I also love the lily.
Noreaster: slugs? of course,and I cant seem to get rid of them.
Sluggo has been used but I didnt follow up.
I am using Cayenne pepper around the new prized JI 's there are too many hostas to sprinkle pepper on all of them.
The poor Ligularias do look lacy.
Very nice, Jo Ann. I like the coleus / caladium combo.
Thanks Victor: that was a pot I just threw leftovers into. Sometimes the carefull plans ar not as good as the thoughtless tosses.
Maybe thats a thread.
Garden's looking great, Jo Ann---hope to see the dahlias when I visit. Nor'easter---very pretty shade garden! Here are some shots taken with raindrops on them---hard to imagine, I know! Pixie's Purple Pawprint DL----
And 'Brilliant Pink Iceburg' han't stopped blooming since May----
You will be surprised when you see it.
