Garden Photos of '09... # 31

Ruffled apricot dl

my daisies came back after Wall-e dug them up

Everyone is looking good, as usual!!!

Not too much happening here, flower-wise.

One of my favorites ... opuntia

Closer shot of the opuntia

This one isn't one of my favorites, but it's "growing" on me .....

Looks nice when you get up close to it, eh?

Common Yarrow

Some more of the yarrow, which is spreading everywhere, from farther back

Persian Centaurea blooming strongly, still.

My milkweed is over three foot tall, a volunteer (or two).

They smell awesome!

Everyone loves the milkweed!

A closer shot of the milkweed umbel.

Seems all the weeds are blooming now!

Right next door to the milkweed, the butterfly weed.

And, then my camera battery died

:-(

very nice all... I have to try and take some shots tomorrow

Nice pics, everyone!

Jo Anne, your gardens are really coming along nicely.

Noreaster, I love that 'Blue Ivory' hosta! That's another thing to add to my extensive wish list!

I have opuntia, too, Willie, and it is one of my favorites as well. Love your milkweeds! They are also some of my favorites.

Karen

Here is one of my late mother's hybrids that I love. Need to pick a name for it. It has a good sized flower and is quite tall. Will have to write down the specs on it for registration.

DL 'Bela Lugosi'

DL 'Callie Kaiser'

DL 'Cranview Orange Crush' (future registration)

Groupshot of 'Cranview Orange Crush'

NOID DL, one of my favorites, as it just lights up this spot. Really bright!

I like that last one. It really brightens the spot!

Big fat buds of DL 'Jolyene Nicole' getting ready to burst open.

Thanks, Jumper! It sure does brighten that spot. It is in open, dappled shade, thereby proving that DL's will do well in those conditions. They get more blooms in full sun, but if you have open shade (not deep shade), they will do fine, and the lighter colored ones will go far towards brightening up that shady bed.

Here is a shrub rose called 'Greetings' that I really like.

DL 'King Size'

DL 'Loving Lion'

DL 'Mountain Violet'

DL 'Over The Rainbow'

DL 'Painted Peach'

DL 'Preppy Pink'

One of my favorite hybrids of my late mother's. Haven't picked a name for it yet. Great performer. Usually has lots of flowers open every day.
