Garden Photo's 09 ......# 36

I have to get my butt in gear to send out some trades that are long over-due.

If you would like some Britt Marie, Allison, I can send you some of mine with the jade plant I am sending you! (I also have a Rex cutting for you, too!!!!)

I am looking to get some of the Ligularia przewalskii. I think because I am Polish, but I do like the plant, too (watch it actually turn out to be Russian). (EDIT: Go figure!! He IS Russian! http://davesgarden.com/guides/botanary/go/4685/ )

Your pond area has come together so nicely, as I said before just love it. Sunsets, daylilies, lilies and dahlias, wonderful. Hollyhocks look a lot better than mine this year. All the wet took a big toll on them. Thanks for reminding me how pretty they can be.

I like things that plant themselves and surprise me. Here are some phlox that have interesting buds and purple stems, the flowers are totally white.

nice sunset celeste and flowers pics - you too willie!
Here is a wide view of some echi's w/sunflowers - can you see the butterfly?

here it is with a hunk missing from it's wing

and another winged visitor

razzmatazz echi

love this echi

coconut lime

volunteer marigold in the brick walkway

Now thats an interseting phlox ngam. I love the pink stem!

Phoebe HH is Hollyhock. Glad you like the sunset, it was my first Florida sunset and the colors were so intense!

Thank you RC, Midnight in M. is one of my favorite darker ones.

Willie, RE: room, cram, cram, cram....divide and give away some, then cram cram cram!! lol

volunteer petunia w/marigold - i have these all over the walkway and do not have the heart to rip'em out

Nice Echie's Bill!!!!! Love that Coconut Lime!!

Lovely Bill, I see him, a zebra. Very nice grouping and I like the sunflowers too. Oh I see I'm right and the other pics are great too. The later the season gets they start to look well worn don't they. Doesn't seem to slow them down though. All the echinacea are nice. Is that 'Green Envy'? I'm still waiting for mine to bloom here. Looks like it is doing well for you. Check out the new ones that are coming on the coneflower forum winners and losers thread.

Another batch that just moved it are pinwheels.

should have posted this one on the blue thread

how hot and humid was it yesterday?

Also an echinacea self seeded from a yellow 'Sunrise'. Went back a generation or two I guess.

foxglove

look at the lilly pads

Bill love the overhead blue shot and the HHH pic is right on.

glad's

a better shot of this echi - green envy i believe, one of my fav's

last one and another echi fav - green eyes

Oh Green Eyes has been on my list and now has jumped to first place!! Lovely!!!!!!!

'Peppermint Pinwheel'

thx celeste - coconut lime appears to be a lot like some of these new ones like milkshake, it will be interesting to see those bloom next year - this one is not so tall or the ones in front of it got bigger than expected - got some re-arrang'en to do this fall.

thx ngam i also have a volunteer echi that came back purple, like your it is a nice deeper purple - not sure who it came from though

I'm pretty sure this is 'South Seas'

'Hard Christmas Candy'

The lily pads look like Monets garden.
Your gardens are beautiful Bill

'Bally Hoo'

south seas is very nice

'Westbourne Kirby Kids Play Time'

Thanks Bill.

Rue Royal and friend in the background.

Oh pretty Pixie. Not a DL expert here, do all the flowers on that plant do that or just the one bloom? The other question is can you make a plant from that scape that will have all poly blooms?

This is the friend.

Your daylilies are fantastic Pixie

"do all the flowers on that plant do that ?" NO I wish!! lol
I don't think you can but im no expert either. I just grow em!! lol I ususally get at least one poly a year, if im lucky, two.
I know that some DG'ers are working on poly flowers. Meaning they are trying to breed it so you will get polys everytime.
Phlox

Thank Jo Ann, im trying not to repeat any but sometimes a second bloom looks twice as good as the first!

'Triumphator'

Lovely yellow noid.
