Welcome, Ayah! I don't remember you - but I don't remember much, these days.

Very nice pics. I really admire anyone who can do pots and planters well and you certainly can. Love the frog and tree trunk man pots.

Love the frog with flowers. Everything else ia pretty too.

ifound, you have rose campion in the photo in post #6867610 and astilbe in the photo in post #6867676

Very nice.

Thank you everyone for all the nice comments!
This was my 1st year ever doing container plants but I have enjoyed it.
I am sure it will not be my last, now I just have to come up with more containers :>))

love all the containers... the frog is the best!!

I think I can help with one ID. The daylily right after the rose of sharon looks to be 'Frans Hals'. I have some of these in my garden.

Martha,
yours look so much brighter than mine are they actually that bright or is it the picture mine are brighter than the picture shows but not nearly as bright as your picture.

Very pretty, Martha!!

Very nice, ifound!

Thank you everyone!

Thanks. These get lots of sun, but other than that I couldn't say. I am also totally sure they are Frans Hals. They used to be a more popular variety before being edged out at the garden centers by Stella D'Oro.

Can't believe I missed this one for so long .... so many nice photos!

I am liking your volunteer JitP, sorry I don't know much about them. I know the fruit needs to turn red, so sometime in the fall??

Everything there is growing so lushly.... looks awesome!

Okay Fran Hals it is! Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments!

Thanks WNYwillieB that is more than I knew about them I want to try and collect the seeds for trade but was not sure how or when to do it so I will continue to watch for the color change and any or info from anyone on this would be great!

Here is some information I have run across

Collect seeds in early fall from a Jack in the Pulpit which has ripe, red berries.

Remove red flesh ; plant seeds immediately ; do not let dry out.

Sow seed outdoors where you want them to grow ...
Cover seeds with 1/4 to 1/2 inch soil.
Seedlings should come up in early spring.

Another method:

Refrigerate freshly cleaned seeds in a plastic bag with some moist sand or potting soil for six weeks, then sow the sprouted seeds into pots.

Plant the seedlings outdoors in spring.

Once plants are established, they self-seed.

Hope that gives you some clues .... I have never grown them, so I cannot vouch for this method.

Thank you!
