Garden Photo's 09.....#37

For certain!!

That dahlia is very striking! Wow, It's almost as tall as me. I knew you'd like 'Tom', the good news is he only gets better with time!

This is my first bloom on 'Lake Carey'

I love lilies and that one is great.
How tall does TPouce get?

My favorite is only 10-12" tall........'Angelique'

Beautiful DL Karen! I really like 'Newberry Touch' and 'Dragon King' is one i've been eyeing for a few years. I have several of your others you listed, we have great taste!! lol


'Dark and Dangerous'

In full sun T.P should be around 1.5 - 2 feet.

This is 'Baywatch' first bloom.

Allison your 'Volcano' is really nice, so is 'Black Beauty'. Mine has yet to open but they last a long time once it starts.
I can't believe how many hummers you seem to have, i'v only had one or 2 this year. I think it's because of the big predator birds that are nesting near by.

DL 'Night Beacon'

'Bridgeton Hoopla'

'Yelloween' I think.

Thanks, Jen, Jo Anne, Celeste and Marilyn!

That Black Beauty is a stunner, Allison!

Tom Pounce is a beautiful lily, Jo Anne.

Lake Carey is gorgeous, too, Celeste, and Angelique is precious. Night Beacon is a favorite DL of mine.

Karen

i agree with karen lake carey is very nice as is angelique. both of you have too many to pick a few that are keepers.

These NE picture forums are a lot to keep up with! Everyone's pics are gorgeous!
Wow Karen that first Prairie Blue Eyes cross is stunning! That's one I would want to grow! I love your Mae Graham too. Actaully I love all of them but those two stood out to me!

Here is an unusual pic I got. How many honeybees does it take to pollinate a pumpkin flower? : )

Apparently a lot! :) Lovely pics everyone!

I think they may be pollinating more than the flower...

My tree guy Brad was here and its the scotch pine borer beetle.
Two trees are infected.
One tree worse than the other so it will have to come down and they will start a systemic treatment of the other tree in hopes to save it.
I will wait to see if the second tree lives (about 2 years to tell) and then if its a gonner I'll take it down too and replace with a redbud .
Treatments aare 75 bucks each treatment.He didnt say how many in a season.
I said the value of the plants in that area is more than the cost of treatment and tree removal.
End of October for the really bad tree. Treatments start ASAP.

Jo Anne...... Ouch!!!! I'm sorry to hear that about your trees. That's bad. Hopefully the better one end up making it, especially given the cost of the treatments!

Meredith.... great pic!

Ok Pixie...... how many Daylilies do you have??? lol. They are all lovely.

Well JoAnn that stinks.
Great pics, Celeste

joann better to know what it is than wait and wonder - good luck!

Finally...Lantana

Sorry, Jo Ann. Might be cheaper just to cut your losses and drop both of them. Depends on how much you really like them.

Rudbekia fulgida still going.

Geranium pinto salmon just starting

Sorry about the trees, Jo Ann---I have a very tall white pine not looking good---Dh would like to cut them all, but I worry about the birds. Allison, like the Volcano---Pixie, I'm drooling over Night Beacon, & Jen that's a cheery looking lantana. Here's a bright phlox I wish I had more of...

Blue Paradise looking a little pink this year....

And someone digging--er, admiring, Lady in Red....

Nice doggie pic! Try cropping it with the pooch in the upper right-hand corner so it's just the dog and the bloom!

None of my phlox survived powdery mildew this year. I've spraying the milk mix but with all the rain we keep getting doesn't look like it's helping at all. Should I just cut them all down????

Sorry to hear about the scotch pine beetle, JoAnn ..... Glad you have someone to take care of it properly for you! Makes a big diference.

Lantana looks great! Nice color!!

All those DL's .... I don't even think I would have room for just the FAVORITES of all the favorites.

I can't believe how many blossoms there are on the StarGazers this year! Like a tsunami .....

I hear capstan? is what is needed for powdery mildew .... I have to look into that more ...

Mine are starting to fill in .....

wow Meridith those bees are amazing!!!

sorry they took so long Jen... I had no idea

:(

love the doggie pic Robin
