Thanks, Pat. Just started a few days ago. This is only the second full year so I will get a better sense of duration this time.
Garden Photo's 09.....#38
Thanks for the info Victor. Do you also still have 'Kopper King' or was that someone else? Does that bloom at the same time? I wish these bloomed a little earlier but they are certainly worth waiting for, I might have to get one again. And do the deer leave them alone too?
Yes, I have KK too and love it. Huge blooms. Deer don't seem to bother the hibiscus, but caterpillars do. Have to use BT on them.
Victor, I'm really liking that hibiscus. Will have to put on my wish list.
Karen
It's really nice, Karen.
One more.
Thanks all. And Precious says thanks to all! really! she's very good with gestures.
Ngam... I will have to find (maybe easier to just take one) a picture of Precious in, what I call, her 'lion pose'. The family ties are very obvious.
Robin... Hurray for the echies!! they are really the only plant that was in bloom during that heat wave, where the blooms didn't take a dive or dry on the plant. All of them did bleach out, or maybe they blanched since they were getting a lot of water, but they held on! As soon as the 100 deg days ended, they all started to set new flowers.
Great hibiscus victor.
Yes, very nice Victor!
... and now redchic has me hooked on the green envy too! lol!

I forget the name of this one every time.
Red Phlox
'Stolen Treasure'
Morning Glory 'Crimson Rambler' i think.
'Lovely Girl' (pretty sure)
'Angelique' today.
I know, I know Pixie, I think it seems that way because half of the season was washed out! I've been gipped! lol! Labor day is less than a month away!
- All beautiful lilies Pixie, Giorsa is my fav although they are all fantastic!
DA's Tea Clipper
well i found out the name of my EE it is colocasia Illustris
Celeste, I love all your lilies and phlox, and that Stolen Treasure DL is really gorgeous.
Weather was great today for gardening. Just right. But I could smell fall in the air. Oooo, I said a dirty word!!!!! Yikes!
Karen
Thank you both. Tea Clipper is beautiful!
Pixie... I love that noid Dahlia!
Wc2....tea clipper is pretty. Sorry to have you hooked on another plant. At least it's an easy, fairly tough, and reliable plant to be hooked on!
Pensacola..... illustris certainly fits.
Yes it does the person whom I got that plant from gave me the name.
Allison - sure - I'll try a cutting if you can spare a snip! Thanks!
Pat - Green Envy is a winner!
Shelly - love all of your echis! That Tomato Soup intrigues me!
Pixie - so many pretty shots! This is my first year to try the scarlet phlox and I love them! Yours are very pretty!!
WaterCan - love that Tea Clipper!
Didn't know phlox came in such a gorgeous red----do you remember where you got it Pixie? Also love the MG---Pensc--glad you have a name for your EEs----mine is just plain, but it's my first one, & I'm liking it. Here's a nice full phlox---many are kind of scrawny this summer....
Red rambler...
Gold Band lily---I think...
And gaura, finally opening....
Marilyn, that Gold Band lily is great! I'm really liking everyone's lilies. I bought a bunch this year. Getting into them more. Hate battling the lily beetle, though, and I had botrytis on a number of them this year, too.
Karen

Allison.... very pretty!
Robin... What kind of guara is it that is pure white? it's so light and airy looking!
Thanks Donniebrooke! I admit, I'm very intrigued by Echie Tomato soup as well, every time that I see it!
nice shots all... Pixie love your noid dahlia!
Well you have been very busy again all of you haven't you. All really nice. Pixie the lilies, DLs and phlox are really nice. I need to find a spot for some red phlox I think.
WC love that DA rose. Most of mine are gone, love the flowers, hate the blackspot and fight with all the bugs.
Allison what a wonderful batch of pics. I really like the BF, bird and critter shots. It is so much fun to watch what lengths a squirrel will go to to get a free meal. Beautiful begonias too.
Here is my gerbera daisy loving the sunshine:
ooooh, pretty color, Pensacola!!
Marilyn - love the color of that phlox and the Rambler.
I spent the morning out there cutting off hosta stems and daylily stalks that had all gone by. Then I pulled a ton of weeds out of the "island" area that is now "showcased" by the new circular drive. It wasn't as noticeable a mess before, so I just had to get out there and start to tame it. I heard Hank telling the driveway guy, "Uh oh, Louise now has a lot of excuses to make new gardens!" LOL....I guess he knows me pretty well!!! I can't even take care of the ones I have already, but oh well!! (Snicker)
thanks Ngam... it is fun to watch the critters on nice mornings.. pretty gerbera Pensa!
pinto salmon geranium finally opened
