Garden Photo's 09.....#38
I enjoyed those photos, Allison----the butterflies on the butterfly bush were fantastic. Shelley, that gaura is the common lindheimeri---no pink on it this year----too overcast maybe? Did you raise that geranium, Jen? Nice color.
I wish I could take credit for it but I got it at RU with the MidAtlantic bunch of DG'rs, I'd have to check to the tag to see who it was from.
Celeste, Your Lilies and DL's are really stunning.
OT Lily Futura
Oriental Lily Arabian Red
Helenium 'Dancing Flames'
Nice, Dyane
For everyone who has Oriental lilies....which one is your favorite? I need to add one to my order from Brent and Brecky.
This year I liked 'Time Out', 'Tiger Woods', 'Angelique'
it was from me Jen... glad they are doing well... the ones I planted in the containers in the back are doing well... the ones in the ground up front... not so well
this is the salmon & coral
Robin... that's good to know. I had no idea that guara might loose their color in some situations.
Dyane... I always like helenium, but that one is new to me and a great color!
Flowerjen.... very pretty!
Allison.... I like that combination.
Well here is a picture of my oxalisa it is in other pots that is for sure.
thanks RC
I'm only guessing that's why there's no blush on my gaura---don't know for sure! Jen, I really like Black Beauty, even though it's an Oriental cross---anything blooming well in Aug. gets my vote!
Pixie is your prettifuly dahlia perchance 'Mango Sunset'?
Does Black Beauty have a fragrance?
Robin.... It sounds like a good guess to me! I know that there are a few other plants that do that, so why not! Some friends of mine that I house/pet sit for occasionally have that 'black beauty' lily and I think that it's well worth it! Not only is the color great, but it smells really nice too. Theirs gets very tall as well, at least 6'. But, that might because it's in a fairly shaded location.
Pretty Oxalis Pensacola.
dahlia (almost) from last week
I like this red and white one..... even though it's not mine :-(
Echie tiki torch just opening last week.
O be still my racing heart!!! Redchic may I post red and white dahlia on the Dahlia Forum and see if I can get an ID?
lol....Please do!! I would love to know myself!! my friends whose yard it's in don't know what kind it is.
'Christmas Star' redchic. Dan's Dahlias in WA should offer it in their 2010 catalogue http://www.dansdahlias.com/product_details.php?category_id=199&page=2&item_id=485
I think it is time for a new forum.
You mean a new thread?? I'll start a new one. Do you have dial-up? Does anyone?
i dont have dial-up but it take forever to get to the end where i can post or say something sorry
Just hit Skip to New, and that will bring you to where you last were. If you hit the END key on your keyboard, it will bring you to the last post.
Forgot to say great shots, all!
Just two from me today. Here is hardy hibiscus Kopper King.
And Final Touch.
Christmas Star and Final Touch are just gorgeous!
Thanks Dahlia! What a fast response time too! that's great. There are very few plants that I ever say that I am for certain that I'm going to get when it's available. (providing it's not an exhorbitant price) But that's one of them. Most of the time I say/think that I like something and it gets put on my want list. I chip away at the want list eventually, but it never ends! lol.
Those are both great shots Victor.
Thanks Flowerjen.
I really love Final Touch----just planted it this year in the new bed---glad I'm going to like it! The Christmas Star is also pretty----I need to plant more dahlias. And echies---Tiki Torch is nice, & I've been thinking about Rocky Top. Anyone grow it?
Thanks - yes, Final Touch is one of my favorite DL's.
love that dahlia RC!!
I'm falling behind but all the pictures are beautiful as always. Thanks all for the nice compliments, im glad your liking my blooms. I don't always get to enjoy them as much as I would like this year and I feel like all I do is weed!!
It is only 7 weeks to DD's Wedding so im even more of a scatterbreain than usual, but i'll try to answer the questions.
The dahlia is one from the coops called 'Autumn Fairy'
The red phlox was something I picked up at a greenhouse, it didnt have a tag so i don't even know if it's hardy or an annual.
'San Souci' one of my favorites.
So many pretty photos! I am surprised there were so many great plants considering how bad the weather was this summer. I do have Hydrangea, Ferns and Astilbe that were all very happy with all the rain. They look the best I've ever seen them. [g] Lilies are pristine this year, having managed to keep the RLLBeetle from chewing them to pieces for a change....
very pretty combo!
Very nice shot.
Shelly, love the dahlia shots, especially the red and white one. That's a real stunner! Love the echi with the butterfly friend, too.
Nice shot of Final Touch, Victor! I have that DL too, and I love it.
Celeste, that San Souci lily is amazing! Reminds me of peppermint stick ice cream. Yum!
I second both Victor and Allison on that, lisabeth!
Karen
Thanks Folks!
Robin... Sorry, I don't have any experience with that echie!
Lisabeth....great combo!
Pixie... How many lilies do you have again? they're all great.
