Garden Photos '09.....#39
Its been so hot and raining mornings. This Dahlias are all thats new.
These are from Biltmore collection Appleblossom
Those are lovely, JoAnn.
Very pretty Jo Ann!
Luvly!
Very nice! Several different BES opened from the wildflower mix---here's one...
An Olallie, don't know which one----
And a noid Oriental that the beetles didn't totally decimate...
Very pretty.
My dahlia(first time with them) is about 3' tall and no signs of a flower bud, planted in a container in June, was that too late? or are there later blooming ones?
Thanks, Dyane. Nice hibiscus. Which is it?
Great dahlia shots, Jo Anne.
Nice colors, Robin.
Here is Fantasia.
Kopper King.
Closer.
Heliopsis.
Last - Viburnum nudum.
White Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susans
Another view
Dyane.... has that Coreopsis 'copper penny' proven to be a perennial for you? It's a great color! Same with Echie 'Coral Reef!'
Pixie.... Ohhh Holy Cow! That's an amazing amount of lilies! I'm so envious! I would love to be your neighbor too!
Jo Ann... that second Dahlia that you posted, Appleblossom, is fantastic!!! I love all the colors in it.
Robin... very pretty!
Victor....of course that's a beautiful hibiscus.
Dragonfly.... what lovely views those are!
Ngam....In the prior thread you had mentioned how much some cats look like the king of the jungle. Well this isn't quite the pose the I call Precious's 'Pharoah pose', but it's as close as I've been able to get a picture of since she tries to run away from the camera most of the time.
Hi RC
Great cat pic.
Thanks fro the compliments everyone. The dahlia pix are all on the same plant (how do they do that ?)
The garden is winding down and I'm getting ready to put lily and tulip bulbs in a few weeks October.
Too rainy and humid to work.
Grandson dug out the boreing hosta so now I have room for lilies.
Just planted about 60 daylilies in this garden and another.
November brings 2 yards of compost which will go everywhere.
Just came in from photo shoot. Guess there was more new shots than I thought.
This is the dahlia with bicolor and pink ,same plant
I really love this Coriopsis with Royal Purple sedum
.these dahls are from a carribean collection, not very impressive as far as color goes.
But the big purple mother-hunker is astounding
Probably shouls post on Longviews but here goes.
The DL garden with sculpture , plants will shrink from now on.
How about that mother-hunker dahlia in the background?

Nice pics, everyone! Your gardens are looking great, Jo Anne! Shelly, Precious is beautiful. Nice shot of her.
Karen
hi Karen and good morning
Shelly,
Precious does look regal in that pose. Great shot.
I finally got an ID on a great DL I received by mistake. I like it better than the one I ordered :)
This is 'Lexington Avenue'
I love it when things turn out like that
Love that one Dyane, isn't it nice when we don't get what we want but get something better!
A very happy accident!
Wow - cool kitty shot, Shelly.
Nice series, Jo Ann.
Nice color on Lex, Dyane.
Only one today - sedum.
Sorry - one other. A different view of Peppermint Schnapps.
Very Georgia O'Keefe, Victor! Jo Ann---great purple dahlia, the collection was worth it for that one. Shelley---Precious is very regal---she knows it! Jen---lots of dahlias are late---there's hope yet. Dyane, really want that DL---love the purple. Bev, nice photos---I like the combo of daisies. No photos here today---busy with company & then it rained---again.
Thanks, Robin.
Jen - this is my first time planting dahlias too, also planted late June. They're about 4-5 feet tall now and just won't stop blooming.
Here's a white one. Measures 8" across.
Here's a group shot.
These hibiscus can't make-up their minds. Sometimes they're white, next thing you know they're pink.
Salvia - 2nd flush of blooms.
Lemon Wave hydrangea again
Gladiolus starting to bud.
