Garden Photo's 09 - # 41
Its a hoot.
Somehow I like it in with the artsy-fartsy sculptures.
SIL gave it to DD for crismas.
We had a tree taken down and I didnt want to just perch a pot on the spot.
i will have to try pinching the balloon flowers next year - mine are 4 ft tall and fall if not staked, even if they are staked they have pulled the stake out of the ground - i'm also finding little voluteer's everywhere from them.
like that xenox sedum joann have some here too
No stalking on the BF's, they started blooming the end of July and are still blooming. This bed is in morning sunlight until 10-11am then dabbled sun the rest of the afternoon .
how tall are yours?
Maybe 18" at the most.
Hibiscus putting on a grand finale.
Here is first belle blooming again.
Just posted this ,its not a flower but the birds love it.
My basalt column water feature
That belle is beautifu
Thank you I love it.
I need a water feature.
Very nice. Still looking forward to doing my fountain one day.
my BF's are 3 - 4 feet tall as well... and floppy suckers they are... the astra blue, mother of pearl and double astra white are all shorter and good on there own... those monsters of mine which I have no clue which ones they are... FLOP
Planted about 6 packets of cosmos, including Double Click---this is the only bloom I've found----
My first elephant ears...
And John Davis blooming again, but mostly on my neighbor's side of the fence....
sorry to hear about the cosmos...that John Davis is beautiful
Here is the entire plant of first belle and a few other plants
very pretty!!
Bill, I think I like that Sunshine Blue caryopteris best, though I like all of them. That's a real stunner!
Jo Anne, you have some nice stuff going on in your gardens. I like your collages. Your agastache 'Apache Sunset' is especially nice.
Victor, I love your dragonfly shots, especially the one with the out-of-focus ligularia flowers in the bg. Victor, that's too bad you have such bad reactions to the skeeter bites. They bite me, and itch for a bit, but then the itching goes away shortly. My friend Karen has a terrible time with bug bites of any kind. She has very sensitive skin anyhow, and gets rashes really easily. She can't use rubber or nitrile or plastic gloves of any kind, as her hands will sweat really badly, and she'll get a rash.
Hey, are hostas related to that plantain weed? I know they are called plantain lilies.
Celeste, nice pics, as usual. I have that Jolly Bee geranium, too, and mine keeps on blooming. It's not fragrant, though, like they advertise it to be. I love your gorgeous hibiscus, too!
Marilyn, your phlox and Olallie DL are very pretty. So is the salvia. I planted a lot of cosmos seeds, too, and rabbits ate most of the seedlings before they even had a chance to get any size at all. Very disappointing. That John Davis rose is very pretty.
Allison, that natural bug repellent sounds good. I might try it.
Pensecola, First Belle is pretty. Is that a brugmansia?
Karen
Yes it is a Brugmansia one of my favorites here is another one this one is called salmon perfection it hasnt bloomed yet so I will bring it indoors in the Winter.
Love the caryopteris, dragonfly and the phlox.
This is our perennial sunflower lemon queen, planted this year.
The annual sunflowers
Dahlietta, one of the last blooms
Unknown citrus that our 10 year old grew off the seed, has humongous thorns
Picture does not do justice to this cosmos, much darker in person
Very pretty anyway.
Benjamin Britten rose
Thanks Jumper.
nice stuff Peoniae
Thanks Onewish. I am finally catching up with posting pictures.
Rama
always good!
too god not to picture.
This little chickadee house is six feet up the tree.
Nice photos---that MG rocks, Jo Ann. Pensacola---will the brug bloom indoors for you? Peoniae, love the color of your rose.
Peoniea, I like the Benjamin Britten rose. That's a nice one.
Here are some pics of my coleus planters and close-ups of the coleus taken on Aug. 25th.
