This is in the southeast fence garden where I have planted alot of vines and things to cover the eyesore of the neighbors' yard..it loooks like an i. nil, no tag, dumb me
I really like this one,,

Debra, love both blooms, Blue Ensign and the Tie Dye look alike
or whatever it is.

Debra - Pretty Blue Ensign! I can't get them to grow here at all. Your pink one looks like Hanafubuki: http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/t/beckygardener/10417/ scroll down my photos and you'll see some that look similiar to yours. Very pretty whatever it is!

Becky.. thanks, I am pretty sure these came from Joseph, have to look and see. I save all my seed packets..
here is a few shots of the Pure White that am sure is from Joseph, and I am sure these are from the winter grow out I planted and moved the planter outside this spring..

Here it is at noon.. it is a weird bloom kinda half unfurled, but It may be from the wind knocking it into the honeysuckle stems..

the front little vine curtain is pretty with the lobata..

This cute lil bell mg came from a nice lady here on DG from florida.. I love it..

love the white. didnt grow any lobata this year. usually do. nice pics

a different shot of it.. this I sprinkled all over the fence line out back, and it is coming up everywhere..

Here is another on of those ruffly bluewhite blooms on the south gate.. this picture was at 8 am..

here it is at 2pm..this vine starts in the hanging basket behind the A/C unit on the next to the gutter south side.. it has crawled clear acoss there ( thru the tomatoes and the i batatas) to get to the sun..

jishis' saying hi to the blooming Iochroma in the tomatoe patch..

Here is the outside looking south of my patio north corner..if you got that you get five seeds from your pick of what you see.. LOL

these are at the north corner of my back door.. look at the pods there.. I see some lav moon vine pods.. those are the ramblers up there.. the light pinks are in the middle.. and there is a messina creeper looking all dainty on the inside, Just wait until a month from now when the others start climbing.. we will see who wins the curtain rights next year.. ( I miss my big blue heavenlys this year)

this is taken from the inside of the path looking south over the tomatoe patch.. you can see the different kinds of flowers in that barrell.. and jishis and akatsu no mai are loving all the room.. finally the hummers have found the cardinal flower lobelia Ruby Slippers..

I have four Iochromas, and only two are flushing right now.. this one keeps getting invaded, but that is okay, it is the happiest one of the four and it is in the tomatoe patch...

close up of the lobelia and the liatris going to seed and the jmg vines..

Here is a really good shot of the whole area looking west , taken from inside the garden looking out.. when emmas huge tall cosmos bloom, they will give my kansas native sunflowers a run for their money in height..

This is the second year I have grown impatiens, and these are in spots about the yard that is mostly shaded during the day.. they light up my green

these zinnias are very tall , in planters on the south end of the patio, mixed in with tall cosmos, amarranthus and morning glorys and the effect is dazzling when I sit out there..

here is what is behind me when I sit at my table , and this is the inside of the northend corner of the patio garden..ahhhh.. Kansas..

I had to cut these mgs off the line there.. this is still north of the patio, looking east..the shibouris are on that pole by the lines.. I added some slinkys to the poles and lions mane yarn, to train the vines around them as they give off leaders..I got 8 plastic slinkys to a package for 1.59.. I used my grabbit stick to get them up there.. I knew that would come in handy.. it was my daughters when she was recouperating from her automobile accident.. I use it to grab the vines all over the place that are out of reach to me..as well as the cosmos and chinese bean hiyacynth around the yard.. ( to pluck seeds pods and dead heads for trades)

here is rebecca and company north fence one section..I am wondering what will result of the seeds from the open pollinaton of the two other purps there.. I have been plucking the pinks as soon as I take a picture.. I have too many of those around here

this is at the base of the fence.. Dahlia dark Angel "American Pie" they have grown from itty bitty plants to huge bushes now..I hope everyone elses' are doing the same that I sent out..

Jaimie Lynn is above the shorter bushes on the north fence..west end..

This is on the north fence, in the "pouch planter" I looked and these seeds are from Joseph.. the ones on the pole on the north side of the patio are from Karen ( blue spiral)

Here is karens.. on the north patio pole..this shot was hard to get.. I had to climb up on the patio chair, which is why I added the slinkys to train them downwards where I can see them from standing postion..

I have had to snatch bits and pieces of daylight when I can sneak home to get these shots, before and after work.. I live for sundays, but most of the time, there are just buds on that day.. go figure.. day of rest.. these two little guys came from someone who heard my plea for native morning glorys.. her name is helen.. thanks helen, I love them.. just wish they would climb out of that squirrell netting.. these are about an inch and a half in diameter with a cute little shaped leaf..

These are my new Coneflowers.. coconut lime, the mgs are right above them there.. out front in the south porch garden

These are a new addition to my four o clock collection.. these are very light pale pink with lime green leaves, from Tropicmans' seeds.. Thanks Don! give Patty a hug for me will ya?

This is Roman Candy out front, on the rose bush trellis..

Joeswife I grow impatiens too, they are so easy to cross. Have you heard of the new trailing varieties?
25 years ago I was the custodian of the worlds first double and gave cuttings to as many people as I could.
I still wonder if I played a part in some of the modern varieties.

Jon

at the base of the rose trellis I planted some seeds.. you can see the results.. look at all those types of mgs ..alamo vine is one of them..

Roman candy is just soouoo pink!! I love it!

Jon

Jon, I have always feared growing them, but after gong to buffalo,ny the past five years and seeing my hubbys sisters yard totally done in ribbons of them, I decided to give a basket of them a whirl last year.. they work in the shade here.. but fail in the full sun.. I love them for ground cover when the violets aren't blooming.. I am all about colour and art in gardening.. I bet you are too.. I bet we all are, actually.. I also bet you did have something to do with those new varities..
This is a Zinnia I am in love with this year.. it is so flourescent at dusk.. it is called Tropical Sunrise.. they get long in the floweret and multi coloured as they age.. here is a new bloom..

Well, Jon, I have a zillion seeds from them, can send you some no problem.. here is that zinnia in the long form.. after it ages..

in keeping with the tropical colours I have on the north end of the backyard house corner garden, I have a canna indian shot.. this one was from a little round seed I planted there..

I also added a lobata and a mg pot to that north end of the house garden.. you can see my Golden Eagle Rose has re-awakened.. I thought I had lost it.. I am trying to finish up my august thread so I can start my september thread with the new growouts of the seeds I planted a few weeks ago,, they are going crazy now and expect to see some blooms by the time I get home from Buffalo..

Next to the canna and the lobata on that northend is my "weed Patch" there are salmon 4 o clocks, moon flower, perilla beefsteak, beggars tick.. marigolds and some others .. this is a fantastic site to see at dusk.. the moon flowers and four oclocks are very tall.. the others are under neath those
