Garden Photo's 42 & 1/10th

OK - New thread that has been spell checked (I hope!). And a special shout out to all those would be English teachers that reminded me of my typo :)

Awwww, I was enjoying the garen! Nice photo! This one is named Cajun Heritage--gifted to me @ a year ago by Belinda, whose handle is cajunkisses. Don't think she is a DG member...yet....

no mas!

Okay, Bill - thanks. Now, to continue the English lesson - it should be 'photos'!! ^_^

hey, blame google spell check for that one!

Hee hee - no excuses!

no mas! no mas!

I lo-o-o-ove the poppy! The rose smells nice too! Really! Are you getting this storm up there Celeste?











Hawiian Pearl

No storm yet...sunny and 69 right now. That Hawiian Pearl is gorgeous!


'Red Rum' started blooming around the 1st week in July and has been blooming right along. Can't even call it a re-bloomer as it never stopped!

another poppy.

NICE!
Hey Phoebe what is that purple one in post 7051425?

Um jen, look just above the picture.

Jen--That is Hawiian Pearl--An African violet. It is a trailer--this one is still a baby--and the color is slightly off--it's more purple than depicted

Pixie is sooooo pretty! I think I like poppys--LOL. Have never grown them though. Jen--a closer look at the flowers--pics don't do them justice--at least not with me and my little camera. I was right--I want a better camera already! Still have so much to learn first though.

Gorgeous blooms, ladies!

Love that deep dark purple!

Me too.

Still luving this thread(s). Thanks for posting. Pixie are you perchance collecting seed from your lavender-pink-later lupine (hint, hint)? As usual, googleguy is being a weiner brain and comes up with nada about later lupines sigh. Dmail coming your way.

A house nearby with a gorgeous crape. Look forward to seeing it each year.

Is that the crepe myrtle's natural form Victor or do you have to prune it to look like that? (Of course I need to know this cuz I SO can have one in my zone) Really, truly I wonder if it would grow in AZ or NM? Poppin off to the southern forums. Back in a blink.

Probably trimmed some suckers and bottom side-shoots.

Puff, puff back from the south. It does! It does! Just entered this beauty in the Great Book of lists. Thanks Victor.

I love the look of African violets but don't have a place for them in the house.

That is some crape!

What great photos---love the lespedza---must attract butterflies like the butterfly bush this time of year----and Pixie, you have more DLs blooming! I only have one with a bud or 2---must order more late ones from Olallie. The rain has beaten down everything out there today.

Victor, love that gorgeous crape. I planted one in your honor after seeing the photo's of the ones along your drive. I bought a Lagerstroemia indica 'White Chocolate' from Fairweather in the spring of 2008. It appeared dead this spring, but I left it in place and did a little happy dance around it and it now has all kinds of new growth around its base. I just hope it was growing on its on root stock. I will hopefully see it bloom next year.

Now if I could just grow a poppy.

Here is Hydrangea Penny Mac that seems to have gotten a late start, but one site said it bloomed into the fall. Nice color and size. The bee is happy. Me too. Patti

Good to hear. That's one that has not grown much for me but it definitely gets way too much shade. I have to move it.

The lespedza and the crepe--gorgeous! The hydrange looks so soft and cuddly!

Ahem!....How come no one noticed Victor misspelled "crepe"? Wha--where are you--it's payback time already! LOL

That's because Victor has a crap myrtle. Different tree.

Not misspelled! Alternate, acceptable spelling. 'Crepe' is more common in the South. So there! ^_^

Ok y'all.

thanks for the thought there almost had them

Celeste, I love the Red Rum!

But--but--but--we live in the North! http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/CrapeMyrtles.htm
