Nice dahlias!
Very nice photos---loved the dahlias! Did OK with my flowers at the fair this year---I was pleasantly surprised!
here is another dahlia for you dnut
here are some close ups of the 4 rudbeckia grown from seed this year
another one
here's the last rudbeckia - unfortunately all of these are flopper's - hoping they come back and stand tall in there second year
Nice Bill, I love Rudbeckia's because they last a nice long time!

angelina sedum - this picture do not do it justice - just a stunning yellow/green that glows
caryopteris
Wow! gorgeous pics!
Beautiful! Can't wait to see mine.....next year. lol
it is not carmen celeste - the foliage on this one in light green and very bright pink blooms - it is named after the bloom color - i will look it up
dark night caryopteris with coppertina in the background
ok found the name - its called hot stuff - probably took them a while to figure out the right name :)
new growth on shirazz
I like that gold sedum.
bonfire
Me too, both sedums are nice.
noid hydrangea
angelina spreads like crazy - if a piece breaks off it just rots itself - if i make the ru this weekend i will bring some pieces that have started on thier own
forgot one - this is an unknown jm that grew out of the root stock after beni kawa it was supposed to be died
this is a close up of the leaves - already has fall colors that i kinda like and it looks like the branches will be the red of beni kawa for the winter!
Congrats RD on the fair. Electric dahlia whanut! What is the stripey rudbeckia in post 7062302 wha? It's very prettiful and I must grow it. I only have one non-floppy rudbeckia. The rest have floppage. I grow them in one of those hoopy plant supports that you can pull up from the ground as the plant comes up. This year I put glads in with one too. I will take a pic when the glads open. http://www.burpee.com/product/gardening+supplies/garden+growing/grow-through+hoop+plant+supports+-+3+pack.do
dnut i will look through my seed packs for you and report in later.
Thanks muchly.
it is called double gold, i got the seeds from seeds of change
oops sorry wha I gave you the wrong post number. The other stripey one in 7062288 please. I didn't know there were striped ones.
I'm jealous of Pixie's butterfly - rarely seem them at my place (though sometimes I see them flying by - hey, what's wrong with my place? there's some lovely flowers down here!).
I bought a toad lily this August and now it is blooming. I didn't appreciate how small the flowers were, but they are just so cool looking.
I finally got a brunnera also. I love the leaves!!
Another cool plant I got for the shade bed I started in May is a low cranberry bush (ok, Lingonberry). Hopefully the critters will like the berries.
I love the crab spider on this flower (lobelia, monet moment I think)
Somehow this sunflower stalk has at least 5 sunflower heads. No wonder it is now laying on the ground!
The other interesting thing is that there are several kinds of sunflowers that popped up in that clump of seeds that were buried and never recovered. This is a little one that you can barely see because it is covered by all the neighboring plants. It is a little guy.
Here's another sunflower, this one with thinner, more sparse petals.
OK, I've bothered you enough with my pictures. Thanks for at least scrolling by them :)
I'm in a good mood because I finally got a job and I start a next Monday. And it is actually a job I want and like...I'm so lucky, and grateful!!
I hope everyone is well!!!
Nice, Evie! I like brunnera and must get some. I have to check my toad lilies!
Nice Evie, I love my brunnera too. Wait until it blooms!!!!!!!!
That's a beautious toad lily Evie. They bloom too late here :( I just got Looking Glass brunnera this year. I hope it keeps it's colour in full shade. Is yours in full shade Evie?
Evie, you can never "bother" us with too many photos
