Countdown to spring! One garden photo per day - Part 4

here is Chamaecyparis pisifera boulevard and some rodies

Nice butterfly catch pirl!
Love the blue on that iris ngam!
Very interesting Geum triflorum!

May 22nd: Foxglove

Here's that azalea I'm still looking for an id for. Blooms on and off all spring, summer and into fall.

That's a really nice azalea!

That was I think my one only impulse plant buy at HD. I usually have to have a plan where I'm putting something but when I saw it I just had to have it. It was in a container all summer till I figured out where I was planting it.

Beautiful, Jen.

beautiful Jen!

Great shots! Love them all.

Here's a JM seedling.

nice!

Thanks. Don't even remember where it is!

You're too young to be forgetting already, Victor. It's lovely.

You know you have too many Japanese maples when............

You know when you have more than Victor or Wha....not even close, nor ever will.

Victor, Nice shot for your neglected child. Patti

Thanks! I know it's somewhere in my garden!

70 more days!

how can you not know where it is? bad gardener!

especially a jm

I have a few very nice seedlings around the garden. No clues in the pic.

Wonderful shot Victor. ngam, love that Honky Tonk Blues. That's going on my 'must get' list. Same with Patti's geum. Bill, your row of rhodies is breathtaking. Yummmmmm

Jen, can you grow camelias down there? That azalea looks a little like one.

crabapple blossoms

Camelias I thought were hardy to zone 7, I'll have to check into that.

Yes - usually 7.

You must be borderline 7 at least. Is it in a protected area?

I'm sure Jen could sneak it in.

I think I'm actually in a colder micro climate.

More wonderful shots. I have been seeing a lot about that fuzzy geum lately, might have to look into it. Foxgloves are one of my fav. plants. Anything that plants itself and looks gorgeous is a winner for sure and the nice colors are a bonus. Rhodies and azaleas(?) mean it is warm and time for really getting digging in the garden, can't wait. More great color from a JM and I hope you locate it so more pics this fall. Crabapple trees make me think of being a kid and climbing on the neighbors trees. Beautiful all.
With the temp in the single digits I need a sunny pic today that feels like early summer. A noid lily bloom with a friend.

Temp is 7° at the moment--do we ever need flower pictures!

Great shot, Pat!!

Love the color echoes, Pat.

Speaking of spring blooms....very nice article of the day on Hellebore, Victor! I learned a couple of things, propagation, and...that you are more fertile than most. LOL!

Waaaaaait for it - !!
I dread to see his reply

Hee hee - thanks! And I use no protection...I didn't know it was repeated.

Here is a JI from June.

You're behaving! What went wrong?

Lovely JI, Victor.

I just got back from church! Which one is it, Pirl??

Lots of blooms there Harper, a lovely herald of spring!
Nice shot ngam! Looks like your friend is coming out to have his pic taken!
Beautiful Iris Victor!

May 20th 2009: Achillea 'Citronella' (¼" blooms)

Evidently Victor was successful in dodging the lightning that struck as he entered the church...the effects reached clear across the country and fast forwarded us in to Spring:

Pretty shot, WC! Any fragrance?

Hee hee, JD! Nice colors. I should have started a new thread. I'll wait for a lull.

None whatsoever that I can determine, don't know why they would call it 'Citronella', it attracts a multitude of very tiny flying insects, I guess they smell sugar!

That's what I was wondering - where the name came from.

Glad to see spring is still spronging ^_^ Honeysuckle which is always beefull.
