Very nice Allison, are they still blooming??
DL "British Morning"
Countdown to spring! One garden photo per day - Part 7
Allison!! is that the height? or do they gat taller?
they were a few weeks ago.. I cut the spent ones off now... but they are still alive
taller.. the normal 2 foot... that photo was when I bought them in spring last year.. but I know in the past I lost so many AGs... figured it was worth a shot bringing them in... they were already potted up

It says there are hardy to z5 but they don't last thru the winter for you? Wonder why?
Beautiful lily Luvs. I miss their fragrance in the air.
JoAnn another really nice combo of plants.
Keeping their feet dry is the biggest thing with those western agastache I think. They sure are pretty.
Pixie that DL is really bright and sunny just like a sunrise. Don't think we will see one today so very nice choice of pic to share.
I did plant one out last spring in the garden Pixie.. will have to wait & see what happens.. the ones I planted in fall in the past didn't make it.. even though they call me zone 6.. I swear I push 5.. esp last year
ngam is right they like it a it dry.
I hear you on the zone, they say we are a 5a but we border on 4b some winters.
Pat I was thinking british morning's are rainy more often than not so this one would be appropriate but i like your thinking better!!!
Another MG (i didn't post yesterday Victor^_^)
Nice blue color. Gorgeous MG.
Here is a lily, not sure but I think it is 'Conca d' Or'. Anyone know for sure?
Not positive but it sure is pretty! Wish I could smell it. ^_^
Looks like mine.Its anyones guess.
Thanks, yes it is a stinker. Can't wait to get those new ones from Faraway. I think I have had spring fever since the first snowflake fell. This thread helps a lot.
It does look like Conca d'Or. I agree with you, Pat, and also can't wait for my order from Faraway Flowers. The bulbs are so big and healthy and Ramona is such a nice person and so helpful.

Here's part of the kitchen hosta garden in the rain.
Beautiful. I like all the textures and shades of color. Very serene.
great shot pirl
joann those will look great outside
celeste like that dl and the mg and the lily pat
does anyone need lambs ears? a load of dirt i have delivered a few years ago was full of le seeds. have to thin out this batch all the time
Lovely shades of green!
Nice bonus Bill. They certainly look very happy there. I have a patch of my own, they don't flower but still spread out in an effort to take over the world. I love the soft leaves and silver green color on them, have to pat them when you walk by.
Nice agastache, Allison. Love the smell of them and they are so easy.
Nice assortment, Jo. (See - you ran out of plants by not following the rules! ^_^)
Beautiful DL, Celeste. Great shades.
Nice backlighting on that lily, Pat.
Great foliage combo, Pirl.
Nice wide shot, Bill.
I'll stick with another combo.
i have another batch pat that i bought!! that doesn't flower either - it is a dry area so i've always thought that was the reason
There are some that do not bloom and some that bloom very occasionally. Mine is 'Helen von Stein' and has never bloomed in the eight or so years here. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/38357/
Great shots everyone, nice combo Victor!
I'm going with a red hydrangea today, (to warm me up because it's so cold outside! lol!)
my purchased bunch bloomed only the first year - thought they would when i dug up the whole bed and amended the soil and cut out all the tree roots from the first few feet of soil - nada
nice wc - do you do anything to the soil to keep them red?
Lovely pink combo Victor. The different flower shapes really look good together.
WC that is beautiful. Wonderful lighting as usual and what color, very nice.
Thanks. Great lighting and great shade, WC. My combo actually looks like a closer 'match' in person.
we inherited Lambsears that have grown into the lawn over the black plastic landscapers edging. Its in DD's garden so I cant do anything about it. She even leaves the blossoms. Yes she knows better.
they can be aggressive - i yank a lot of them out and find babies all over the yard that get weeded out. they do have some impressive root systems
Thanks everyone, no I haven't done anything to the soil wha, I bought them a few years ago I think maybe the shade has something to do with it and maybe the tree that is under (Juniper), guess it must be getting the right ph in the rain, maybe...
Pretty colors in the combo shot. Love the red Hydrangia!
Petunias are one of my favorites
Me too, love that red hydrangea.
Love the new plants, JoAnn
Victor, nice pink combo
That is a pretty petunia.
Raining, January thaw and will put on poncho and freeze my whatsis to see what is going on in the garden. Can see iris reticulata tips from the porch but I don't know if they will bloom again., tried them once and they went to leaves, this batch bloomed last year and the year before so may bloom again. No sign of species tulips, must check the snow drops!
Speaking of hydranges. I have Pinky Winky and want to know if anyone has it ?Do you trim it?
i have it and have not trimmed it yet - two years in the ground
I sure am going to miss my pear tree. Looked so pretty in the spring
way too much grass there jen:)
Ya think?
Fantastic picture of the tree. It left?
Beautiful Pear tree Jen,and your yard is huge...love it!
