Thanks Allison! I have purple verbascum planted in with this and you wouldn't believe the combo it makes! I searched for the pic, but I think it's one that got wiped out.

bummer!
HEY I just realized the coleus with the red lily are Dexter(most visible) and Fiesta
Starting off the day with some very pretty shots again, very nice everyone. Here is one thing I always look forward to in the spring even though it is very common. Creeping phlox. Nice patches of color floating over the soil just when we really need it.
Me too, love creeping phlox, each time I see a new color I don't have I buy it. I'm in the process of covering a slope, about a quarter of the way covered now. It's a slow process. LOL

Frosty morning but the sun is shining. Temp 29 and wind is very light from the west. Should hit mid 40s for a high.
LOL wrong thread, no coffee yet.

That thing is loaded with blooms!!! Beautiful.
i think i gave you one right?
Yes,and I can't wait!!
Beautiful wiggly, as my granddaughter calls it, Bill.
Jo, your beds are really filling in! Lovely pic.
Love that iris, Allison.
Salmon Star is one of my favorite lilies, Pixie.
Beautiful creeping phlox. Yes, it is a wonderful color right when we need it.
Another morning of wonderful photos.
Pixie - I love Salmon Star as well and have a lot of it from Dutch Gardens. It's such a soft and yummy color.
Here's another one of ours - Enon x Becky Lynn, looking exactly like Enon (happily). And, yes, Celeste, that is Pandora's Box to the left! I agree with you, Celeste, that the creeping phlox is a beauty and we have so much of it started years ago from tiny plugs.
Enon is one of my favs! Look at how bright that DL is stunning!!
Mine, too, Celeste! If I had to dwindle down to just 10 daylilies it would be in the top three.
Now I'm on my way to the garden to work! It's 40 degrees and I'll enjoy every minute of it.
All very nice!
Blue Chiffon hibiscus.
39° sunny. temp is supposed to go down day by day, but its nice not to have to walk on ice on the walk to the driveway.
That weigela is just loaded, gorgeous Bill.
That is a beautiful DL Pirl. I also love those rich colors.
Hibiscus is very nice Victor. I used to have one years ago, but Bambi liked it as much as I did. Soon the constant nibbling did it in. That was before I encouraged them to make their path else where but too late for my pretty shrub. :(
Lovely pics all!
- beautiful Salmon Star Pixe!
... Starburst
Whatb a great lily,how did I miss it
Don't think I ever posted the cherry blossoms
nice jen
Wow! What a stunning combo Victor's Hibiscus and WC's lily would make! All gorgeous photos.
Pat - how did you convince Bambi and friends to detour? They've been stripping a branch of my favorite rose. I hope they get prickles in their gums and intestines!
Deer Vick. A kind of sticky garlic paste that I got online and dab on bamboo stakes around plants they like, chasing them and trying to plant mostly things they do not like. Took several years to get them on a different glide path. They are habitual creatures so as the older ones died off the new ones had a different travel route. Early spring is the most dangerous time here for tasty new shrub shoots.
Ohhh yes and they get used to one repelent after another.I switched to Repelzal after they art my Liquid Fence sprayed DL's and phlox.
I'm willing to try anything. While I was out gardening today I saw they had pooped in almost every garden. It's highly discouraging. Thanks, Pat.
Yes, me too. I might try that. The Liquid Fence was less effective last year.
love that hibiscus Victor!!!
Thanks, Allison. So do I! I have three or four of that one. All the 'chiffons' are very nice.
will have to mark that one down.. I think I might need one!!!
Rats, rats, rats or rather bunnies-------they have pruned my poor holly down to the ground after two years of nursing them along.---the hollys that is. I didn't think they would eat them!!!!-------Weedy
I have a holly they can eat.It will save digging them out in May.
They don't touch our hollies but love the daylilies and lilies...and roses, etc.
