Countdown to spring! One garden photo per day(sort of)Part 9

I do for my lilies & some of the iris when they get loaded up and it's going to rain

TBI's are the worst for flopping.

it's ok with me... I just deal with it

Some real beauties I see again. Can't wait to see my VV this year Victor, that pic is really nice. Hope the slugs have been taken care of near the clems with all the smushing I did last year.
Candyce I love those nice deep colored DLs and yours is no exception. Pretty.
Deb tulips are just pure spring and that group is really pretty, nice lighting too.
JoAnn's salmon colored snapper would look lovely with the gorgeous lupin from onewish. Love those two colors together.
Here is a new plant from last year I hope will return this spring. Polemonium 'Stairway to Heaven'.

Love the varigated leaves!!

'Bold Spirit'

Another pretty DL pixie. Nice contrast in color tone with the dark eye. I have to say I am really getting spring fever now. Good thing we can share all these blooms and memories to keep us going until we can see the real things again.

Wow, some stunning shots, especially those tulips, debilu
ngam, Love the look of Stairways to Heaven. I will have to look for that one.

Here is one that I think I lost last year. I will replant it this spring if the Garden in the Woods has it at their farm.

Very cool plant. What is it? Hope you can replace it or maybe it will return on it's own.

duh, forgot to post it, sorry. Patti

Geum triflorum

Thanks,that is what I was thinking it might be, the fuzzy geum. It is on my one of these days list with a lot of others.

Neat plant Patti!

Great DL Pixi
Patti that is a really great plant.

One of these days, my day lily friends, you have got to come visit me in mid-July so that we can all take the short jaunt over to Davis Brook, where they grow such beautiful and HEALTHY lilies!

Ruffled Apricot

Lovely Jen!!

woah beautiful

'Peach-y' keen!

very pretty

Jo's and Allison's go well together!

Great DL's, ladies.

Bad hair day for them, Patti?!! Very cool.

Silmakivi growing through Summer Wine.

That is amazing Victor.

Thanks, Jo. I like the combo. The foliage of Summer Wine and Coppertina is fantastic. Lots of subtle tones in it.

Sorry to seem so dense but what is summer wine?I like the leaf.

Physocarpus (Ninebark).

I'll check it out.

very pretty Victor

gallery blue

Yes
Goodmorning, Allison, I have that one .I was going to name it but wasnt sure.

good morning!... I hope that one spreads

Me too.
My cousin sent me some seeds to sow with my GC plants,they are the blue ones from Maine.They are wild there so I might not get any germination but what the heck.

here's todays pic

Ge, you should get some germination. The lupines here on the side of the road are not tended to, they bloom turn to seed, drop and grow again.

nice mix JoAnn.. I left all the seed pods on both of mine this year.. nice part is the leaves are easy to pick out when they are babies.. won't pull those as weeds.. for some reason the snapdragons and strawflowers are easy to spot as well

Thanks Pixi I need a plant that can take abuse.
Allison thanks,that combo is along the deck walk.

I have been trying for years to grow lupines. Tried a new spot last summer, fingers crossed. I so adore them. I know they can grow on Nantucket.

Victor, Bad hair day indeed for them. I planted them in too moist a spot.

Ge1836 that is a great combo. Astilbe are always a favorite.

By the way WHO DAT? I am thrilled. I went to a Saints game last year in NOLA, but I can't find a black and gold plant to post. So here is a what may be the original fleurs-de-lis flowers which I have been trying to indicant from our garden, Iris pseudacorus even though it is pretty. Patti

Yellow iris running a muck? Patti?

all pretty Patti!!!

johnson's blue geranium

I am going to say it again.. I need some HG... very pretty Bill

You got that right Ge1836. Pretty, but aggressive even in dry soil. I have been digging out wheel barrels of it. Yes, Plural. I will get most of the rest of it out this year, I hope. I started with one little clump which was fine for years, but then I moved a bit of it around to fill in a few holes and that was the cause of the explosion.

I love all my hardy Geraniums. The blues are hard to keep straight, but all pretty. Patti

Guess thats one to avoid.I'll find yellow in another plant.
