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

Another Longwood shot
I think this was Nelly Moser?

Oh my what a nice shot of the HH and hydrangea. Peaches and cream effect. I could go for seeing a few of those soon too.
Pretty clem sure looks like Nelly.

Patti nice combo!!!.. love that one too Jen!

Yes - very nice! I generally do not like hollyhocks, but that is a great shade. Do they flop?

JM Orangeola. This is new growth - in August!

No flopping ever and they have been in that bed for years and years and always return each season, but have not spread. They are a single Alcea ficifolia that rarely gets any rust. I saved seeds and must start some more to share. I killed my seedlings last year, sadly. Patti

Nice. How tall?

Nice bright foliage Victor, very nice for Aug.

Thanks, Pat. It does that all season. It's really a very nice tree.

Very. Do I dare say 10 to 12 feet. I will measure it this year. Patti

Wow!

and they stand on there own?

Not a stake or a friend to lean on, honest. Plus we do get some wind on occasion on Nantucket. Patti

Wow - any seeds?!

I will make sure I still have some. I haven't gotten into my seed box yet this year. Soon. I will let you know. Patti

They look like fig leaf HH. They are also less susceptible to rust.

Striking combo! My HH went to rust last summer, but with so much rain, so did I! The JM is very pretty, Victor---hope I like Purple Ghost.

Ngam, yep, single Alcea ficifolia. Patti

Ya me too. So wet last year we had fungus of all kinds. Never seen it so nasty.

Cool - I like fig leaves. Of course I require a bigger one...

Love that combo Patti
Ugh, Victor

robin purple ghost is supposed to be one of the best of the ghost series of jm trees, amber is the other one. i have them both coming this spring so i hope they live up to their press

Victor!!! Honestly, leaving you alone for a few days only encourages your naughty behavior!

You're checking in on me, Pirl?!

Somebody's got to keep you in line!*********the big fig, lol

Patti I wouldn't mind a few of those seeds in the fall if you remember

Yes, Victor. When you least expect it...like Candid Camera (so wear your XXXL fig leaf at all times).

Uh oh. Actually, with my luck it would be a PI leaf. Ouch!

Some spring blossoms :)

I just LUV this thread for a pick-me-up every day ^_^ venu that spray looks so beautious against the snowful tree. Our furnace is broke and I'm freeeeeezing. Have had to abandon my red satin pjs for flannels. Typifying with glovies sigh so tonight I'm looking to my beluved dahlias to cheer and warm me. This was my fav grouping this summer 'Yvonne' and Taratahi Ruby'
