Countdown to spring! One Photo per Day Part 11

Hi Karen Its 3.?

No it is 'Summertime Blues' JoAnn. It is very similar I think, not quite as purple.
Karen that is a beauty, nice bright in your face color. I love that.

Its a campanula tho?

Thanks karen, love your Ed Marshall, that's one thing I really want to do this year is get some more lilies, they sure brighten up things!

Karen, I don't know the name of the peach dahlias, (wish I did). I was able to get the proprietor of a large greenhouse which I frequent here to sell me a dozen of them while they were still in those small little greenhouse training pots, ( before he put them up for sale to the gen public), so I took them w/o asking too many questions, (he's a busy guy lol!). That way he'd look favorably next time and maybe I could ask him for another exclusive next time I needed one! hee hee!

(Same peachy ones, taken w/cokin light diffusion filter to give it a dreamy look)

- I haven't posted any for awhile so I hope Victor will extend me a credit on my 1/ day limit! (lol!!)

Oh yes a campanula, it is not supposed to spread like some of the others do. So far so good.

Great I'm there

Thanks Pat and WC.

WC, that peachy dahlia sure is a pretty one. Here is the 'Peaches And Cream' dahlia: http://www.learn2grow.com/plants/dahlia-peaches-and-cream-images-large-96800/

JoAnn, I'm thinking we probably both have the same version of Firefox. I've never had a problem.

Karen

It may be there are too many users at that time of day.

We seem to have trouble at some times of the day no matter what browser I use. We never had a computer until I was over seventy so I assumed it might be my clash with technology. So I got Opera and Google Chrome on the darn thing and none of them will work at some times of the day. I told Herself maybe all the kids get home from school and get on their computers, I really haven't a clue but you should hear her language when she gets frustrated with the computer. Whew!!!--------------------------------------Weedy

Tomorrow is March! But it certainly does not feel like it's only days, or even weeks, away from spring cleanup and planting.

Karen, that's all she wrote on my DL collection(lots of clumps but not many different varieties(yet), we haven't been in this house very long.
Asiatics

I'm sure you'll get more DL's, Jen. Like potato chips, you can't have just one. Nice Asiatics. I like the orientals a lot, more than the Asiatics, though both are nice.

Karen

I planted orientals last fall, so we'll see how they come out this year, I can't wait.

Oh, you'll be really happy with them. Most are very fragrant.

Karen

Very nice dl, dahlia and lilies!

Yes, nice to see so much color on another white day.

I agree, orientals are beautiful......too many in a room is not though! LOL

I have both and like the Asiatics for tight spaces and hot color.

one of my containers

So nice Allison.What is the yellow one?

my guess would be Calibrachoa 'Superbells Tequila Sunrise' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/130537/

Calibricoas Yes now I remember.

I tried growing them from cuttings last year.. no luck.. but supposed to be good plants for that

I had yellow ones that did really well in a planter but other colors reds, didnt ring my chimes

Nice containers ladies, it's almost time for them again!!

Delphs

Dont I wish!!.There is hope out there.
One week of clouds and snow then Next week temps in the 40's and rain will melt this stuff.

very nice

Nice combo, Allison. I really like callibrachoa - better than petunias.

Great blue, Celeste.

Skipper on Ellen's Blue. The gold stripe on his back matches the interior!

nice deph's celeste - noticed a few had germinated last night here - nice million bells allison/joann, have not had good results with them here

Everything is so light and pretty this morning.

Love those lilies Jen. I am so looking forward to them all again even if it means the battle with the RLL beetles.
Nice pots onewish and JoAnn. It won't be too long now I hope. We have banished Feb. for another year (YEAH!) so we are on the last leg of the trek to spring.
Love those delphs, they really are the royalty of the garden and yours are lovely pixie.
Nice shot of skipper on BB Victor. The big eyes they have give them a personality all their own.
Bill nice cheerful heliopsis. At least I think that is what it is. They are good long blooming tough plants.
Here is mine for today, a shot of 'Pinky Winky' paniculata hydrangea before it starts the pinky part.

Ellen's Blue is lovely and so is skipper!
Bill you got Delphs to germiate?? Congrats...they have not alwyas been easy for me! Nice yellow by the way...cheery!

Pat I love the purple and pinks tones surrounding Pinky!

I need help. I have no idea, but I know I will be super embarrassed when told, what this pink thing is in my garden. It blooms in the third week in July every year. It is pretty tall, 36" at least and hasn't spread. Thanks. Patti

thx celeste - a bunch of foxglove, and some gold rush daisy, hope they are true to the parent - now if the eggplant would start.......

Liatris?

beat me to it!

Nice shot of Pinky, Pat. Hopefully mine will be big enough this year to be noticeable. Nice group shot, Patti.

Looks like liatris or stachys hummelo. Can't see the foliage well enough. What ever it is it is very pretty.

Breaking the rules. I blow it up. I don't think it is liatris, but I am off to check that out. I grow that and mine are different, but could be one I don't know. Patti

Ohhh patti your collage is wonderful
