2010 Garden Photos - Part 5

I am trying again this year... with some of my seedlings (that never took off last year) & 2 from Michele... worth a shot ... and I took cuttings of my scented geraniums ... was going to take new cuttings of the leggy things... BUT I didn't do it yet... slackin off this year

I think this is Scilla?

nice Ronnie!!

Thank Allison, glad I can finally get some photos taken with my crazy life right now!

yes the backyard stroll with the camera is very soothing when life is nuts

Don't you just love the various shades of blues in scilla?

yes.. now if they can just make them bigger!!!

I do like that they spread.....and don't seem to mind if the critters just drop them. I have a few in the middle of the lawn now, along with a crocus or 2 and a few glory of the snow's too. lol

I want to plant more in the front lawn this fall... was neat to see when they were popping up all over

I hope to have an entire lawn of spring crocus's some day. ^_^

Love scillias we have a thin population.

I have been up since 5, amazing how much you can get done in three hours!

I got up at 7:15. Hee hee.

I hope to have the same Celeste.. would be too cool

Hey Sleepyhead, I started a new forum but was hoping you might know the answer Victor....
my Fritillaria Persica has never bloomed! I moved the bulbs three years ago to a sunny, very well drained spot and have had nothing but foliage. Ever increasing numbers of plants just producing very healthy looking foliage....
sos!

Sorry, Abby, but I only tried them once and they died. Maybe someone else can answer.

My one plant has no blooms either.

V. judii fully opened now - and smelling heavenly!

And now Mohawk as well.

Sumac Tiger Eyes.

Last year's bed extension, with the new groundcover golden spirea in front. I will be adding more to this bed, including a trellis and clems.

Green Filigree.

Koto no ito.

Closer.

Bonfire in front of Tamuke yama, with Fothergilla.

Autumn Moon.

Last - another great fragrant viburnum - Compactum.

very nice victor!

a few primrose

another

and a yellow one

pjm azalea

mr. egolf is very close

noticed a red squirrel in our large eastern redbud eating the flower buds - if that continues it could have a dramatic affect on its life expectancy.

Victor, I agree with Wha, nice new bed. I am starting to plant one today, but not fit yet for sharing. Here are a few primula out yesterday. Too much to do to post much. Taking a sneak break. Me bad.

Wha, I would say that fuzzy tailed rat is history if I were a betting person. Patti

Thanks.

Nice shots, Bill. Purple theme going on!

Nice, Patti.

Nice Victor.
Bill, I like that yellow primrose. Want to borrow Wall-e? he'll take care of that squirrel for ya.

Great shots of bed extension, flowers, shrubs and trees everyone. So pretty.

Nice shots everyone.
Things are popping here
The raided bed in the background is my neighbors sad Black Raspberry weed patch.
I pretend it isnt there.
