2010 Garden Photos - Part 8

i will on the projects thread - would have today until a passing down pour ended that idea.

Yes, thanks!

TAAAA DAAAAAAA! ^_^ And they are very stinky too! I am SO putting in another billion in this spot in the fall!

I would like a jackmanii and sweet autumn clem, hinting to my husband with a birthday coming up. He got me a blender last year and a vacuum cleaner the year before. Didnt think he got it.

My fav in the garden today. tulipa saxatilis

Dn thay are beautiful and you call them what?

Tulipa quite nice.

oops. Peoniae perhaps give him a just-because card with a pic of the clemmies in it and an arrow pointing at them with the caption 'Aren't these prettiful?' and their names? I find that also saying 'Alas this spot will never work without a _______ with a big sigh, looking forlorn. (I practise looking forlorn in the mirror). I am a professional hinter ^_^

I actually took him to the local ace store admiring their plants and showing him the clem and said I would be happy to have it. He looked bored.

I apparently mixed the names of Dr. Ruppel and Ruutel

oh sigh that is so prettiful. There is only one that is hardy here and I SHALL have it when we riiiiiip out the driveway. Does your true luv have a passion? Perhaps a negotiation is in order. Also there is the 'free money' budget theory. I luv the 'free money' budget theory. Just mentioning the 'free money' budget theory sometimes works wonders.

OMG!! MY entire house smells like APPLE BLOSSOMS!!!!

nice!!

I miss that smell.

just a couple quick ones - wisteria with pixie in the foreground

speaking of smell you can smell the wisteria anywhere in the yard - never had so many blooms.

azaleas coming out in front of CQ

lots of color here

Bill how do you get your wisteria to bloom? I've had it for 4-5 years and nothing! Yours is BEAUTIFUL and I really like Pixie!

it took several years - go around the tree with a shape spade at the branch ends and cut all the roots - shocks it into blooming the following year - at least that is what i was told a few years ago.

Ok, thanks!

Wisteria is VERY slow to bloom. I love apple blossoms.

Nice, Bill!

Hey Bill what do you know about Dwarf redbuds?

don egolf is the only one i know about joann

Whistle while you work with them, Jo??

Last for now - clem Blue Light, whose name I could not remember yesterday!
