wow, this thread flew.... putting together next year's wish list. Tomorrow I'll go out and take a few pictures with details on what/where, even though it's all pretty green now to introduce my garden to you.
Considering a viola fringe in front of the short lilies. I've been in awe of the clematis - for some reason, I thought they were always a vine, is that true?
2010 Garden Photo's - Part 12
I haven't seen any that aren't vines.
a very yellow bearded iris
and the whole group of them
variegated weigela
wine and roses weigela
tri-colored beech in front of viridis jm
down year here for rodies too - it seems to be an every other year for me - this one is reliable though
and last a bunch on noid sib's - they are much bluer than the image.
That beech is a winner. Tex, some clems are short bushes, but only very few...some are short vines, others quite tall.
Yes, my blue ones have started to bloom also.
Very nice, Bill.
There is a bush type clematis, but most are vines.
Ok, when I'm overwhelmed with a bounty of beautiful blooms I say something that encompasses everyone's pics...but tonight I have to take time
Jo Ann, your lasagna garden has taken on a life of all it's own, what a fantastic transformation. Great job!!
Patti, you are the mistress of bulbs. I imagine when you look out your bedroom window (or any window) that it takes your breath away each and every time!
Wha, isn't wine and roses a beautiful shrub? I have that one and love it. For some reason the weigelias seem to bent almost to the ground with their burden of blooms this year.
WC, I too put the pruning class on the clem tags, funny thing....I don't need any tags to identify the name of the clem. I have them all on the tip of my tongue. I guess clems are my one true love.
For those with clems that can't remember the pruning, give me a minute..I'll be back
Pretty simple. 1 - leave it. 2 - prune back to the first set of new buds. 3 - prune down to a few inches.
Here's what I went to get...like a nursery rhyme
One, for the pruners, means no, nada, none
Two, for the pruners, means only cut some
Three, for the pruners, means lots to be done
Bill, how long have you had the beech and how is it doing? I almost bought one a couple years ago.
Just beautiful Bill!!
Weeze, I like that!!
That beech is very cool! I bought a houseplant/ outdoor annual that has splashes of hot pink like that...I want to use it in some containers.
GE, what a difference a year makes, indeed! That looks wonderful.
Here's a long shot from today. I moved my houseplant Begonia back outside....I love that thing!
Very cool looking beech.
I'll remember that now, Weeze.
deb i have had the beech for 5 or 6 years maybe more - it was pretty tall when i got it at hd no less - i do not have it planted in the best location - full sun all day - so it burns some in the summer - it is supposed to have morning sun afternoon shade - here jm's come first for those conditions:)
Hate to say this, but that beech always reminded me of a burn victim.
then do not say it
Don't take it personally, Bill. I mean all of them - not just yours.

going to be one of those nights... have to go back and fix my first and second posts.. wrong photos
the baskets I made for the moms... for mothers day... I kept hold of them until the weather was safe
Nice. I've been called mother.
wegilia carnival got big this year... is there a way to make them fill out more?
Cut it back after flowering.
sticking my tongue out at Victor :)>
after ok.. thanks... I will make a note of that.. ok another for you and Bill... should I move the golden shadows.. looks like sunburn??? or does it just need more water?
noid from Weeze.... thanks Weeze.. they are beautiful!!!!!
plum quirky... sorry it looked clear on the screen... not really now
Move it. It can't take too much sun. I'm getting that too and need to move mine.
soapwort still going to town... boo on the snow in summer... not doing too well on the slope... very small patch still after 2 years.. so much for invasive
Aside from the brown marks, you can see the yellow bleaching out.
I thought it would only get an hour or so of sun there... what a bummer.. I love where it is
just wanted to show you the resilient snapdragon growing in the crack of my wall block
Then plant something taller to shade it.
