Keep those beauties coming.

New Dawn covering arbor.

Waterlily.

Pure Poetry.

Your flowers are just wonderful.

Tulip tree.

Whoa! Pure Poetry is gorgeous!

Thanks, Jo!

Euphorbia - forgot which.

Lavender.

Thanks!

Last for now - Silmakivi through Coppertina.

Good stuff Victor. That PP is so intense I think some shades are needed. Love that coppertina and clem pic.

Lucy, I've seen brown spots here and there on my iris leaves. Not a lot. Are those signs of borers? I've been wanting to just remove any leaves that don't look right. I have seen a few with obvious signs of borers in them. I just remove most of the leaf below that area.

Venu, that rambler rose is beautiful!

Nice poppy pics, JoAnn. I like the third one best.

Yes, Marilyn, the buds blacken and pretty much just rot. Almost every scape (I don't know if that's what they're called on TBI's) gets at least one or more buds that it happens to. Lucy, maybe you know the answer to this?

Victor, the waterlily and Pure Poetry rose are wonderful. Love the euphorbia, too.

Some pics from today. First the old pass a long peony are all opening up and with the warm temps are almost overpowering with their perfume.

Penstamon 'Prairie Dusk' I think.

good old 'Betty Corning' clematis starting to open too.

and it's neighbor clematis 'Venosa Violacea'.

What a glorious weekend! Just planted a new border. Amazing how fast it fills up. I'm ready for another!

more beauties

Tasha Tudor said it take 12 years to really establish a garden. This is my fifth. Can't wait for the next 7!

I wish for more iris!

Pretty photos, folks....don't you just love this time of year?

I need a macro lens. Any suggestions (for a Nikon D2H)

This poppy blows me away. It just doesn't look real!

this one is not too shabby either

Cheddar's Charm Peony

great!

Henrii Clem, which is growing over a stone wall intertwined with the Iceberg rose. Easy, carefree and consistent.

last one, I have to get to the market and buy groceries for dinner...time flies when you're in the garden. Have a great long weekend! Thank a vet!

Beauties, Abby!

Victor, is that New Dawn arbor the same one that had the hops growing on it a few years back? I neeeeeeeeeeed an arbor. Wonderful. Love that shot of Silmakivi through Coppertina.

abbyday, great collection of shots, especially Henrii Clematis.

I have a herd of new kids to post, but I want to get them labeled first. Here is a long shot. Patti

Yes - good memory, Patti! Wonderful shot - nice perspective.

Victor, I think I heard you swearing all the way from NY to Nantucket when you had to dig it out. I was at that time contimplating hops and was easily convinced by your posts that, though it is pretty and a fast grower, planting it would be a nightmare. I sincerely thank you for the warning. Endless stream area on west side of the house. Patti

Yes, I'm sure you did! I could not believe the size of the root mass I dug out. Surprised I did not get a hernia.

Such a peaceful spot, Patti.

Been on the ISM iris tour all day. Napped a bit after supper. Re buds turning black--sounds like blasted buds from cold damage. Iris flowers grow on stalks.

that does look peaceful patti

nice shots everyone

better shot of Manhattan

rose gets darker with age

not sure why but this spot... all plants I put in.. died.. FINALLY I got something to grow there!!!!

Wow - Manhattan is a beauty!

Jinxed pot?

Rouge Cardinal.
