Last one was getting long, coming from here.... http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1102661/#new

Lets continue to post out beautiful blooms, even if they are droopy Lupines. ^_^

yeah i hate those droppy lupines!

great shots everyone - if you blink you miss this thread.

Love those lupins. Here are a few shots from yesterday and this am.
From the front bed salvia, campanula and the red is sun shinning through a heuch.

Back of the clem wall and new alley garden. The baby clems on this side are starting to climb.

sweet william 'Heart Attack'. I just noticed how lovely a scent this has. It is very red.

Penstemon 'Sweet Jasmine'.

'Crown Princess Margareta'

and weigela 'Ghost'.

Lots of beauties. Love that dark William.

like the ghost - think i said the same thing last year - saw it yesterday although they were sorry looking at the nursery i was visiting.

Love 'Heart Attack'!!

Heart Attack has the votes for today I think.


Celeste, my gosh those lupines are soooo droopy ^_^

Alert, Alert, Lupine envy. I may get one to bloom this year. I am going to seed an area as Celeste suggests and walk away.

I took my DH to the airport and stopped on the way home to get more some white impatience. Planted three six packs right by the front door and that is it for the day. Back to bed, no energy. I have computer work to catch up on, so I will do that while in bed and post some photo's that DH took the last couple of days. I haven't even walked through the garden. I know it misses me. Patti

Feel better, Patti.

I see my baptisia has large seedheads. Anyone ever plant the seeds from it??

Iris in front of house, which is the deer and rabbit garden. Patti

Some blues and whites. Patti

Love the blues & whites, (naturally) but really like "Emily Ann'!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE those front irises.

Love those warm colored iris. Mine seemed to come and go very quickly this year. Hope you feel better and get back your strength.

flowerjen & ngam, Thanks, I am trying to corner the market on deep red and yellow iris. The problem is that so many look just alike to me.

Celeste, I knew you would go for the blues.

Here are some hot colors. Patti

Oooo love that yellow/orange/red broom. Does it seed about a lot? Is it more orange or red? I think maybe another for the list.

ditto on the sweet william 'heart attack' oooooooo

It says volumes that I have the time to watch astilbes bloom.I guess I need a real life.I imagined these Amethysts with lilies last year and planted same. I hope the Amethysts are still blooming when the lilies open,Samuer,Rosepoint Lace,Pink Perfection.
I watch these every day from the deck.

I think a life watching astilbes bloom is a wonderful life ^_^

Ngam, We have only grown that one for 2 years. We mow or weed whack around it. I think it is suppose to be sterile broom hybrid so it is not suppose to self seed, but I wouldn't count on that.

Ge1836, Love the astilbes. Patti

Some last one today. Nap time. Patti

nite-nite Patti

I like those front iris too - fall colors!

Great hot color collage

The roses, clems, & iris are so beautiful.....thanks everyone for posting.

Zenobia.

Common daylily.

Hydrangea Quickfire.

great shots patti - hope you feel better very soon!!

still waiting for my zenobia to do something.

Bill, zenobia is ericaceous so you may want to add something to acidify the soil around it.

maybe add to the number of white pines i have already?

Look what greeted me this morning. First of my callas to bloom - Picasso. Got some new hybrids. Took forever for the corms to sprout - about 2 months. I thought they all got rotten. But as soon as they sprout out of the ground they grow so fast.

Side view.

Few more rose pictures to post.

Here's Chicago Peace.

I think this one is Granada.
