The other thread was over 300, so I started a new one. Lets keep them coming. We came from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1105686/

Hosta 'Halcyon'

Birdhouses my sister Hope hand painted for sale.

Karen

My earliest blooming Asiatic lily. NOID, unfortunately. Very bright red-orange.

Karen

Closer look at those lilies...

Karen

Of all the containers I put together, this one's my fave. It has a peach verbena, a lemon verbena, a sweet potato vine and I don't know what the variegated plant is called.

Karen

Corydalis, geum and white peach-leaved campanula (Campanula persicifolia) in my white/yellow garden.

Karen

The corydalis in the previous pic is huge! Much bigger than I expected it to get. I may move it back a bit, as it's crowding out the geum and a hairy bell flower.

Here is Campanula 'Blue Waterfalls'

Karen

Another shot of it. I'm really happy with this one this year. After it blooms I may move it forward a bit or move the Jolly Bee geranium that's behind it. That Jolly Bee has gotten huge!

Karen

One more shot of that.

Karen

Pink geraniums...

Karen

Cranesbill geranium 'Biokovo'

Karen

Rose campion. I love these.

Karen

Foxglove

Karen

Penstemon digitalis 'Husker's Red'

Karen

A white echi that grew from seed that came from my 'Double Decker' echi. So obviously DD does not come true from seed.

Karen

Coreopsis 'Jethro Tull'

Karen

Coreopsis volunteers from seed.

Karen

Great pix as always.

Here's a flower I'm just loving so far, though it has some aphid on it. I got it from Annie's Annuals and Perennials: http://anniesannuals.com/plants/plant_display.asp?prodid=1508&account=none

Karen

Thanks, JoAnne. One more pic of that Clarkia, a closer look, and that's it for today.

Karen

wonderful

Thanks. I'm going to save seed from this one for next year and to share. I could send you some if you like.

Karen

Great pics, Karen. I do really like that last flower...never heard of it before. I've never seen that site before either, and I just bookmarked it. They have some cool stuff for shade that I've never seen. Do you generally have to order early?

Here's a semi artsy pic I took the other evening of Regal Splendor hosta in the twilight.

Karen! I would love seeds.
Noreaster! Thats one beautiful pix

so many pretties Karen!!!

Allison How are the puppies?
Are you posting pix on the NEPet thread?

Colleen, regal splendor at twilight is beautiful!

Beautiful shots Karen. So many nice plants and I love the birdhouses. Those orange lilies really shine, nice. Also like the rose campion. It died here, don't know why, maybe should give it another try somewhere.
Noreaster that is an interesting shot of the hosta with the low light of twilight. Good one.

Allison nevermind I found them.So cute.

Nice shots everyone.
