2010 Garden Photos 18

With the first rays of sun the first balloon has opened.

heliopsis 'Summer Sun' I think. This is a nice sunny bloom even on cloudy days that blooms for a long time.

The lilies are just starting.

sea holly getting some color.

The sunset columbine keeps blooming while the salvia is almost done with this first round of blooms.

and the last one for today is an iris that is unknown, it was a freebie with an order many years ago. Many of these blooms that are open now are about two weeks ahead of when they usually bloom. Last year things were late so maybe next year we will be back on schedule.

Here is a red canna I got from a DG'er it is doing lovely. When I went to New Orleans to visit my friend I took some with me and she says hers is beautiful.

No Pixie
No,the tallest astil is 4 feet high dispite Bluestones discription 18 inches.Dont know how they figure that.

Beautiful shots! Hope my dwarf sea holly color up like that. I really like that look and will let them seed.

Venosa violacea.

JI again.

Small Invincibelle bloom.

Lady Scarlet.

Blue Billow.

Last - Kermesina - a new one.

Ngam Your purple irises are Japanese iris (JI).

The goatsbeard is awesome, JoAnn....Pat, loved the density of color on C. Marlowe...is it a David Austen? Pensy, the red canna is pretty....mine are green, with red streaks. Victor, Blue Billow is my fav, but am liking the new clem, too. My first spuria iris opened today......

Wish I had more delphs this color....

Fleabane.....

Fleabane needs a better name!

Yeah.....blue daisy would be much better.

Forgot about two EE's I got from the caladium order. How deep should I plant them??

I am not help... I know Sherrie has them

I only had my EE's in pots before and I planted them like regular bulbs

Thanks. I'll probably put them in pots too.

Marilyn, lovely pics; the JI freebie looks great ngam;
Victor your kermesina is beautiful.

I am excited about this whitish cream hollyhock.

The combo

Endless summer I think, had it for four years, this is the first year it bloomed.

Artemesia silver mound, usually has tiny white flowers.

I just planted Blue Billow this year. Great pic Victor. Do you use aluminum sulfate, or is your soil naturally acidic?

Beautiful delph Robin. I wish they would be a perennial for me.

Ngam, my first balloon just popped also :)

Ooops, cross posted peoniae. Nice pics. Endless Summer took awhile to get going for me too.

Very nice, Rama. Love blue spruce as a backdrop.

I have Endless Summer and like it.

My soil is naturally acidic, Weeze.

The first sun flower bud of this season, all the more special because it is a freebie.

Thanks Weeze, I like the blue billow. I am partial to blue flowers but in my limey soil everything is pinkish. I love the colors on Victor's hydrangeas. His JI looked like a sketch at first sight, so dainty.
