2010 Garden Photos #20

I'm not a happy camper with this one. When I bought the bulbs they were advertised as red Hiawatha lilies. I don't even like this shade of orange.

Yay, I got a dahlia. Where's D-nut? D-nut come take a look at my dahlia.

Edited to add name of dahlia - Jazz.

Last for now - Hydrangeas. Big Daddy at front, a macrophylla behind it, and more hydrangeas in the far background.

Well I thought that purple peppers turned purple after they were fully grown but I guess not it is already turning purple.

Touching Oriental

Great shots everyone.

I see a road trip to Tex's place in Jen's future.

Anthemis tinctoria Moonlight

Wow guys, Tex is going to town with these beauties, just got back from work and this thread had been lit ablaze. Beautiful shots everyone.

Yes, I'm blown away by those photos...the purple hydrangea is awesome!

Tex is cooking!!

More pretty blooms Tex. Love those callas.
Nice pepper pensacola. Never ate a purple pepper. Tastes the same as a green pepper I expect.
Jen you have an oriental blooming already. It is very nice, bright and cheerful. I can't get over how fast the season is going this year.
Lovely dark HH rama. Lost all mine last year but there is a baby I found so maybe next year a bloom or two.

Nice Calla's Tex, I didn't plant any this year...now im kicking myself!
Beautiful Dahlia too....."Yoooooooooooou Hooooo D-Nut!!!!" LOL

holy cow.... I can't keep up with this thread.. Celeste... save me some seed from the 2nd foxglove... somehow I don't have one of them... LOL... that one is Pam's Choice BTW

Looks great, should order it for next year.

Love the black HH My fall sowing has produced lots of babies.I hope a few are black,the rest will be yellow.

Love it, love it.

sundowner echi

tigers i moved our of the day lily bed

little honey hydragea - have three of these and this is the best one it gets a lot of shade - the other two are on either side and received more sun as it passed between sugar maples during the day

blue shadow fothergilla

Love the black HH.

thx - it is a tall one almost 9' right now and needs to be staked or it will flop:)

Nice pics Bill, even of your foot. That 'Coral Reef' is really nice. Was thinking of getting it next year if it stays orange and doesn't turn too pink, peachy is okay. You will have to let us know how it progresses for you. Also like the 'Blue Shadow', can't beat that foliage. Would love to squeeze one or two in some place. Those get about 4'x4' more or less?

Nice Bill! You got me looking at my Echies now...I think I may have lost one or two from the co-op but i see a few survived. :) I really like that Mondara too.........let me know if it's a spreader. I want things that spread like crazy to put in the field, so far I have yarrow and lupines and daisies. Think i'll put Mondara and blanket flowers in next.

L like your plants Bill

pat i will try and remember to post photo's of coral reef as it flowers and fades - i have two of those.

i lost three from the coop celeste - the mondara does spread, was just a little thing last year (with two other complementary colors) all came up gangbusters and i installed plastic edging around them (buried) to keep to the size i wanted - one of the three died back although now has new shoots - all three got mildew before i could spray them - got them at high country gardens fireball, grand marshall, and pink lace.

forgot to coment on blue shadow it is supposed to grow to about 5x5

Thanks for the info Bill.

The blue fothergillas are great. I have two or three different ones. There are ones that stay really small - two feet or so. I have them but forgot the name.

the small ones are not blue right? i have a couple dwarf fothergilla's called "bill's dwarf" name has nothing to do me no comments please:)

There is a small blue one, Blue Mist.

One of my enemies - gooseneck loosestrife.
