Another DL that Cousin Nut helped me save from extintsion

WHOO HOO DLs that I inherited with the house are looking very florific ^_^

Closeup of the florific DLs

Here little hummers....here little hummers.... this is a magnet.... here little hummers....here little hummers

As a herbie I know it's a no no to let them go to fleur but how luvlly is the fernleaf dill.

O twould be a rudbeckia from a seedling that I put in last year. hmm where is that wonderful people who puts tags in I wonder? (snort)

O who me sneakin in a dahlia? Caribean Fantasy

An annual aster that looks like it's gonna be fabby

love the Caribean Fantasy

Well can I say enough about Sexy Rexy" Zone 5ers and up hardy for you. I'm going to bury it in a dahlia bed to winter over. Methinks it's a must have cuz it's been a prolific bloomer all summer. Not stinky though sigh.

Nice everyone...I am so mad at myself I forgot to spread zinnia seeds this year....

Anyone have tuberose???

mine are not blooming yet Jen... planted late

I planted tuberoses late as well, so I have nice foliage but no flowers yet. Carrie, no prep for zinnia; We opened the seed packet and literally dropped( my then 8 yo dau) it on the ground and since then they have self sown each year. This was at the curbside with all the salt and street abuse.
Lovely blooms Dnut.

love the zinnia & caladium JoAnn... the echo of the color is great

One wish you did good with the maypop and I like the oregano as a companion, very nice indeed.
D-nut lovely DLs and lily. I really do like that dill with nice airy foliage and the flower is not bad either. Also the dahlias of course and what monarda is that beauty?
Nice bright and evidently tough zinnia. Gotta love those that seem to thrive no matter the conditions.
Your garden is still looking good for this time of year and the crazy weather. Love that caladium combo too. Very nice.

I agree with Pat....some very nice combos out there!

I thought this might be an interesting portfolio.

D-nut, what lovely DL's you have!! I love the dahlia and aster too!!!!
Ge that is a great combo and your gardens do look good for the end of the summer :)
Nice walkway!

pretty florific there dnut - is that a familiar rudbeckia ??

thanks Patti.. did you spot your AC orange? (was from a cutting last year)

you know the coleus path is my fav JoAnn

ge1836:

I loved the many coleus, and other lovely growers (impatiens? not sure, but they were pretty)....a walkway with beautiful flowers/plants makes morning coffee taste better, yes?

Since coleus is so easy to propogate (even for an inept person like me), a few sprigs in water should carry nicely into next spring.

Oh yes and it looks like a nice full plant too. Not much room left around here, but that is surely one I have on the definitely need next spring list.

I will start more cuttings and see how they do in the greenhouse for spring Patti

Nice collage, JoAnn, the colors are so soft.

Thanks

Nice shots Joann.

Sedum 'Carmen' is fairly light green and the blooms start out white and slowly turn pink.

Phlox 'Jubilee' I believe, this one demands your attention.

Cornflower

These won't quit....i'm really enjoying them this summer.

Another glad that made it thru the winter in the ground!

So did this one....

and this one...

and this one and a white one too! I know it was a fluke...in 16 years of growing glads it's never happened before!

With all the humidity I wasn't shocked to find these in my shade garden!

Heather has filled out nicely compared to last year.

Sunflower, forget which one at the moment.
