Pretty pic of your veronica JoAnn. Took a walk through the leaf covered garden early this am. Only speck of color is the mums (even they are looking a bit ragged), a slightly freeze dried delph bloom and a couple rose buds trying desperately to open. Even the colors of fall are disappearing and giving way to that "lovely" bare or brown look of the season...... counting the days.

JoAnn you need to put that 2nd post on the prior garden photos thread.

OMG I wonder where the other "paste" went.
I entered the new thread on Garden Photos 33

LOL cyber mystery

a geezer moment no doubt.

Allison, your mum looks just like mine.....did you get it from Bluestone?

Red Meidlland still hanging in there.....

This Pink Iceberg looks better now than it did all year......

no the mum co-op on here... the shipment flipped over so my tags might not be correct.. but these are the ones I wanted

Sweet collection.Allison

Thank you JoAnn... now to see if they live though winter... but at 25 cents a plug... couldn't pass it up

Cant argue with that kind of bargin.

I'm not sure mine will make it either, but we'll see.....mine looks like Quarterback.

Robin love that you have all that color still. Pretty mum and roses.
Allison that is a nice bunch of mums. Hope they all get through the winter just fine for you. Hard to pass up a bargain like that.

Why do you think they won't make it thru the winter?

Well here is my Thanksgiving cactus it is 40 years old.

Nice!!

Very pretty color on it, James. Jen, a lot of mums are just not hardy in our zones.

Very pretty cactus James. Looks like you take very good care of it.

Jen they are always hit & miss

My seiryu, the sun was just right.

Opps forgot Baby Blessed going for round 2

Wow, can't believe you have an iris blooming....I have one budded, but it looks frozen to me......

Baby Blessed is a dwarf re-bloomer. I bought it this May.
It was blooming when I planted it.

Wished you wouldn't of bought it...I own it and would of loved to share it w/you. Before you buy more...ask....I may have it~ :)

that's awesome JoAnn!!!!

It is awesome....I don't think mine has ever rebloomed.

Pixie, I bought it from a grower who lets you dig your own (or he will dig). I was charged per clump ha the clump divided nicely into 3 plants . I paid seven dollars for the clump. Had a great day out w/ another DG'er .I couldnt have asked for more. We dug other clumps of mediam's and dwarfs. I have no idea about the names.

Thats a great deal Ge!

I lost my mind. Fields of rows of iris. TB's down to dwarfs.
We are going back when Siberiens are blooming. I hope I can controle myself.
The owner kept naming plants as we dug but it was all a blurr when we got home.

I know what you mean...I now bring a paper and pen.....of course i have to remember to actually use them! LOL

Where is this JoAnne? Around here?

Hi Debbi
Yes, its Borglums
Dana is a great guy, very laid back. I went on a weekday because he said weekends duering bloomtime are chaos. 200 people and cars parked all along the side of the road

This is a median I bought too,divided it in half.

cool, is there another DG'er near here too?

It was Pollyk , we met at Borglums and she dug for me. We went to lunch in Geneva and then went to our respective homes in oposit direstions.

wish it was closer... sounds like fun

Sounds like you had a great time. I may have to check them out, maybe take my sister Mary. She isn't a gardener but says she wants to do some, and loves iris.

and thanks for the link
