Garden Photos one per day 2011 #2

Thanks, Allison!

Fabulous 'Blue Billow' shot, Victor.

Delphinium.

Victor, you miss bikinis and I wish being young and fit enough to wear one still. I do have a Hosta Teeny Weeny Bikini supposedly in the garden, but no picture of it either. Patti

Beautiful Pirl!

noid clems!

is that beech is some shade victor? mine get full sun so the color fades in the summer.

Beautiful Bill!!! Looks alot like 'Pink Champange'

Would love to see Bill's clem & Pirl's delph in the garden together.....colors really complement each other! Where's Jo when you need her? She must be climbing the walls without her computer!

Love that delph, pirl!

No, same with this one, Bill. Looks best in spring. Nice clem.

Nice with the drops, Robin.

Dianthus Bath's Pink.

That would be a nice combo, Marilyn. Your delphinium is lovely - that color is so nice in the garden.

I imagine Jo Ann painting all the walls in her room with huge floral displays to counter the weather and being without a computer. I'd go mad!

Victor - I need to find more synonyms for your glorious photos.

A little sunshine for today - one of my own hybrids:

Thanks, pirl!

Very nice DL - do you name them?

Thanks, Victor. I've only named a few - Jasper Dale (for Mike in sunny California), Mom and Me, Poochella Pink (the dahlia queen) and Pirl's Pink Eye. It would require a great deal of vodka to name 1,364 of them, Victor!

Whoa!!!

Right!

Touching

Beautiful, Jen.

Nice backlighting.

Bath's Pink is on my wishlist, Victor....Pirl, what a beauty...had no idea you hybridized DLs, & Jen, Touching is a beautiful OT!

This one is in the greenhouse at the Bronx Botanical Gardens.

Wow...wish I was in a greenhouse today!

Robindog, I was in mine today, does that count? But I love going up to the Bronx. I use their library which isn't as good as it should be, but a lovely place to poke about when ever I visit the NY Botanical Garden. Here is a shot in our GH with the Jades still in bloom.a few days ago. Patti

think this is one from Weeze

Patti how long does it take to water all those?

Oh, Patti, that's just where I need to be! My next door neighbor has a greenhouse attached to her living room, it's heated, & she grows nothing any more....she used to just keep orchid cacti and her parakeet & cockatoo in there, but after her DH died, she just gave up on everything......Bill, I like that fothergilla a whole lot!

That is so sad.

We have a regular sized hose on a self winding reel, so it is easy and does not take so long. Plus DH is more likely to water than me, so I can't complain. There are big permanent raised beds throughout it that we water by just hanging up the hose over them to soak as needed without having to stand there. I guess it is pretty full! We mostly empty it in the summer. That is the backbreaking job. Patti

Clem Silver Moon.

Pretty pretty, I planted one that was called C.Silver Moon, but I thought it was going to have a "silver-mauve flower" I would be happy with that blue. Here is C.The President, 6-1-10. Patti

Actually I should have said that I would be "Over the Moon" if it looked liked Victor's. Patti

Spring 2009 at my house.

can't wait!!!

Nice! Looks like 2008, though. ^_^

Very cheery on this dreary day!

Yes very cheery! Love the clematis

We could all use a few of these!

Daffs are my son's fav flower

Viola

Loved all the cheery yellows today, & Victor, your Silver Moon is much nicer than mine!

Robindog, that is the color I was expecting, but I just planted it this fall. Long wait to see it bloom as they are so slow when you buy the cheap little ones.

flowAjen. daffs are my favorite too. My first ones bloomed on March 21st last year. Can't wait.

luvsgrtdanes, those are a big wow. Thanks.

AYankeeCat, that shot is lovely on the gloomy and rainy day here. I adore the pattern in the brick walk. Patti

Even loved the leaves on the trees behind the sunflowers.

And of course there is an iris.

Nice photos, all, and that's a great clump of irises!

The clump is a seedling, hybridized by a friend in OR.
