Garden Photos one per day 2011 #2

Lovely, Victor. Clem's are such a nice change of pace. Some clem's are velvety, some are almost sheer, some double, along with the tiny, huge, and bell shaped ones.

Gotta love the butterflies!

Scilla Siberica

Great BF shot, pirl. Nice backlighting. Yes, love the variety of clems and their small footprint.

Very attractive blue on your Scilla, Ronnie.

Thanks, Victor. The little footprint makes clematis all the easier to fit in the garden - maybe too easy!

Kong Coleus

Yes, that explains the 80 or so I have planted!!

Hmmm, I'm not up to 80. But as I build my shrubs, clems will follow. And to follow....similar colors to Jen's (I don't have anymore wall pics) a scented geranium

that tri color is scented???

That geranium is cool!

Yes, it's one of the ones that I'm trying, desperately, to overwinter. It puts out feeble blooms that I cut off. The leaves are much prettier than the blooms.

Very pretty, wha.

Victor - try counting clematis instead of sheep. It's fun but may keep you awake instead of putting you to sleep.

Jo, you are so talented!

what does it smell like Weeze?....

Hi Allison
Hope this isnt a repeat JI Anytus

hey there Jo

Considering I have 4 clematis Victor I have a long way to go to catch up! But I do love them.

Love the colors on the coleus and geranium.

Nice Rhodie!

Pretty Irises.

Hellebore from my neighbor.

Beautiful iris's ladies and I love the leaves on that geranium! Bill that is a nice spring picture, love that rhody.

'Wabash'

Pretty Ronnie!!!!

Thanks for mentioning the fact that you cut off the flower on the zonal geranium, Louise. I have a few of them and hate the flowers - way too wimpy for me.

Lovely Wabash, Celeste. My next door neighbor gave me some of hers and I treasure them. The Hellebore and irises are so nice.

Great colors Pirl

Yes love the combo!

very nice pics everyone,
Bill, I thought yours would make a nice card...

Thanks, ge and Celeste. The impatiens didn't survive with the root competition of the other plants. Live and learn.

Pretty, debi!

Nice Deb!!

Victor, do you worry that those 80 clematis will rise up and strangle your house someday? Powerful lot of them, but they are stunning, when they do finally start to produce.

Pirl, those are yummy together.

I can't wait for the Iris and roses. This is a fun one. Taken May 30, 2011 TBI Unstable Gene & Rosa Rugosa Carmen. Patti

there you go again deb!

speaking of clems - noid

Nice!

Beautiful ladies and gents!
What a pleasure stroll on this wet lousy day!

Need to cheer up from the gloomy day.

They are all such cheerful photos.

Love that color harmony, Victor.

I had bloom of the day today. Never happened before.

Congrats!

Congrat's from me, too. The first time is one we never forget!

(Go ahead, Victor, I'm waiting...)
