Blooms 2011 #6

Thom, that facebook link worked for me, but I have an account. It might not work for those who don't have one. Anyone here who doesn't have an account have problems viewing? I might be wrong. Anyhow, I always to go down to the bottom of the photo album and copy the public link URL link, where it says you can share with anyone. When you post here it doesn't show the actual URL once it's posted, but anyone with or without an account can view you photos. Very nice pics, btw.

Everyone's photos are great. Maybe I'll get a chance to post some pics over the weekend. I'm getting my new puppy on Sat., so he'll be keeping me busy.

No, not Nelly. I can't remember, though.

2 of my clems are wilting this year

You had cold weather, Jo? We were hot, hot, hot here! Just about 90! Too much for me. It's too hot, too soon. Nice pics. Sorry about the deer damage on the hydrangea.

Nice pics, Victor. I have that Niobe clem, but it never does well for me. Right now I have a clem called 'Guernsey Cream' that's just blooming its head off.

Resizing some pics now and will post shortly.

Karen

Debi, I get the wilt on my clems just about every year. It's really discouraging. I think every few years they look gorgeous, then they wilt.

Karen

it's frustrating when it happens just before they are about to bloom

Victor, is that clem 'Josephine" or 'Patricia Ann something or rather" ? LOL It's beautiful what ever it is!

Beautiful Victor, love the clems, miss my niobe who I had to say RIP this year. It was hot today, prepped the veggie bed so we can lay the veggies tomorrow; Since I last prepped it I had enough mint for our community, it had utterly taken over and grown under the edges of the raised bed.

Yes - Josephine! I have Patricia Ann Fretwell too.

Love all the photos, especially Josephine.

For those with clematis wilt - cut back the clematis to the ground. Apply an anti fungal product. They should bounce back.

Nice photos! I agree with Allison,love the Kalmia and GS together. Really like the gold physo too, Nugget?

Dart's Gold, I think.

since I am not working.. might as well start clicking

Very nice Allison and Joann. Allison, what is the purplish brown tall plant? Looks pretty neat.
Joann, your lasagna garden looks great. How long did it take to develop?

Julia Child

Penstemon

Julia Child is the one I must buy this year. They are all so lovely.

Gorgeous, Rama, Jo and Allison. Love the irises Allison. Those are my faves this time of year. Well, that and clems and peonies. The only peonies I have blooming thus far is my single flowered one called Scarlet O'Hara.

Here are a few from May 21st. This first bunch is a series of shots of my pond and surrounding garden.
