Garden Photos #11

very nice!!!

So far a few have survived. In other words lucky little things. The Asiatic Lilys are now 6 years old. They are going to be moved, soon I hope.

Astible this bed needs to be reworked and more moved in. Soon, I hope

Rudbeckia

Strawberry something Allison gave me 3 years ago

Viola Sorbet or Johnny Jump Up. I never planted these. I just dug them up as they were living in pure stones. They say they are short flowering. Well they are not and cant be killed.

Last one. Why oh why did I ever plant these? They dont have the best green leaves. They are like razor blades. Dumb blonde.

Great photo of 4th of July, Pixie....I painted mine a few weeks ago in art class......Sherrie, glad to see your delphs...love that color. Jo, I love all the lilies.....mine are starting to open.....here is a noid.....

Sherrie, I cannot grow the pokers....die off every time! Here's another noid lily....

An early DL......

Sherrie I am guessing that is the potentilla I grew from seed.. yours is so much darker than mine.. guess they aren't getting enough sun.. LOL

LOVE that pink NOID

Thanks, guys! I love that Hard Rock Cafe, too. It's too soon to register it. Needs more evaluation. Been in a bed where it was crowded out by many seedlings. Now it has more room to grow. Will wait a few more years on this one.

Celeste, you have lilies on steroids!!!!!! Love that Fourth of July rose. Gorgeous!

The lilies look great at your place Jo. No lily beetles there?

Sherrie, I love your Tritoma. I have some, too, and really like them. Sorry you don't.

Will post more pics tonight.

I ordered verbascum 'Alba' from Annie's as well, Karen...it has just started to bloom....hope it will give me some seedlings if it's a biennial....

Phlox are just starting also....

This DL blossom is huge & fragrant........

Wow, I missed a lot of the beauties, great shots every one.

Has the season progressed faster than usual?
I'm very pleased with this Asclipias incarnata for the fragrance and cool bugs it attracts. It sits between a spent Peony and a growing Budleae.
Karen, the Asclipias came from your RU 2 years ago. Thanks to whoever donated it.

They look great, Andy.....

Tithonia, supposed to be six feet tall, this plant is only two feet tall but already in bloom.

Phlox

Bee balm with noid white flower which is beautiful.

Liatris

Stephanotis aka Madagascar Jasmine, smells divine.

I really like the red & white together Rama.....the noid is gooseneck loosestrife.....very invasive....took me about 5 years to get rid of it, but a few pop up every summer.

Does anyone know why a peony would loose its scent?
We bought this place 4 years ago and the peonies had a scent,now they dont.

Fell way behind again. So many beauties.

I have a few. DL.

White echie.

Stewartia.

Maybe too much rain this year, Jo? I never noticed much of a scent on mine.....Victor, the colors & textures on that last photo are stunning.....

Thanks.

Are baptisia seeds worth keeping/planting??

I ordered a white baptisia this year, but they were sold out.....like it better than the blue....try planting a few....

Sherrie, think your 'Strawberry Something' is from me....looks like 'Burgundy Blanket Flower'

First bloom on what the tags says is JI 'Jocasta'. This is new for me but it doesn't look much like PF pictures.
