Garden Photos # 14

Last night I noticed some Delphinium exaltatum is starting to bloom.

the delph is very pretty Meredith

Loved the hummers.

Great garden tours everyone.

Great shots, everyone. Love the hummer video, Allison!

Thanks for the ID, Jo....I'm jealous of those butterfly photos! I like Joan S. with that bright blue delph......

thank you

Looking good!!!
Great video Allison
Great critter shots Victor
Joan Senior is very pretty

tanks bud!

I like Joan Senior. One of my faves.

Here is a hummer moth.

My camera can not capture them they move too fast

Thanks everyone! Yes I can't get this fast little guys either!

Bill your yard is beautiful as always! Feeling better?

Nice video Allison!!

Jen do you like yellow? :)

Robin 'Clearing the Fog ' is lovely.

Victor, nice bee's & butterfly shots and i've always loved that hibiscus!

Meredith Joan Senior is a lovely DL one i've had for a longtime....great shot. Your delphiniums are beautiful!


This is my other love, don't tell Brian. ^_^
'Bela Lugosi' which blooms @ the same time as 'Joan Senior'...I think they have a thing. LOL

nice moth catch Victor!.. very pretty bold colors Celeste.. photos took forever to load this morning

feeling better and at work today

Yay! Good news, Bill. Pixie, Bella is a wow plant....love those saturated colors....too hard to paint though! I'm going to try ( for the hundreth time) to paint some DLs next week......Victor, my butterfly bush has not bloomed yet.....didn't know the sphinx moths liked them.....

Is a sphinx moth a hummingbird moth??

Bill - any idea what it was?

not the same.. but no expert

well maybe it is.. maybe just different types???

this is interesting

I always see the clearwing that we get.. as a flying shrimp rather than a hummingbird anyway

We get the Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moths

Celeste, maybe a little

today's shots.. just flowers

Those impatiens look just like roses....very pretty! And I like the deep red lily.....Leslie Woodruff?

that one is black beauty

Thanks, Allison....

and Celeste's hubby and I both agree about the double imp. looking like bitty roses for the shade

I want to show off my Daylily Hey Bud from this morning, he had a lot of blooms open...

Voluptuous Pink looked especially nice this morning too..

Not the best picture but Patrician Splendor had lots open today as well..

These ones must like the heat! Elfin Envoy had a bunch open too.. Again not an awesome picture but you can see all the flowers.

Was it here we were coplaing our Jacob Cline Monarda were dwindling? Here is what mine looked like in 2008... http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/i/50984/

Now this is what I got this year :( Pitiful

Beautiful Allison, Brian loves those lil roses!

"Crimson Edgings'

Wow that one's a beauty!

Thanks, I got it last year and hoped it would make it thru the winter...it did!

Wow - love Mededith's voluptuous pink and Celeste's crimson edgings! I must get more DLs!!

Taking recommendations for good DL sources....

great shots Meredith... love the name hey bud!!!... great colors on that one Celeste!!

Wow - Meredith is another DL queen! Very nice. Love anything with voluptuous in the name.

Thank you both! I did get bit by the Daylily bug but I am trying to stop at 75.. :)
