Hardy Cyclaman

One lone Gerbera

Moonbeam Coreopsis still going strong

Crape Myrtle

Itty bitty rose

Salvia I picked up late to fill in where the dahlias didn't make it

don't know if that is a PEJW Jen... have not had one in years.. love the crape!

Me too, wish I could grow them here!!

Really pretty....my crape died this spring!

There is this GORGEOUS crape around the corner from my sil's house, she had asked the lady what she does...every spring she prunes the entire top off...I need to get a pic of it.

does that make more blooms?

Supposedly-
hers is full and completely loaded with blooms

I have seen some goofy looking ones around.. all bent over and lanky

Yeah, they get top heavy I've noticed that with mine after the rain...I'll be pruning mine back this spring

We had one in our FL yard.....we'd never get to see it blooming, but every spring I'd cut it way down....our friends said it looked nice!

Where's Jo? I'm missing her, is she on vacation? Anyone know???

she posted on the other site.. she is around

Good to know, thanks. :)

I was wondering about JoAnn myself, and didn't see her on the other site.

been in the coleus & container fourms

Jen I had a young Joe Pye Weed plant that looked just like that. Now a couple years later it is at least 7' tall and has Huge flower heads. I'd give it a chance if I was you :) The one I have I grew from seeds from Prairie oon Nursery and they were labelled E. purpureum, it is kinda light mauve up close but looks kinda white from a distance. When it was young it looked pretty much copletely white.

HEY you gardeners.I am lurking. I am on ATP but not that NEGF . I am on Lilies,Cottage Gardens,Containers,Coleus,Iris .

Hi JO, glad your OK !

Thanks Jo, we should be fine...it's been down graded to a Tropical Storm so im alot more at ease. Won't be any worse than some of the Nor'Easters we get. :)

Hey, Jo.....keep posting with us...I need to see your gardens!

You'r right.
Storm seems to be moveing westward ,up thru Vermont and eastern New York thru the Mys. to Canada.

I considered not renewing my membership but changed my mind.
I can manage 2 websites.

YAY! Think of being snowed in.....the only fun is discussing what new varieties we'll be planting! Ooooh, the wind is really howling now!

I would of had to come hunt you down Jo if you left us. ^_^

Gotta have gardeners when winter comes ya know!

White MG, love the little pinky spots in the middle of it

White and blue - this is the tall mix

Scarlet O'hare MG not that good of a pic though.

Pretty! Love MG's, I have very few this year. Chippies or something kept eating my seedlings!!!

hummers like mg's = long throat

Yes, they do. Luckily I had my tropical hibiscus outside and they made good use of those too.
