Beautiful LK... that is an Akatsu No Mai, ( the Pink one) dunno bout the light blue, I had some last year but neveer got an ID..
sister making me breakfast before i head home, first time she has cooked for me in a long time..
here is her giant blooms I gave her seeds for last year
we strung them up on fishing line.. hers have specks sometimes, not as often as I would like... Yours is beautiful, seeds take a while to form on them, but they should seed out for you..
here is a Miko No Mai... it is blooming on her fence out back..
she doesn't have much outside, but she likes what she has..
Hugs back to all ya..
Debra, must of missed that you were at your sisters. Sounds like the visit is a good one! Drive careful.
Pretty blooms everyone!
Darn deer got at my MG's last night. Munched a bunch. They were really getting pretty.
Good morning all Been out feeding & watering the brugs its about 59* was rainy but has let up sun trys to peek out Now & Again
well i got my start on the spookie season :) I need to go pick up my straw for the winter for my pens so will get a couple extra for the front of my new place . hoping to pick up the new siding after the 1st of the month along with Hopefully hooking up the water lines :)
well daddy is calling time to sign off & go get Lunch you all have a fun day.
Debra, thanks for the name. Glad you Sister has some growing!
Neener, so sorry the deer munched on your flowers!
Susie, love the fall decorations! Did you paint them?
Neener I think my big old black lab must of been sleeping cause it looks to me like the deer have been munching at my house also. Had some tropical hibiscus lined up ready to go in the garden room and the tops are cut off straight across, just like my roses! I didn't do it.......
Susie love the door, I put up my decorations today, I don't have alot but years ago I painted up a few things. Getting more into halloween again, glad I am in the swap this year. Last year I was in a swap and I am so bad I don't remember who sent me this but it is the cutest welcome sign, little ghost are hanging from a vine with their black eyes and mouth and a letter painted on each one that spells out Welcome. I hang it from the fireplace.
Played in the garden room alot today, dragging plants out of the pond to get ready for winter. I have so much stuff that is just going to have to be overwintered again......dang. No NEW plants next year until all of these are planted....rofl. You all believe that right?
happ your only as bad as the rest of us WITH THE SAME PROBLEM :)
Hello ladies, I need help. I have Angel Trumpets that were sent to me with the label KBS. Does anyone know what the initials stand for and what color is the bloom? Thank you for any info.
Loveee those Morning Glories.

KBS = Kurpark Bad Salzchlirf
Thanks Linda and thanks for the links given on the other forum.
Any time!
I didn't get anything done in the gardens yesterday or the plants, threw some water on a few things but that was it. I froze a few quarts of apples for apple pie later this winter. A friend loaned me her apple peeler, it is quite the deal. Peels, cores, does the whole thing.
Been looking at buying some allium bulbs, wish they weren't so darn expensive. I was reading up on them and the other problem says they are pretty short lived, that they start decline after about 3 years. Those are alot of money for something that declines so quickly. Easier for me to justify peonies and things that last decades.
Evening all well i findly got a day out of here to go shop. Went to J C Penny's Sale today I Got over $200. worth of clothes & Shoes for a TOTAL Of $76. Unreal
$42.00 pants for $12. & many many New tops for summer & Fall Less then $5. each
I Love sales like that & If I Would have signed up for their card I Could have gotten another 15% off but I Do not want to get any more cards Learned my lesson it is cash & Carry all the way . :)
Happ My alliums have been in the ground for about 2yrs & I Don't see that they are multiplying or i would share with you I Only have MT Everest & Globemaster ??? I Think it is if i find there is more next spring I Will share with you.
well daddy is ready to go to bed back in the morning
Susie, that is some great deals you found today!
I agree!!!!
a loverly colorful bouquet for ya all..
deejay you are such a sweetie, I don't think alliums multiply like most bulbs, I have had some for quite awhile and I don't see them multiplying at all. That is why I am thinking of getting more, but thinking about it I am not sure it makes good sense. So I am torn. Wow you made out like a bandit at Pennys...wowzer! Good deal. That is almost as good as a good plant sale...rofl.
I haven't had time to do anything with flowers, I am barely just barely getting home before dark. I am so going to hate it when the time changes....yuck! I better get some plant time quicky or I am going to get grouchy! rofl.
editted to say Debra those are beautiful blooms! That is a beautiful row of blooms and thank you so much for the bouquet! ;)

susie
Awe Susie, they are so cute!
What kind of pie are we having for dinner?
Just a few pretties to show off. I need to ask if anyone knows what this one is? It is so small, only about 1/2 inch.
I thought it was a cardinal climber at first, but it is orange, not red, and the leaves are different!

This dark blue almost purple morning glory popped open this morning! Love the white edge...
And this one has petals that almost come to a point, with white edges!
Last one for today! Look at the fine stripes going into the middle!

I have tried to figure out if I hate getting up in the morning coming to work on nice days worse or bad days worse when I could stay snuggled in bed, and figured out it must have something to do with work...rofl.
