She's about to...62... Fall is almost here!

This is a late blooming Daylily, she too is beautiful.

Faye I am jealous. Just finished moving all my brugs in for the winter. Only had 2 blooms the whole season. Thing is since I dug them up and put them in pots they look a lot better. Guess they will stay in the pots next year.

Long day. I am done in. :0)

gorgeous display Faye. I am jealous too. Mine are just now starting to bud, and I have been moving them in slowly. Son came by today after work and moved a whole lot of stuff around for me and got my plant areas more organised and shelves set up. Came home from work, went to work cleaning house and then took a break to go out and take a few pics.
new Datura.. I love it.

celosia, and butterfly milkweed

It is a gorgeous daylilly too, Faye

another new datura Box of Chocolates? Eddie Dewayne

Salvia is everywhere

Debra, those are so pretty! Love the datura colors!

omg those brugs are wonderful! Mine are all in and need water, watering indoors is such a pain. We got really cold last night and windy this morning, I got some halloween fuzzy socks so I am all ready...rofl.

Debra I love that combination of plants together that is beautiful!

Man Debra you are killing me with those dats. I planted some double yellow and lavender and only the yellow bloomed and it only had 2 flowers. Not sure what I did wrong. Come to think of it though all my dats did poorly, even the white ones. Gave my Mom some that I had started from the same seed and hers has 25 buds on it right now. Who the heck knows. Been that kind of year.

I dunno Neener, I do know I have them all in pots or containers except the newest dark center one, and that started in a pot and ended up in the empty bean patch where I put up an umbrella. This sumer just got started for me and now it is cooling down, so sad, seems like we were robbed or something, doesn't it? ( of gardening time)
I keep 5 lantanas going all winter, this is one of them..

i Have to show you all this.. can you see it?

side shot

new area for plants, son put this together for me, loading it up now..

his old room is full.. well almost full..here is one side

neener, one of my dats ( triple currant) I over wintered last year, it bloomed twice down there, do you have room for one of each of your plants? I like keeping them going, kinda like brugs.. and hibiscus, and gingers, and;;;;
things.

You have a room full of plants! What is that pretty bloom?

GoodMorning, That bloom is from a Thunbergia erecta and I didn't spell it right as usual.

here is the link.. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/529/ I adore it. nice thing about my basement, I can get little cuttings, little starts, bring the in for winter, and they get big. Our basement may have cracks in the wall, be ugly, and seem like wasted space in summer, but in winter, it turns into my garden wonderland.

If anyone wants to try cuttings this winter, I will be trimming all the tropical shrubs. this side is still empty and so is the closet.. stictocardia was in closet blooming last year.

Forgot wanted to share I Got this IMPATIENT as a Cutting In July & Look At it Now as of two days ago. Its out in the new Plant Home :)))

Susie, that is beautiful. Cuttings today are lantanas, snowqueen hibiscus, night blooming cestrum. digging up this week will be impatiens, a couple small castor bean plants, and the special mgs that I winter over.
these were cuttings at one time..

I Would like to try some of your Impatiens , cestrum, any Brugs ya might have a gal gave me a firecracker vine i think that is what its called & Its growing good so far :) Also a Begonia & I would like to try a few other Begonias. maybe passion vine if anyone has.
Had to share the water falls at the little chaple where my friends daughter was married . I Hope to put one in some day .

Susie, you and I have same thoughts, I wanted a waterfall for a long time now. and.. a Natural walk out pond.. have you seen those?

If you don't mind cuttings, I can send some to ya, Susie.

I would love some cuttings & I will share some of mine with you if you like ?? well just waiting for daddy to go to bed so that I can
go out & Play in the plant house :) tomorrow we start on painting all the trim , & Hope to get the Hole dug for the water pipes .

susie

OK, I gotta show you guys the loves of my life, now you do have to remember I am still missing in the pic 3 more loves, one big giant basset one big black lab, and one black cat. Don't they look cozy? rofl. The wire terrier (brown) is shortie, he has the funniest ears, they are like antennas, then there is Bass the bassett hound, and of course DH.

Debra, how do you start lantana? I have a purple one growing wild in the back yard, and would love to save some of it for the garden next year.

Happ, love those pooches!

awww Joyce, what a beautiful portrait of your crew. I think it is great!

Linda, I just stick it in like any of the other things I root, up to second leaf node.. and hope for the best with cuttings, but I bring in the whole plant and cut it back on most of my lantanas..

Yours is purple? Not lavender? OOOhhhh o_0 ;D

DEB What is the Purple flower in pic above:) I Just brought in my lantana Plant it is the yellow &Pinkish one like yours debra .
it smell realy good :) well off to play out in the new place . back in the morning .
susie

That plant is pleckanthrus Mona Lavender I have had it for three years in and out. It also makes cuttings real easy.
too bad the blue on this shoefly plant doesn't show up real good.

I will get a picture of it tomorrow. It is a light purple. It is in the ground, and big, so I will try some cuttings...

I have shoofly plant & I Just love it it just reseeds Love the color of them :) well off to work outside today after the temp rises .:) back later love any cuttings you have to share .
susie

Great picture Happ!!

Debra I already pulled up the dats for the year. They were so awful looking that it wasnt' worth bringing them in. Besides I have no more room for plants this winter.

I have 3 pieces of white butterfly ginger tuber that someone can have if you want. Just let me know. Getting ready to leave on vacation the end of the week, so speak up soonest. :0) Have 2 pots of ginger inside and one of them is going to bloom hopefully. Probably while we are away, but at least my Mom will get to enjoy it since she has never seen one or smelled one.

I *think* i have that Ginger, do you have a leaf shot of it? and please, have a good and safe trip.

Debra, the light purple lantana I have is almost done blooming, but it looks like it has seeds. Will these seeds grow?

seed pods???

This is the lantana you sent, and it looks like it has seeds too???

Oh save me some of the purple or Lavender color Pretty please

Hi all, I have caught up reading this thread and as I was reading saw so much I wanted. By the time I get to write, don't know who had what! Do know I loved that single bloom that Debra showed and I know I want Lantana seeds or cuttings of any color/colors. And of course as usual, put me down for cuttings or seeds of any and all Daturas and Angel Trumpets.
Debra, the plants you sent are coming alive again.. The dried up Hibiscus has tiny green leaves and most of the other cuttings are doing good too. The vine is "Still dead" lol and doesn't look like it's going to relive.
Who has a convenient list of Brugs that will be cut back and cuttings offered for postage? Pleased consider me when the cutting starts.
Love & Hugs to all
Faye
