WOW Pixie your place must be overwhelming.

Thanks Jo, hadn't gone for a stroll and thanks to Allison & Jan's encouragement I did. ^_^

Brunnera 'Jack Frost', Rhody 'Purple Gem', Flowering Quince, Daff, tulip

Glad you took your stroll, Pixie

Love all the pics, everybody

Blood Root, Mayapple leaves, White Trillium turns pink when it ages, Spiraea japonica 'Golden Elf' and last one for now....mine & Brians Anniversary gift & birthday gift from my brother and his GF.

Pisie,I understand you are moving to a new house?
What will become of your gardens?

I'll move most of the stuff down back with me. I'll leave some up here....and i've already bought 3 new JMaples and a few others for the new house. :)

I'd be strolling all the time at your house, Pixie

nice celeste!

I don't think Jo realizes it's a new house but on the same property

Just lovely Celeste

Jo, that allium is just lovely, and the tree peony is a wonderful color! Pixie, love the dark red irises! Also the wellhouse....had mine repaired this year, & it needs to be painted....

Thanks Jen.That explains a lot. I couldnt leave the gardens here. When I do I will be permanently out of touch.

glad you got your stroll in Celeste... and we can enjoy your photos!!

Glad to have cleared that up for you, Jo ;)

Tanecetum, St. John's wort, and 3 little cuties- Maggie, Hadley, Clara

VERY cute

They are garden gems! Here are clems that opened....a huge Blue Light, Ibi, & Silver Moon.....

Don't know if anyone else has seen this plant...it's a phlox hybrid...along with heuchera Citronelle.....

I like the short phlox

this is from Michele.. wants to know if it's a hollyhock or not.. must be from a swap

yes, Hollyhock. Looks like ones I have.

thanks... I don't see mine in the back yard... and the one in my front yard is only a couple of leaves sticking out of the ground.. guess that lack of full sun strikes again

:(

Is that phlox mildew resistant?

Marilyn is that phlox Aureole?

I think that plant is a malva...hollyhock cousin....Jo, it doesn't say on the tag, only that it's a Proven Winner, phlox hybrid.....since it's an annual phlox, there wouldn't be a mildew problem....

TBI, Sibs are starting to bloom, & verbascum Caribbean Crush.....

LOVE Verbascum

Beautiful pics, everyone. Love the verbascum and the dwarf iris pics. I need more of both.

Karen

Nice verbascum Marilyn. Dont you also have Violette?

the iris & verbascum are perfect together RD

Thanks....I do have violette, Jo, and chaxii album, Southern Charm, & a few phoenecium hybrids.....I planted a few seeds of verbascum yesterday....I'll see what comes up....

The first DL of the year Stella De Oro, my FAVORITE Coreopsis 'Jethro Tull' and another shot of Nepeta

I had no idea Hollies get flowers(little as they are surprised I even noticed them), Itsaul Dianthus, Foxglove inside slowly turned pink, Red Hot Poker(Kniphofia), Daphne(odora 'Aureo-marginata' ) liking the spot I put her in

Pirl and I were just compareing notes on how much shorter lilies are this year. Many of mine are at least 18 inches or so and the Martagones are half the size they were last year.One isnt blooming and I dont see any buds on the Backhouses.
Other perennials seem un changed.

still don't see 6 foot lily or black beautys... guess the hurricane & snow storm were too much for them.. maybe ??

guessing.. weeds??.. didn't look familiar to me

all my other shots from yesterday
