Sally---NOOOOOO! That is NOT a match.
My red DL does not have any green in the "throat"....
Geez! It should not be so hard to ID this one! It has been around forever.
Here is another picture.....
Summer flowers
Oh sorry! I didn't mean to show you THAT one. I had used the selections down the right side and chose a page of reds, and 'thought' I got the link to that page.
Maybe King of Hearts?

What a cutie!!!
Beautiful pics, everyone. Jen, you make me so sorry that I didn't put in any Caladiums this year.
Ditto!
I posted this in Plant ID but didn't get any suggestions. Any idea what this is? It looks so familiar. The photo was taken a month ago, in Chevy Chase Maryland.
Another question -- do you think this is a Nepeta (catmint)? Again, I posted it in Plant ID and got a response that it might be a Nepeta. But the leaves don't look quite right -- though I'll have to go back for a closeup. The photo was taken two days ago.

happy - re photo 1 - when you rub the leaves does it have a basil type scent? Had you previously had basil around that area. Mine all reseeded in the deck planter I had incl the lemon basil that has that light scent. Would be interesting to see what type of bloom comes up
I don't think it is a basil, but I'll go back and check. (It was in a pretty yard and I took the photo on the fly.)
pic ain't all that good of this either. anyway "Big Red" hibiscus
--My KK Hibiscus keeps getting bigger and bigger- Starting to bloom this week.
--Tiger Lilies
--Carpet Rose bloom cluster
I like the form and shape of that hibiscus. Preetty!!
The tiger lilies that looked like that decades ago may once been near the most popular flower ever, if they are hybrids now it is still nicer than ever to see them!!
The carpet rose is nice too!! Your flowers all seem to have a nice cooling effect.NICE!!!
I like my red hibiscus because it attracts the hummingbirds,it has not done near as well as some older varieties I have grown before though.
juhur, nice! We used to call them 'dinner plate' How long does each bloom last?
Gita, how old is your KK bush now? What special treatment do you give it?
Also, on your old fashioned red daylily id. According to my search, the first two red daylilies introduced were 'ruffles red' and 'ruby throat' in 1953 and 1959 respectively. http://www.heirloomorchardist.com/the_heirloom_orchardist/the-heirloom-daylily-or-day-lily.html
I had no idea that there are over 45,000 different daylily cultivars with more being introduced each day. Makes my chance of guessing which one you have from a picture mighty slim, even if I was a student of daylily! I'm much better with coleus lol. There are only about a thousand named varieties of them!

ONE BLOOM ,ONE DAY Last year there was about three weeks worth of blooms,this about five or six days is going to be about all. Plants are smaller and there are not as many canes as there would usually be.Everything seems to conserving energy,redundant sounding theme of recent times.
Happy that looks like Agastache
Really? Which -- the first or the second photo? That makes sense, because I've never grown it!
oops sorry, the 1st one
Thanks!
Happy, I believe it was David Greenthumb that was offering 'Golden jubilee' at our plant swap.
Your pic made me think of another golden plant : centarea "gold bullion'. Any chance you can cruise back by where you first spied it and check out any blooms? That sure would tell alot!
Your second "stump the ID ers "pic does look like a low growing catmint nepata to me--- after being rained on before it pops back up! Since the flowers don't shout BLUE to me it may be one of the white flowered cultivars?? Or just very sun faded? Flowers are not like oregano flowers but are like mint family spikes.
Thanks for letting me play. You have an eye and an attraction for the unusual and different! Cool.
Remember in May--I posted this for an ID.
I believe Happy ID'd it as a Nepata cat Nip.
I still do not know where it came from. Gita
Coleup -- I realized after I posted it that I don't recall where I took that particular photo (photo #1)!!!! Bad me. So now I can't track it down. Usually I am fairly careful to mark the location, but not that one!
I can't find an Agastache photo that looks like photo #1, though. I think you might be right that it is a Centarea, and "Gold Bullion" sounds like a great guess. This photo looks much like the one I posted (though details are obscured on both photos): http://www.soonerplantfarm.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.plantDetail&plant_id=1119
I've been meaning to start a thread on plants with yellow foliage. I have very recently become infatuated with them.
Coleup -- thanks so much for the input!!!

Do you think this is also a Centarea?
are those edges on the last one smooth or serrated?
I don't know -- it looks as if the edges are smooth (based on the photo), but I can't be sure. I took the photo with my Blackberry, which doesn't give great resolution, and the garden it grows in is about a mile away from my house so I can't just go outside and take a peep. That garden got me completely inspired -- not much is in bloom right now, but the variation in foliage color is huge, with lots of yellows and lots of strong foliage, which makes the whole garden "pop."
I'll make a point of checking.
at first glance it looked like a Buddleia to me, but they have serrated leaves
happy - just ignore my oddball sense of humor but something about you saying you're normally careful to mark the location...LOL
LOL LOL Chantell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh, I hope that's not how she marks her locations!! Haahahahahaahaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
It is mighty suspicious speedy since in another post she talks about "not being able to go outside to take a peep"!!
Gives a whole new meaning to golden leaved plants doesn't it!
rofl!!
LMBO Coleup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You crack me up!!!!!!!!!! < =D
Hey,
I'm not taking any credit...Chantell started it (or was that Happy????)
I'm just going with the flow !
And, speaking of Chantell, she has lots of dogs, BIG ones and she keeps planting fragrant plants in her little spit of a townhouse yard......hummm just sayin she may know more than she's telling about this marking plants thing!
And, I'm (still giddy from rainfall here and lack of sleep) just sitting here recalling that it was Happy who just recently bought oodles of fancy 'plant markers' which she offered to share at Hollys swap. Seems this marking behavior isn't new....and is expanding to even out of state!
PS If I had a working camera and photo program I would be posting pictures of beautious blooms. Enjoying this thread while I wait. Judy
Well here"s one my big fails,waited 4 years to see this bloom red as the first bloom appeared today,the plants dwarf like stella'd'oro with blooms about 3 times larger,nice big bloom size I like though; only with a phssst,and yick. What a bummed out dissapointment. I posted this on another thread earlier.
not really a good pick either,oh well.
Click the image for an enlarged view. Laughter scale 12 (rofl) !!!!!! to marking.
I have two cockapoos who have me trained on the best methods for marking!
What happens in the Mid Atlantic, stays in the Mid Atlantic!
REALLY? I lived for two and half years at Aberdeen MD. near all the BIG "G" ,it all didn't exactly stay there,and or me either.
Invasive species studies around the perimeter of the Chesapeake Bay.
rotfl
Uh - uh...wasn't me.... twas Happy, I swear!!
On marking...said large dogs have back yard (ok they share it with a few plants NOT used for medicinal or culinary purposes) - the Alpha Dog (read: ME) gets the front yard. NO marking allowed there or castration may be enforced.
Ouch!
BTW, my photo #2 (posted July 11, 2012 at 08:10 AM) is definitely a Nepeta (catmint); I went back to look at it and the leaves have the characteristic jagged edges. Still not sure about my photo #1 (http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=9201360). I'm sorry for hijacking this thread for plant ID questions.
