Garden Gems 2012 #6

I see a couple of familiar ones there Ronnie.. glad they are good!!!.. the town planted Cleomes in mass along the exit ramp near my house... Randy really likes them.. might be a good one for the tree stump area for next year

the spider web one is cool!!!

I love them Allison and so do the hummers. Plant a few and you will have them forever. I'm still trying to find a real dark purple.

These are yours too...

And thanks for the compliment!

strange thing is.. I have planted them many times before.. never had them reseed.. yeah more pretty shots!!.. if you deadhead that yellow biddens.. it will thank you btw.. keeps going and going if you do

I forgot my fave late astilbe Pumila

Oh, dear! More plants for my wish list! Lovely photos, Pixie, Ronnie, & Jo......

Containers are beautiful Jo!

thanks Celest.

I have been enjoying all these "gems" being posted here while in Boston for more medical tests. I knew spending a few hours just looking at lovely blooms would cheer me up. It did. Thanks. I think I passed and am feeling fine, just a bit sore. On Thursday I took some shots of mostly lilies in bloom in our Nantucket garden, so here is a link. They aren't labeled yet, sorry, but enjoy.

Hope you passed too Patti! :) Your lilies are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks all who are posting the beautiful blooms, guys. My few lilies are doing well and succeeding one another in bloom this year, with the toad lilies planned for last. The orienpets by the road attract the walkers and joggers. Nymph came out very strong in the back yard (Celeste suggestion).Lots of wasp creatures, no red lily beetles. Sorry I'm not posting. There's a reason, but it's too hard to explain for now.

Tipppeee for your outcome Patti and Yippeee for lilies.

Best Wishes Patti and your Lilies are Delicious!!

Love the containers Jo!

Hope all is well Rosemary(((♥)))

(((hugs))) Patti

Sorry to hear that Rosemary, hope everything turns out well. I hope 'Nymph' at least made you smile. ^_^

#1. Short little lily, forget the name, it only comes up to my knees but boy does it bloom!
#2.The gazebo
#3. My red, white & blue combo's are finally filling in.....only a few weeks late. ;)
#4. 'Fire On The Mountain'
#5. 'Siloam Gumdrop' or 'Siloam Shocker' I always get them mixed up!!

Double hugs, Patti.....beautiful lilies....loved the yellow Turk's Cap! Here are a few lilies....the white is Siberia, the pink one of the Pixie series.....tall ones are Conca d'ors.....

Very nice, Pixie....that yellow is a lovely soft color! Here are a few DLs...Candy Dwyer, the rest noids....

Love Candy Dwyer and that last one!!!!

'Gadsden Greensleeves'
'Little Grapette'
'Landini'
Noid
'Siloam Double Classic'

Couple of combos I like......

Ooohhh, I like them too!!!!!

Me too!!

Jo, your deck is looking fabbo, and Patti, your lilies are so scrumptious looking, I just want to eat them up.

Celeste, are your blue phlox really that blue? If so, I need some. I have so many gorgeous phlox in bloom right now. They are looking so fantastic this year, as are the daylilies. I'm having such a wonderful daylily season, and I'm selling quite a few, too. I made another $110 today in sales. Not a lot of customers, either, but they are spending money. I'm purchasing a few goodies for the gardens with that extra green. I love that short little lily that only comes to your knees. Ultra cute! I love your Fire On The Mountain and Please Say Yes daylilies. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your combo shots!!!!!!

Patti, is everything okay? I guess I must have missed something. Maybe you posted on the coffee break thread, which I haven't had a chance to check in about a week, maybe longer. So easy to get behind. Hope all is well.

Hope all is well with you too, Rosemary. Take care, both of you.

Marilyn, love your lilies and DL's. The first red NOID might be Red Volunteer, if it's a fairly tall one. RV is about 30" tall. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/102198/ I think the next one might be Paper Butterfly. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/220578/

Here are some from my gardens.

2 shots of Rocket Booster, Delightful Treasure, Roswitha (the double) and Coral Fireworks, Startle (looking startlingly good).

Karen

A new one for me this year called New Series, another new one that is now a NOID unless I can figure out what it is (might have been a bonus), King Size, Martha Reed, Margaret Seawright.

Karen

I figured out what that NOID above is. It's Fox Hunter, and it was a bonus. Nice bonus!

Purple NOID (I believe it is a daylily by G.H.Wild), 2 shots of Here Today, 2 shots of Panocha.

Karen

Good news, Karen on the DL sales. And pretty pics!

I like that 'New Series' alot, and your 'Panocha' reminds me of 'Carolina Sunrise'. Your GH Wild noid....'Mulberry Marvel' maybe?

great shots Celeste & Karen!

Very nice! Neither one of those names seems familiar, Karen, but I may have forgotten. Pixie, that last noid had to be a freebie because I've never ordered a double DL......

Everyone's gardens look great, mine are already coming to an end :(
Seen some crape myrtles around our area blooming already

Jo what is in the container combo pic #5?

I stuck some caladiums in the fairy garden with new planted Ajuga Sparkler, Monarch on the buddleia, and a Viceroy

Container is Jungle Love,Apocolips,Tr.Green Olives
