Garden Gems 2012 #7

How about a white clematis?, Geranium Biokovo, Dianthus Itsaul, Daylily 'Joan Senior', Campanula(Alba, Carpathian White, White Clips), don't forget white blooming bulbs, daffodils, crocus, hyacinth, muscari, tulips

I like Crazy Lady!

Leopard Lily 'Freckle Face'
And another one of our glads.

pretty blooms again today everyone... how about white balloon flowers.. I have tons!!!

I've never grown leopard lilies....very nice! I'm thinking my choke cherry is trying to tell me something....this came down today, on the opposite side from the first limb....we had no wind, just heavy rain....not walking underneath this baby anymore!

yeah that looks like it checking out

Yep I'm thinking it's life is over

Anyone want to swap something white for a small clump of Crazy Lady? I think I could split these 3 clumps into six trades.

I'd like the baloon flowers.

I will dmail you

great

HEAVY rains last night made short work of some of our unstaked Glads...had to go cut some and bring 'em in to vase. Not that we mind, they look great...

Pretty...here's one of mine....

such a shame they always seem to get beat up.. beauties!!!

I must say, I like these...Zinnia 'Candy Cane Mix'.

very pretty

I forgot to plant zinneas this year.I'll add that to my list.

they would look good with the peppermint moss rose Celeste gave me

I've never grown that variety of zinnia...I like it....grass has totally taken over my beds, so that you can't see the plants...unless they are very tall....even my delph, blooming now, was hidden...so was Raspberry Truffle echie, which I had no idea I had planted...photos tomorrow....

I'm with you on the weeds, they are just brutal. I noticed the goldenrod is starting to form flower heads and many of them are taller than I am, at a whopping 5'3". I have been diligently trying to tame this portion of the yard since May. I think I have to scale back what is humanly possible with only one human doing it all alone.
Most of the pictures have 5 gallon buckets ( for weed collection ) in them and the large brown 30 gallon container is for frogs, when I can't stand their noisy fighting I catch them and we transport them to another location. Even my sister and her husband complained about them this summer. At lst count we have moved 18 large dominant ones to the lake.

The glads are lovely, I forgot to plant mine this year. :(
Love that zinnia! I have/had the seeds but misplaced them along with alot of other things. LOL
Looks good Mittsy, nice big place to fill in. ^_^


Is anyone getting reblooms? My 'Lincoln Star' clem, 'Oso Easy Cherry Pie' ' rose, 'Victoria Grace' had a lull and she back at it again. One of my Tradescantia is reblooming and 'Moonlit Masquerade' sent up a new scape and blooms, I don't remember it ever doing that before.

I saw a rose out there.. haven't been wandering around much.. still leery.. love surprises like that!!

Not too many blooms that havnt been posted.I pixed Plants

looking good JoAnn

Cute frog story Mittsy....Pixie, I have Red Rambler & Brilliant Pink Iceberg reblooming....Jo, this is the time of year for pretty foliage, which you have.....My delph finally blooming, rebloom on a noid DL, Raspberry Truffle...not impressed with it.... a frit on my zinnia.......celosia I grew from seed.....

Give it time Robin, mine is looking a little rough after the rain......

Yours is much brighter, Pixie, but considering mine was covered by grass for the last month.....also, how tall is yours? It's supposed to be between 24 & 34"....mine is only about a foot high.....

Maybe 18", not very tall but i've only had it a year now.

Bill, love the lotus; that pond/stream is just amazing. Everyone else, just because I don't mention you doesn't mean I don't think your pictures are awesome, it is just so hard to keep up! I took a few shots of the overall look of the gardens by the house this week. Wish I had thought to water the coleus before the picture was taken, this was before it rained! Last image is closeup of Thuja occidentalis Rheingold. I'll probably have to move it soon to give it more space. It has been a very well-behaved conifer, does well through the winter and always looks good.

Notice to all ponders, I just offered water lilies on the water garden forum.

love the color of your thuja.. and the lilies are awesome!!

Looks lovely Wynne.
Those are gorgeous Mittsy

Newest garden phlox called 'Twister'
Echie
Noid phlox, this one gets around 5 ft or better
Salvia 'Pink Friesland'
Viola 'Etain' is still blooming, this is a top 10 viola!

Peppermint moss rose I bought a flat of this spring, it had some companion pink solid ones in with it. The were a great accent and I loved the combo they made. I am going to attempt to save the seeds...wish me luck!

My pink heather is blooming but seems to have an occupant residing in it!

Jen, I do believe we bought the same Hibiscus....just transplanted mine and it got much bigger!
