Garden Gems 2012 #7

lovely shots again today!!.. Celeste the moss rose are easy to collect and sow.. I collect them when the pods are brown and just start to split open.. open too much and they dump seeds all over .. so timing is everything

a billion pics

Beautiful Allison, love your Blue Glory! Mine bloomed today.

OMG Allison those are wonderful HUGE containers!!! Love what you did with the stump. ^_^

oohh that was a different stump.. sorry for the confusion

Ronnie mine were slow growing this year.. nice shots of it

Beautiful Allison.The caladiums are just fantastic and the BES vine reminds me I didnt plant that this year.
Coleus look great too,everything is really lush.

thanks JoAnn...the besv are crazy... see it all the way up the Hope fence??.. guess the tree down might be good.. they never grow that well for me

Mine went nuts. I bought a potted one and it went into the evergreen tree.

nice allison

Allison, the caladiums just glow.....love the lobelia, too! Jo, loved the hollyhocks in that garden!

I wish it was earlier in the season.I couldnt ID very many of the mature plants.I think I saw a little Mallow in there or Mullen.

Bill's caladiums are outstanding this year!!.. he just gets better and better

I have to plant more for next summer.....

Love the pictures of blue flowers. So far my Salvia Patens Blue Angel has done nothing.

Japanese Picotee morning glory, some hibiscus and only the leaves so far on my Vigna Caracalla.

I have some salvia just starting to bloom....that dark purple MG is very pretty!

nice Teri!!!

Love that deep purple MG, the red hibiscus is nice too!

Pretty Teri, love the morning glory!

Berrylicious, Blue River, Kopper King, Pep Schnapps, Plum Crazy

Lovely!!!

Some Cannas

Thanks Celeste.

My morning glories are begining to pop!

Bought these as "Lavender Picotee"

Hatsu Arashi

This one "Shibori white" I love!

OMG! Love them all!!

Thanks!

go Ronnie.. go Ronnie.. all awesome!!

Aww thanks Allison!

Beautiful,I might try canas next year. Brent and Becky have some nice ones

This two were determined to bloom together.......is there a message here???? ^_^
"JERSEY GIRL" & "MEMORABLE KISS"

Awww!

aaawww

Beautiful blooms. I'm doing mostly clean up from the recent storms that took out a big old willow. Not a lot blooming right now.

Does anyone know if there is such a cultivar as a short white frilly Gladiola? 18" or shorter would be good.

deck garden today

Beautiful blooms, Ronnie. I lost my canna, honeysuckle and a red crape myrtle that were too near the generator when it went on for a few days. I was in the outdoor room and the fumes almost got me too before I realized what was going on.

great shots ronny - i have no success with hardy hybiscus because of the lace worms - and have decided against using the bayer chemicals as they have been linked to bee hive deaths - so good to see some pictures

Beautiful, as usual, ge.

Really like that Flap Jack Kalanchoe.

I'm tempted to give up all the hard work in the gardens and just do the pots on the deck!!

Deck gardening is in my future for sure.

Ronnie, awesome photos! Like Bill, my hibiscus was eaten .....Jo, I have ordered dwarf cannas that I keep in a pot....they would be lovely on your deck with the rest of those beautiful containers!
