Some of my glads are just budding, Jen! My hydrangea tree is looking pretty this year...must be all the trimming I did in the spring... oxalis, cosmos Double Click, annual scabious, & a bright dahlia.....

That hydrangea tree is great!
Love that dark scabiosa

mine is loaded with buds too.

love em all RD!!

pretty marilyn

Love the color on that glad!
Pretty scabiosa, forgot how nice they were...next year...

Love your monarda and sedum, Jo. I have to move my dark sedum. Getting crowded by daylilies (go figure!).

Lovely sunflower, ridoodles!

I like the cyclamen, Jen.

Nice blooms at your place, Marilyn. Love the hydrangea tree.

Karen, crowded by day lilies at your place. I can't imagine such a thing!!! I smiled a BIG smile when I read that. It tickled me.

Lovely deck garden

Karen I liked your Mom's raspberry seedling.

Lovely flower pictures, all. rocks too Bill.

LOL! @ Jen

Thanks, Lucy!

Karen

yeah.. can upload 5 photos at once with the control key!!!.. love this new feature!!

sorry for the car in this thread.. got excited

how did you discover that??

never mind now I see it AWESOME!!! and it's about time

I saw the button looked different.. and had to click it

:)

It didn't work for me had to switch to Firefox. Not sure if I like it. I liked my favorites better with Explorer.

I just saw it will have to give it try.

Lookie

nice color!

The coleus really is beautiful this year, Jo!

thanx

Gorgeous Jo!

love that coleus with the green edge JoAnn!!

This is a weird thing to post, but I love the variety of mosses and fungi on this tree stump. They have thrived partly because the adjacent ferns provide shade, and partly because I water the adjacent Japanese maple seedling periodically, and send some water to the stump also.

The other picture is a Japanese anemone, 'Pamina'. I had never had an anemone before I bought this last year, and I really like how the flower heads are so graceful above the foliage.

I like moss.. Randy hates it.. we fight over him wanting to power wash the wall block that it's growing on here.. your anemone is very pretty!!

I like moss too, esp in the fairy gardens

I love moss.

Liking moss depends apon the place. I don't like it on the soil of the beds, but it is ok on trees & lawns.

Right -on mosses and leichens

Very nice coleus Jo!
I think you may have I.D. my anemone, 'Pamina looks more like the one I have than the name they gave me. I always suspected it was labeled wrong, now im almost positive!!

Here are a few still blooming this past week.....

Zella Virginia
Balloon Flower ~ These are almost invasive here this year....you wouldn't believe the babies I have!!!!!
Extravaganza Lily ~ this is one bulb in a pot that didn't get planted in time. It has 7 flowers on one stem!
Frans Hal

I like the new picture feature. :)

I. , 2., and 5 are all flowers from my radish's The white flower went with the white radish which was very mild. Pale purple went with the lighter purple radish and the flavor was med, the darker colored flower went to the darkest radish and that one was on the warm side. I found this very interesting but not sure if the color flower really has anything to do with how hot the radish will be. Anyone know?
3. & 4.) Purslane ~ Allison got me hooked on these last year, they are just stunning!

1&2) "Cradle of Bethlehem" ~ I am awed at the size and color of this daylily and the fact that it is a late season bloomer is a bonus!
3.) False Shamrock 'Atropurpurea'
4.) Agastache 'Heatwave' ~ it has survived it's 1st winter here and on it's second summer, hope it fills out some.
5.) Phlox and little white crab-spider

WOW Celeste the lily is beautiful!

I'm having a lot of trouble psoting pics, actually not even able to. If anyones else is haveing a problem can you post over here to let Terri know http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1276760/

Pixie, the Extravaganza lily is awesome, & Cradle of Bethlehem is going on my order list! I never noticed the difference in radish hotness & color of bloom, but you may be on to something......

very pretty Celeste!!!.. I am loving my purslane as well this year!!.. love heatwave!!!

Thanks everyone, im really liking that DL & Lily!
