Garden Gems 2012 #8

Very nice Celeste!

nice Celeste... the coleus in your last post.. I never got mine planted.. do you believe I saw them alive & unattended on the side of the house in the plug tray.. I put them in the shade over there to harden off.. and never got them planted with the ankle.. had to see my mouth gaping when I saw they are alive today

Thanks !!
Tough little plugs!

One of the new DLs from this spring is all budded...can't wait to see what it looks like....

changing color of the Coreopsis Comic Evolution

sedums

Sea Thrift...I didn't know this rebloomed this late, but I like it!!!!

Asters going strong

Loving this Dianthus, has not stopped blooming since spring

Love this Echi too Pow Wow Wild Berry

Patch of Cyclamen, something munching the leaves

I just transplanted this sedum today.Dug it at a friends house who didnt like the perennial garden that came with her new house. Its hard to understand but she wants all grasses.

Really like that thrift, Jen....your plants are still colorful....nice sedum, Jo......I don't why she would want all grasses either.....they can be invasive...

She sees no beauty in perennials.Its just not possible to me.

my sister had sea thrift at her house in OH.. it is a neat little flower.. love that Pow wow too Jen!!..

the sedum is pretty JoAnn!!

that pow wow looks nice - started some from seed this year, maybe next year flowers

I'm hoping next year will be better for my coneflowers....they were just awful this year....

They look bigger in person

Caryopteris

Another plant I can't grow! I've tried 3 times, & it dies out every winter.....

the Caryopteris??? I was worried about it cause that plant bug was munching away on it during the summer

On one of the back country roads there is a house that has a vine on a fence that just started blooming now, it is GORGEOUS dark purple, it doesn't look like a clem what could it be?

I need to remember to bring my camera and take a ride back out there, I really need to find out what it is

Local public gardens
If anyone can help with identifying some of the flowers would appreciate it

Jen I put some names in the comment section of the ones I knew.

me too.. think that last shot.. middle flower is scaveola anyway.. my best guess

I agree Allison, couldn't think of the name.
