Garden Gems 2012 #8

on my list of doesn't grow well here

thanks!!!!

Allison,maybe the white flower is a different variety but it doesnt look like the Scaveola I grow in planters.

Sorry nthats not it.
Try this one

not sure babe.. was guessing

Absolutly.Same here on the coreopsis Zagreb.Closer shots would help but I think a few id's is better than none.
Scaveola is also called FanFlower.

lobelia is the only other one i can think of with that flower shape.. but not sure if there is one with that growth habbit.. all mine flower up the thick stem.. not single like that

I had no clue as I think of lobelias as a annual,yet I have a few that are perennials.

Ronnie you still have a lovely array of color in your garden!

Mornin Pixie and Allison.

I purposely went there to see what was still blooming, but most of what was blooming seemed to be annuals, I can't believe they go thru all that work of planting annuals each year

I thought that white one was some type of Guara

some shots from today

some more

So pretty...is that balsam in the bottom row?

yes.. first time I grew them.. just love em!!!

NICE!!

Very nice!

Celeste I am not sure if I gave you any of those or not.. Impatiens double Camilla was on the tag.. they self sow too!!!

Beautiful Allison!!

thanks

Your containers always look great

thanks babe

Did you start the balsams indoors, Allison? I might try some....remember my Dad growing them.....

only a few.. the rest I just tossed some seeds around.. they flowered a bit late.. but not bad at all .. going to see about collecting seeds from them .. if there is enough time

Allison, love the coleus planters. What is the blue plant in with them?
Wynne

If anyone is nuts about agastaches ,this is Raspberry Summer. The color is so deep and rich.My camera doesnt do it justice.

That one is a beauty, Jo!

Love it JoAnn!!... The blue one is plectranthus Mona lavender

a quick pic with my phone.. have a revisit from immortal

Pretty!

My cannas are still looking pretty good, heart leaf ivy bloom, mexican sunflower...love these will do them again next year!

I love the color change my morning glories get from the cooler weather!

that's neat that the color changes

Something different every day. It only happens when it gets cool.

Very pretty blooms......my DL opened up but I didn't get a photo....maybe tomorrow I'll have one opened.....

These are some my fall favorites as of two days ago. Camelia Winter's Joy is thriving so far, and now covered with buds. Mango Mist hibiscus is my reliable bloomer all year. The giant elephant ears--are. Little lime hydrangea has wonderful deep pink edging as it gets colder. And last is a side view of my hill with small headed sunflowers, and a caladium pot with black willow.

Some fall blooms here

Very nice...love the basket of gourds....have not put anything out on my porch yet....just lazy, I guess.....

very pretty Jen!!!.. love the fall babies!!!

Nice Jen!!

Loving these fall blooms everyone! Morning glories are especially nice!! ^_^
