New room everyone. Come and show us whats blooming in your area.

I have roses, canna's, pride of barbados blooming and purple mexican petunias blooming.

I have petunias, blue flax, ditch lilies, white roses, crimson honeysuckle, crinum lily, prairie aster, hellebore, poker plant blooming. I need to get some photos.

Is that plumbago? Very pretty.

i keep looking for a "love/like" button i can push here LOL Beautiful!

Debra, the Staghorn you sent me has new growth. :)

aww that is great! I just was looking thru some pictures from 2012 when I got that fern, and it was so small .. LOL I just threw banana peels on it all summer for food as it was hanging in a tree.
So harpy my native flowers are starting to show off in my back yard. I bet I planted three thousand chicory seeds over a 5 year span and only one plant survived because the others were pulled out just because they look like dandelions when emerging.. makes me wonder if other plants were taken out because of that same problem.

Hubby has pulled many plants too, thinking they were weeds.

New blooms- Giant Allium,Southern Magnolia, Yellow Asia tic Lily, ORANGE lily, 'Tiny Spider' Lily

I didn't mean to post twice lol. Crazy smartphone!

Your pictures are not showing up?

They were there yesterday. Don't know what is up with that. I will have to try something else I guess.
I uploaded from my phone and they were all turned side ways. I am going to try another app on my phone and see if I can correct the silly things.

I lost the Southern Magnolia somewhere along the way, lol, I Added the backyard rainbow

There they are. Beautiful flowers.

Nice, Annette!

The pics show on my phone but not on the computer. What the heck???

Pretty flowers. I am buying a lot of annuals to make up for the lack of color in the new garden. I should just throw seed down, but the bed is not really turned and monitoring seeds in the ground not quite fast enough for my speed!

Really Nice flowers Annetee. I think we have the same tastes in plants :)

Thanks Debra! I enjoy watching my plants bloom and hope that you all enjoy the pics that I share.

I do! :-)

I love all the plants. Keep posting them.

I still can't get the old Spring Chat thread off my Watched List no matter what I do. :-(
I have to track this one down by going from thread to thread. So if I get lost, someone please come get me.

I have a fewe threads like that too. Make sure you click the watch icon at the top.

Pretty day! Wish I had time to just sit. I am still planting things, still bringing things home to plant, and going a little bit at a time. Amazed that with all the rain we've had I still have to water, but with new plants that is the way.

Hope you are all enjoying the day.

Glad you found us to post your beautiful garden pictures Keith.

I usually spend my time over on the Propagation Forum but it appears they all hibernated this weekend
Keith

Lots of Dg members have disappeared. Maybe because of Father's day?

Welcome Keith glad you could join us! LK, everyone must be out enjoying their gardens or if they are like me...playing catch up with the gardening chores.

Thanks guys
Near miss on losing it all last night. Two areas, one just 5 miles north of us and one 25 miles west had major wind and hail damage. Reports of hail up to baseball size. That could wipe out the beauty real fast.
Keith

OH NO! We had a real bad hail storm end of february. Not much was growing in the gardens then, but our cars sure took a beating. Glad to hear you are ok.

Can you see the size of the frog hiding in the fibre optic grass on my floating island. Huge for this area. May be more common in your parts. Water in the pond is just gross right now, contaminated from forest tent caterpiller that are falling in by the thousands. Our hardwoods are totally stripped right now. We have been skimming them out steady but can't keep up. Hopefully they have almost peaked.
Keith

Beautiful frog. I bet your fish love the free meals falling. We get those worms here once in awhile, and people go out with gas torches and burn them out of the tree.
