What's Growing, Part 2

Yankee, Very nice show of lilies!

The lilies are beautiful. I thought at first that the yellow ones had wierd shaped petals until I realized that the tips were a similar orange to the others. They had blended in and caused a trick of the eye!

YankeeCat, that isn't by any chance 'Peaches n Dreams' hollyhock, is it? I love it! Very, very pretty. I need to get some :-)

I finally have something bloomin'..second spring for these shasta daisies 'Highland White Dream'. I was kind of disappointed with them last year. They were all single and not what I expected. But they are looking much better this year. I must learn to be patient with my perennials...I must learn to be patient with my perennials...I must learn........

Gram, Now that's a nice looking 'Civilized' Daisy.

Here is my Clematis 'Polish Spirit' in full bloom.

Gram,
They are beautiful! If it helps you any: I used up most of my patience while raising my 5 children, so there's not much left for the granchildren, never mind the perennials!
This is today's blooms for me, "Chicago Gold Coast"

and the lollypops are coming along great...so are the weeds!

silver mound:always wants more room than it is allowed.

this is "Justin Miller", first bloom is looking a little rough but it was shipped with this bud on it so I was pleased it even opened.

Ok, Andy. Now that's what we've been waiting to see! I knew that 'Polish Spirit' would be magnificent. I'm trying to imagine what kind of space some of you folks have. The long lists of daylilies, and walls of clematis. (do I sound jealous?). I am just loving these pictures. Pixie, there are just tons of buds on the Lollipops. I do keep a silver mound around in case I need something to pet ;-)

Pixie, the Lollipops look great. With all those buds coming, you better take another pic in a couple of days. Lollipop lovers want to see, LOL.

Grampapa, After I posted that pic I noticed that it would be near the end of this very active thread. Kinda fitting seeing the first pic was the same plant. Glad I got it in.
200 posts in only 10 days, wow.
I'll let someone else start 'part 3'.

Another wet flower pic.

grampapa - the hollyhock is a perennial - you are welcome to seeds later this summer. I always have tons of seeds. The rain broke the plant in the picture today. Sigh.

An unidentified daylily from my yard. (It was a mystery bonus with something that I bought.)

YankeeCat, I'm sorry the rain got your hollyhock. Glad you got a pic first, though. It's a beauty. Thanks for the seed offer. I don't think I have anything to trade, but I'd be more than happy to pay postage.

grampapa - email me your address c/o Dave Mail and I will send you a handfull when they are ready. I'm just happy to get them a new home.

Anyone for Nora Barlow Columbine seeds? There are dry pods on the plants already - and lots of them!

Yankee, I would love some Nora Barlowe seeds. You've got D-mail!

Me too yankee??

pixie62560 - just Dave mail me your address!

Here's a monster coreopsis volunteer from a plant last year.

My black hollyhock's are opening up.

My calla lillies are opening up too. This bed is becoming a columbine bed next year so I will be selling/trading these corms next year as I don't have a suitable spot.

Al, Nice plants! Like that coreopsis, love that hollyhock.

bigcityal - that coreopsis is a monster! I love it.

Ok - the sun was actually out this morning!!! Yippee!! Here are a few shots.

Anita, on that absolutely spectacular note, I'm going to go ahead and start a new thread
