What's Growing, Part 4

Anita - I mean they are for my records of what plants look like or for plantfiles, not every picture is special I guess.

Tarahiti Sunrise my camera is struggling with getting the orange right on, nice flower.

This is Pink Gingham

Al ~ Nice peachy-orange color, I love it. I think you did a great job with that photo.

This is "Persian Shrine" it was a bonus gift.

I like "Pink Gingham" nice viberant pink!

"Tino's" is really showing off her colors this morning!

"Ollie Star" was another bonus plant.

Pink Mallow

I have no idea what this one is but I like the pink tones to it.

This one is a lot like the last one but more peachy colored. Lost the tag to this one too!

Better picture of "Border Lord"

Al ~ I have grown Dahlia's every year for the last 3 years, but only once did my corms make it in storage. How do you store them so they don't rot or dry up???

This is what I woke up to, it's almost to bright for the first thing in the morning.

Pixie, I think that would keep you warm on a cool day! Beautiful combo.

gram

Nice combination, Pixie.

Pixie,
I store my dahlia in peat moss in my noninsulated attic. That works well, I did try wrapping some in saran wrap last year and those got moldy - I think the temperature changes caused condensation - the peat absorbs that better for me.

Here's White Swan at peak

Pixie - how big is that bed? They are nice and bright! I love it.
Al - which would you say is your favorite Echinacea?

My first tomato is coming.
Andy P

Very nice Andy! I have a cherry tomato about the same color!

Anita,
Well for now it is Ruby Giant, big flower on a big plant - although there are quite a few

Sunrise and a few that I need to watch over a year are close.

Here's one that won't go in my 'book'

trying to get a pic of my Double Click cosmos in a light breeze - oops

actually, thats kinda neat Al.

Here's the good one. These are cool.

They are cool - I agree with Pixie that the windy one is very neat!

Wait, I think I have one!

Another:
Forgot the name, its asian

Still not able to zoom so I'm not sure how my adenephora will show up.

See the frog near the closed waterlily?

The water lily

And finally:

Holy Cow Dave...I'm impressed!!!!!!

Pixie, Thanks, Spiderman is one of my favs, And it'It does' really stand out! I had 3 blooms on it today, It looked awsome!

Grampapa, I'm really not that good at picture taking ( But I keep trying lol) The best I can say is, I never take a pic in the afternoon ( Way too bright for a good picture!) I usually take them in the early evening and then brighten them up a bit and sharpen them, It seems to work better for me, Especially with the reds, Though with some, I still do find it a little hard to get just the right color. I know you have paint shop, Do you use the color/contrast/sharpen tool when you work on your pictures? I tend to use them quite a bit with mine, I think it helps a lot.

Anita, Thanks, I keep trying, But the pics dont always come out like I want them too.

Pixie, Your "Amethyst Temple" looks just like one I have called Casa Blanka, Does your Amethyst Temple have a really strong fragrant smell? Your GD's lillies are so pretty!! What is the name of them?
I just love "Broken Heart", I've always favored light colors with dark eyes and that ones a beauty! Just to let you know, I sometimes have a change in color on some of my yarrows too.

BigcityAl, I enjoyed your pic of the Ligulana, I used to have that plant but lost it a couple years ago, I didn't replace it because it just didn't seem to do that well for me. ~Lovely pic of the Rudbeckia!

Grampapa, Looks like you've been having quite a bit of fun!!Love the Garden Fairys and Flowers! Especially the one with the butterfly on the Daisy! And I see Strawberry Candy is there too!!

Pixie, Centerfold is a Beauty!! Don't know the name on the1st lost tag DL, But, It sure is a nice form and color! All the DL's were nice!

Bigcityal, That 'Bea Paradise" stands out there!! ~All were nice!

Dave, "Congrats, You did it!!!" And I enjoyed the photos! Hope to see more! ( Your 'Asian" looks a lot like the one pixie posted above)
