The clematis are definitely addictive Victor. I'm hoping I can hold back next year, at least 'till I know what space I have left. I want to plant some other vines. Now that I think of it, I bet some clematis would look great on my forsythia....
Change of subject... my Kousa Dogwood has a low branch that is drooping since the storm last week and hasn't picked itself up like it usually does... think I should cut it off? The branch is on the lower left.
That branch is coming off at a weird angle anyway so I think it might have to come off eventually anyway. I prefer single trunks when possible. That's really a judgment call. I would remove it. It doesn't represent too high a percentage of the total growth so it's probably okay from that point of view. You might want to try the experts on Trees & Shrubs though.
Just took some night shots. Here's Rose 'Prairie Princess'.
Hydrangea.
My favorite color, just beautiful!
Acer palmatum 'Autumn Moon'.
Okay, I'll try it in Trees and Shrubs.
What beautiful colors you have there Victor. My hydrangeas are nowhere near that far along in their blooming process.
Thanks Celeste and Harper. Here's the Fretwell Clematis again.
Beautiful flowers. Love the arbor, Victor - do you have a photo showing the whole arbor. The honeysuckle on it in bloom is nice!!
Nice flowers!
Pixie, I have the same rugosa and spiderwort.
Nice night shots Victor
Cheating is allowed, so I took some photos at Olbrich Gardens in Madison yesterday
Clematis
Check out this viburnum - a variagated lantana
I don't even know what this was - I like the photo though
this rose pic washed out a bit in the sun, they have a LOT of roses
more roses
Never seen this before - Fishtail palm
Nice Al. Last one looks like dreadlocks.
I like how the water beads glow.
I Love that Fishtail Palm! Very unique and colorful.
Holy moly mon!
Yeah, except he's not a rastafarian, mon! He's my favorite flower. (Shhhhh! Don't tell him I said that!)
great pics everyone. Victor I'm jealous that your hydrangea are in bloom already - mine have buds though.
That one is just starting. It's the first one of the year.
Nice pictures Al. I work in Madison. Should have stopped in!
Do ya? I was stopped out though to tell the truth.
Well, I guess it's a different Madison. I think that is the most common city/town name in the states.
Probably - Dolly Madison had quite a subtle influence on our country.
James loved her cupcakes.
and her ho ho's?
Oh she invited friends??
He loved her theme park: Dollywood
Loved her llama too.
I thought Dollywood was Dolly Parton's themepark, not Dolly Madison's...
And the Dolly Llama?
Harper, It's Victor and me. Sometimes we're not serious. ;>)
I still have a thing for Little Debbie.
Dave - will you get serious ;)
I hear she's a real snack! ;0
Al, that's dangerous talk! The FBI may be knocking on your door.
Sorry Dave! Sometimes I'm slow to get the joke...
Harper, that's because the jokes are so baaaaaad.
My Weigela 'French Lace' is in full bloom
Thanks Jan! I knew I could count on you.
Nice Weigela. I don't have one yet. It's been on my list for a while now... well, the list is growing longer and longer and longer...
