Whats blooming today? #4

Isn't it amazing? This one's also called 'Harper's too lazy to go look at the tag'

Hey, I know this name! 'Chianti'

They sold this to me as Hydrangea Petiolaris. Isn't that a climbing hydrangea? Am I mistaken or did they send me the wrong hydrangea?

daylily 'tawny', aka, 'ditch lily'

Harper...you've been holding out on us! Very nice blooms, I love "President" and that gnome.

Dave, could your Lily be "Centerfold"?

the label said this monarda 'raspberry wine' would grow to 30". It's about 70" now. How'd that happen?

WOW! What did you feed it? It really is stunning though!

Thanks Celeste! I have just now found the time to take pics. They're from this morning!

Stella D'Oro's still going strong

I gotta look up what I fed it. Thanks!

coreopsis 'moonbeam'

big echinacea

russian sage

DL 'russian ragtime'

I LOVE your lilies, Harper - and the clemantis, President, is gorgeous.

Thanks Michaela!

Sonfonisba...great pics!!! I especially love that Cancun lily! Gorgeous! Tamara

Looks great Harper!! Funny I have many of the same plants only mine are called 'Victor is too lazy...'! That Hydrangea is definitely not petiolaris - it looks like a regular macrophylla. I have Raspberry Wine that's doing well also - but not 70"!!

Celeste, I don't think that one was 'Centerfold' - I didn't see any staples. Of course, all centerfolds require closer examination.

I LOVE how beautiful your Hydrangea is Harper :)

Victor...I really should of caught that when I typed it, getting slow in my old age.


Baby's Breath

This is the Pink Mallow plant this year....comes up to my chest.

"Bridgeton Hoopla"

"Siloam June Bug"

My rose is opening very slowly but im not complaining!

"Magic Lace"

Climbing Blackeyed Susuan vine

'Siloam Sugar Time"

Astilbe

Lilies poping out all over.

Celeste, please just tell us which DLs you DON'T have!! Very nice.

Harper - Like your Sea Holly, mine is a generic floppy one - how is yours? Your red/white & blue pic with the President is nice. That is big monarda - I think mine is 4' or so. Your hydrangea isn't right. I think I have the one you mentioned - I could get a pic(no Flowers yet)

Neter - Looks good, you must be getting slow in your old age.

Dave - Hi Dave

nice yellow lily.

Celeste - I like Bridgeton Hoopla and Magic Lace

Harper, I forgot to say - I have 'Early Sunrise' that not only does well, but is always re-seeding and popping up in the general vicinity. It's not a nuisance though. It thrives on neglect. Very drought tolerant once established (most famous words in gardening!). If you get them going okay, try moving some of your Shasta Daisies near them - they make a nice combo.

Looks like I missed a lot this weekend while camping. I quickly browsed through the pics to try and catch up and they are all beautiful. I'm lucky to still have anything standing after two bad storms on Friday. Here is a new daylily I have, called Wine Delight. I took the pic before the first storm because I was afraid it was going to be ruined. We went to our camp site between the two storms. When I get a pic from my daughter of what is left of a tree after lightning struck it (in the campgound we were at), I'll post it. "The tree ain't blooming anymore"!! Lightning from the first storm also struck a house about a mile from where I live and burned it. Very scarey storms. Eleanor

where do you go camping, Eleanor? DH and I love camping.

As usual - amazing photos. I thought of all of you today. I went to the Planting Fields Arboretum today with my friend. http://www.plantingfields.org/ . Here are some pics..

Celeste and Al - I thought of you guys especially...

last one

Wow, I miss PF so much. I have to make a pilgrimage there one day. I don't remember those light colored gravel walkways. Thanks for posting that Anita.

Looks like a great time, nice pics as usual. Probably a bit early for a lot of dahl;ias open there - I thought that was Steve N's dahlia home.


I can't compete with that
here is my climbing hydrangea Harper

My wife's forget me not is in full bloom now

Here are the puffballs piling up.

That Forget Me Not looks well looked after, Al.
