What's blooming today? #9

Dave,

Wow, that means alot to me that you would ask about Kazz. No, he hasn't returned and unfortunately I don't think he's going to :(

I sure hope you enjoy your visit to Maine :) You're coming to Maine and we're going to Massachusetts to go to Six Flags *lol* Not this week but next week hubby is on vacation :)

Oriental 'Siberia'

Dave..I cheat. I open 2 pages at the same time and do it that way.
Thanks Kim....the statue behind it a lamppost.

'Siloam Gumdrop'

Sorry to hear that Kim. Was hoping for a miracle. I panic when Crash runs out the door. He's an inside only cat.

Oriental 'Mojave'

Ooh - sneaky Celeste! Never thought of that.

'Sea Treasure'

One of my Lily beds after the rain so they don't look so pretty when they are all wet and runny.

Next week for us too. So you will practically be in CT and I'll be in ME. I think that provides balance.

Now you know one of my secrets Victor.

'Black Beauty'

Blue flower seed mix

Dave, why don't you and Kim just meet halfway? Seems reasonable.

Graham Thomas rose

This was also in the blue seed mix.

This was in the same blue seeds.

'Love Flower"

All of your photos are great but Mojave is glorious and the name I couldn't think of since the label is missing. The squirrels must have a grand collection of them.

I can't seem to capture the beauty of this glad!

Thank you pirl...you have Mojave too? Did you get it from Fogbelt Growers before they went out of business??


I can't find the tag to this one and it's driving me nuts.

'Lavender Gem'

Glad

'Sans Souci'

I do have Mojave and that's why I wanted the name.

PollyK is excellent (super excellent) at identifying lilies so when she arrives I bet she can tell you the name of your beautiful pink one.

Mojave is one of my favorites. Where's Polly???
I need her to ID several. Like this one that did not match the tag.

'Starfighter'

I think this is ....darn im drawing a blank and it's too wet to go outside. I might melt...Sealtest/Celeste

One more glad.

Noid

OK...this is making me hungry, time for a snack.

Celeste, I can only envision what your gardens must look like. A lamp post? That is SO SO pretty!!

Dave, I hope you have a WONDERFUL time in Maine :) There is the Bull and Claw in Wells too for "family" type atmosphere :)

Victor, my daughter is now talking ChinChilla? OMG Still, every now and then I think I see something move while I'm outside and it's never Kazz. Unfortunately because he was all white, he didn't camoflauge well at all..... :(

I do the same thing as you when I post pictures, I open up 4 or 5 browsers and then use them in consecutive order *lol*. I don't resize my pictures so it takes FOREVER sometimes.

Beginning to feel a bit like fall now and then here. The daylilies are blooming but much more sporadic now and less blooms that previous weeks. So sad.

Are you all winter sowing this year? I am going to do a few pots but had really good luck direct sowing this spring so I may do 1/2 and 1/2.

I haven't posted in a while, but I've just caught up with all the posts. LOVELY photos everyone! I especially love Victor's photo of the leaves outlined with raindrops! Pixie, your lilies are so gorgeous, and I never stop being amazed that you have more and more to post everyday!

It's so rewarding to see my gardening paying off by attracting birds and butterflies that I haven't seen in my yard before.

Celeste has such lovely blooms! It must be heaven around her home.

Kim, I forgot to say that I am sorry to hear about Kazz. My wishes are with you that he comes back safe, and soon.

Here is Asclepias curassavica living up to it's common name, Butterfly weed.

I just love the way this zinnia seems to have every shade of pink!

Wow, I'm not a Zinnia person but that one is stunning! Very nice :)

That is a stunning Zinnia.

Neither am I but I do agree - wow! Great multi-tone.

I never wintersowed. What's the advantage over starting seeds indoors or direct sowing outside in Spring?

I've read the cons on it Victor - in some cases all the seeds come up and then it's a problem for planting since they're so tiny. Many people feel they have to plant the entire package.

That zinna IS beautiful and I love the shot of the butterfly on the butterfly weed.
