What's Blooming? #14

heather

Soft Summer Night reblooming

Yarrow, was peach when I bought it 5 yrs. ago, I think it reverted back to it's original color.

"Kalahari Jewel' on a rebloom.

Potenilla

Blurry picture of the carnations but look at the buds still to open!

Dahlia

Cosmo

A dripping but very happy HH. I am standing with my camera pointed towards the sky as this puppy is at least 7-8ft. tall!

This is it earlier in the year, I have ton's of seeds for this one and plain yellow if anyones interested.

Great shots Celeste. Love the HH one.

Not too much going on here: roses are gearing up for a fall flush, most everything else is tired and dried out...

This is hybrid tea rose "Brandy"

Morning glories on the crooked birdhouse...

My best dahlia....

last, but not least, a "mystery" morning glory that reseeded from the purple, blue and pink ones of years past...

Oh boy nice pics again . That glad and lily bouquet is just lovely and I am a sucker for the HH.
The mystery MG is very delicate and the big fat pink dahlia steals the show. Great stuff guys!

I got happy to see the flawed birdhouse. I like things that are flawed.
Celeste we have the same HHs, potentilla, ROS.

My ceiling is flawed.

My plumbing (home, not personal!) is deeply flawed.... I hope nothing else starts to leak....

great shots again today everyone!...... I got stuck in a nasty flood today.... only rained for about a half hour.... but a two lane highway only had the left shoulder open due to the high water

and here is my new shot of the day.... i think it was Victor that said the deer scram didn't work.... guess you were right

Ooh - that can be dangerous. Yes, Deer Scram did not work for me.

Great shots. That deer has got "hungry eyes"!! boojum - I like you too (I'm flawed in BODY and MIND) Eleanor

We're all flawed in one way or another. That's why we need other people!

Yeah....flawed is good!! Adds character in people and things.

Tamberlin - nice group of pics! I, too, really like that bird box & MGs....

Here are today's blooms in our family room vase that stays filled with the flowers from our yard....

I'll catch up on the next thread.LOL

Gram - Is Lauren Michelle your tallest then?


Bright Star

Wide shot from on top of the garage.

Al - that Bright Star is gorgeous! What do your neighbors say when you're on the roof taking pictures? (Hi Al!)

Very nice view!

I don't even think they question anything anymore.
Bright Star is from New York - Bath even.

I do it all the time! Get great perspective.

Dahlia 'Bodacious' is where it would have been a month ago had the tubers arrived on time. 'Who Dun It', 'Caliente', 'Purple Taiheijo' and 'Matchmaker' have yet to bloom (but look like they will). Is 'Bodacious' simply earlier? Tubers all looked about the same size. All were planted the same day in the same soil and receive the same light.

Looks GREAT David. I really should get that one or Show and Tell. Little mildew on your zinnias? :)
I don't recall it being early or late from others.

bigcityal...good eye....but a little mildew? I'll take a picture of that 35' row of Purple Prince zinnias tommorow and put it next to a picture from a month ago. A striking contrast. Kept it at bay for while with baking soda but now the row is finis. In fact, I'm tearing it out in the morning. Dahlias got a little on the lower leaves but its gone...for now...and we're not long until the frost....

Al I guess the birds have a good view

:)

Thanks Alison.

David - I was being nice in case you had some silver foliage plant in front of them. I have all my zinnias in pots, which does reduce the mildew by getting them off the ground, but they dry out fast that way. I was really happy with the Dreamlands Mix for my zinnias this year.

DP - what's your average first frost date? Generally we get it Nov. 10th.

Al - some rainy day you might write up a list of what your favorite seeds were for the year. We all benefit from your experience.

Hi, I thought maybe I shouldn't be on this forum but then I saw Al was posting too. I am upper south but maybe you will not run me off.
I love all the pics that are being posted. I am trying to find late season color to add for next year.
Teresa

Hi Teresa,
Did you have a good Birthday yesterday? We won't run you off, everyone is welcome! Al's a regular here we keep him for his wit and humor. LOL
I have daylilies reblooming, and some annuals and my blueberry bush's are changing color, but thats about it. Oh and some Rose of Sharon.....they are just now starting to open now. I'm sure other's will be of more help!

Hi, Pixie
I had a great time yesterday. I have a few dls reblooming, caladiums, a few annuals too. I just love Wave petunias but mine always seem to dry out and get to looking badly.

Pirl - I will. I need to straighten out my photos and do some PlantFiles work yet on them too.

Hi Teresa - yes,I'm under contract here.LOL My best late fall perennials are asters,toad lilies. I seeded some annuals later that will flower until frost, convolulus will flower past a frost. I don't have any fall flowering shrubs - you might be warm enough for some.

check it out, I even have a greenhouse

Great greenhouse, Al. Is that a skunk in the center?

Welcome, Teresa. So glad to have you here with us.

I'd say Asters, Potentilla (shrub), some roses but dahlias take the leading role. Victor has a NE thread on fall color and it might be what you want.
