Garden Photos - Part 17

Look Victor....my first Viburnum.

That's a good one, Celeste! Congrats.

I thought I could help feed my little feathered friends better this fall and winter.

You'll need another Viburnum nudum to assure best fruiting. Winterthur is one I would recommend.

OK....birds and the bee's thing again huh?? I'm going to check it out now!

Yep - they're not so good at self-pollination! Any nudum would do, but Winterthur is another one that has different colored berries at the same time.

And the gals, too, sometimes!!

Seriously, GREAT photos!!!
Thom, fantastic find! I am so proud of you for keeping your cool. It must have been very difficult for you!!

I had to post more clematis photo's! Right now they are the only thing pretty much blooming for me other than annuals LOL

Wave of purple!

Nice, Dawn!

A single rose bush that has been in our family now for 6 generations, do not know its name, it has been transplanted three times.

love all your pictures of flowers

Petunias in container on the patio

Celeste, I love that Ive St Laurent and that yellow patio tree rose!!

Thom- I just looked that Bartzella up...can I just say WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning all and wow, all lovely stuff above, but I'm going to have to wait until after work to comment more :-( Anyhow I just had to post these two pics! I figured that they would help wake everyone up for the day. I've been walking over this bridge almost daily for around 10 years now and the reflection has never been so bright that it hurt the eyes to look at it.... until todayl! Unfortunately also so bright that the camera couldn't filter colors as usual so that it darkened the colors of everything that wasn't white. the only editing I did was to crop the picture. There were quite a few folks standing on the bridge looking at the water and trying not to look at it the same time! I think it has something to do with the water being colder than it usually is when the sun is as bright as it is in June. I live downstream about 1/3 mi. of the left.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning RC What great pics of your woods and stream.Have a great day.

Good morning Jo Ann and RC!! What a peaceful photo.
I love streams in the woods. That sunlight is gorgeous!

Hi Maria! Nice to see you posting. How nice to have a rose in the family so long.

Great shots, Shelly! Always love those kind of shots.

Not sure which one of the Big Sky series this is...but I like it...it's the only one that really "took off" for me this year...and it looks so nice growing up through the Sambucca!

Another pic, different flower, same plant...lol.

Paprika with a nice little back drop...Paprika flopped over in our mini monsoon last night, I was going to stake it, but at this angle, it's really neat!

Last year, when working at the garden center, the owner had me chop all of the flowering parts off of the sedums...so, I took the 5-gallon bucket home with all of the cuttings, and threw them on this little bank...some took, others didn't...I have no idea how many cultivars there are, but it seems like, depending on what group I am looking at, that there are about 12 or so that made it. The larger/taller sedums did not make it.

another group of sedums...I'm hoping that eventually they will fall/spill over this little stone wall and grow in through all of the little crevices.

is it normal for a clematis to bloom this long? I always thought that they were relatively short in their flower cycle... and, can anyone ID this one?

Finally, a Datura flower...that was growing outside...woohoo. It's one of the Metels not sure which one though.

Thom that Clem is a beauty!!
My Clem bloomed, then stopped for a few days/week and then started again.....im NOT complaining!! LOL

Nice combo with the echinacea, Thom. Hard to ID the clem - so many are in that color range.

The Asiatic Lilies are in bloom.
This is "Orange Pixie Dwarf"

Callas
I love these.

LOOKY!
Almost ready to eat!

Wow! Stunning!

I have been enthralled with the incredible flowers on this thread. Things I've never seen or heard of. I've been watching and drooling for weeks now.

So much FUN!!

nice bunch of seedums Thom

I have more day lily blooms this year than I've EVER had before!
The downside - lots of deadheading to do!
I do it every day to keep up.
Last Sunday I cut off 52! That's a record for me.
The pot on the right is the one I'm bringing to the RU for whoever wants some. :o)
