I think this is a Fire Lily gunna be great in a few days.
There are three more buds in the other plant.

Here's a different link, Chuck.

The link worked for me Victor...

Here are the glads I mentioned...if anyone wants any, let me know, I'll ship them off to you...I have no idea what in sam heck I'm going to do with about 700+glads...lol.

I believe this is the perennial sunflower...not sure of genus/species, nor cultivar

At the Fall RU I was talking to Kassia about this beautiful yellow rose I bought while working at the garden center. I wasn't sure if it was coming back, it did, I've been waiting for about 1 week for the bud to open to show everyone, especially Kassia the pic. I found the name to Kass!!!

Here is 'Tahitian Moon'

ge-Torch Lily, Red Hot Poker, or to be really specific Kniphofia sp. I have never heard it called a Fire Lily, but now I have :-)

They are one of my favorites, and there are a bunch of different cultivars out there. I just picked up 2 myself.

I had someone stump me the other day at work. They told me they bought a flat of Mountain Pinks. I was like...What the heck are Mountain Pinks? I had no idea what they were talking about...until I googled it.

I had seen the flower on Brent and Becks Kniphoia is correct and Torch lily is the name I forgot.
Knew it was lily something.
I tried to divide it this spring but the root ball is like the Syberian Iris ,reaally tough to get through. I'll give it another try this fall and transplant some into the new garden they take up a lot of room ,am I preaching to the choire?

Thought y'all might like to see the Memory Garden planted on the side of the greenhouse.

No, they do take up alot of room, and I don't think it's a scenario of "more bang for your buck" in regard to flower vs space. I do like them though. They tend to grow just about anywhere as long as they don't have wet feet. What I have done for several generations of them, is treat them almost like hostas, or some DL clumps that are just really tough...dig out the clump, take a spaded shovel, and make like a Pogo Stick on the clump...it will divide. The root balls do tend to be very dense; not quite as bad as trying to divide Miscanthus, but, it's dense.

I planted some Burpee seed - Perennial Ht 42" Full Sun Tall and Striking topped by unusaual narrow, tubular flowers from pale yellow to orange-red. TRITOMA MIX Red Hot Poker.

WNY-Someone who plants like me! Yeah...lol. In another season, that is gonna be a jungle! Congrats! I counted atleast 1/2 dozen of my favorites, especially BMC!

OK WNY What is that dark leaved plant at the very back?
Your garden is wonderful.
Welcome to NE Garden forum.
I havn't seen you posting befor.

Here are 2 different pics of the Knophifa that I just picked up, this is from the 'Flamenco' mix.

ge...I think, and can almost wager that it's either BMC, or Othello. Ligularia...Britt Marie Crawford, or Othello...BMC, is one of my favorites.

Here is the other in the 'Flamenco' mix...

Thats what it looks like in a few weeks.
It was the only flower blooming here when we moved in on the forteenth of July last year.
I wanted to boost up the gardens and had a small plan befor I joined DG. NOW it includes gardens where there were none simply because I can't stop buying plants.
I have definatly lost it and am making plans for next year based on failures to impress from this years plants and some I overdid.
It's all your fault.DG'ers but it brought me out of the house and that's a good thing.
I just Motrin up every morning and start watering and weeding.Life is good.

I have Ligularia Britt Marie,chose it because there were too many other plants w/ tall cone shaped wavey flowers.
It will be a few year s befor they really perform.

Mundo Jungle!! Great grandma (1876-1975) apparently started a list long ago ..... I only picked a few out of the (too long of a) list to start in that spot. In two years we'll divide them out for other places. Like the Ligularia is going to end up by the pond. I like that each plant is the favorite of someone to think of. Eight generations of people to keep a thought on.

I think it is Ligularia dentata

WNY-welcome!
Very pretty memory garden.

Thanks Jen. I find the Ligularia likes to "wilt" during the day ..... I have it in another spot and it is spreading nicely.

Anyone hazard a guess as to this incredible blue flower?
Looks like some sort of Campanula,hate the way it flopps over,leaves are threadlike, similar to Grape Hyiasenth.

I have experienced wilt too, guess that's its nature.
Hope its wet enough where I have mine planted.

Exactly. They grow along river banks, I believe. Protected from the shade, they might not wilt as much, but in the sun, they seem to fall right over. Recover as soon as the sun is gone as if nothing happened. They do like to be damp, I think.

ge-not sure, but there is a bulb that looks like that. Can't think of it at the top of my head...maybe (this is a stretch) scilla? If that's even how it's spelled.

The Ligularia that I have, BMC, is under a JM, and has Hosta 'Revolution' planted right near it...I occasionally spritz it heavily with water to give the ole' gal a pick me up. I love all the dark leaved varieties of Ligualaria.

JoAnn- could it be this?
http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/b/bp/TRSKS.html

No, it's not spiderwort. I think it is more like Brodiaea "Queen Fabiola"

I think they call it Triplet Lily

I'm so wrong...lol. Just looked up Scilla...have no idea what I was thinking. I don't think it's Spiderwarts either...hmmm...

This is the link

It's a short plant maybe 12" and what threw you off is its mingled with a leliope.
The photo washed out some of the color,intense blue I'll go back to Bluestone and see what theit Campanulas look like.
Thanks everybody

oops, yep spiderwort only has 3 petals, sorry.

You sure it isn't Brodiaea "Queen Fabiola"

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/83645/

Thanks WNY it is Triteleia Queen Fabiola.
Wish it didn't flopp.
It's in DD's garden so I don't have to worry about it although I might take a bit.

:-) Now you have to send me some, too!! ;-)

Ligularia like moisture and don't like much sun. My BMC is mostly shaded too and thrives. Very nice photo, Willie. Thanks for the memory garden shot! Hee hee.

Thanks, VG

WNYwillieB, nice collection of plants outside your GH. But I am dying to see all those cactus. looks like an amazing lot.

My big excitement is that a gladiolus nanus 'Elvira' has wintered over an is blooming today. It is one of my favorite glads. I just planted more of it today from 4paws/bleek coop this year (5 for 1.25) I planted, finally, all the new glads I bought on that coop plus two big boxes that I had dug and stored from last fall. I would venture to say that we planted 300. Some were on the smallish size. It is going to be interesting as I didn't map out the colors very well. But if they don't work in place, they can certainly be cut and enjoyed in the house. I could look like a funeral home come Aug. Patti

Here is Oriental lily 'Early Rose' from buggycrazy. Great frag. Patti
