One of my favorite DL's - Jolyene Nichole

Double Purple Winky columbine putting on a second wave.

Ice Blue on my JM fully open now.

Coreopsis Moonbeam.

Janet.

Lily.

Hibiscus Kopper King.

Alpine geranium.

No new flowers since the last ones, waiting for the Hydrangea to do its thing.

Forgot to post these.
Went to HD to buy bulb food and slug poison and also came home with three new Astilbes for the DL garden
in red for your amusement
DG cropping eliminated one I think.
NOPE

great photo's victor - boy this thread hits 300 every third day lately. I have a few that i'll down load later tonight.

Thanks - yes it's very active, Bill. 'Viral', as they say!

'Moonlit Masquerade'---FFO...yeah. This, and 'Canadian Border Patrol' are two of my top favorite DL's. Love the light/dark eye combo!

Here is another .25 cent bag-o-lily bloom.

First bloom on my 'Lady in Red' hydrangea...although, it should be 'Lady in Blue'...lol.

'Snowbound'...I think this is a little to young in the flower cycle, either that or I was sent the wrong Dahlia...the flower petals are supposed to twist and be sort of tentacle like. I will take a pic in a day or two if the flower does anything funky!

Thom, MM is one of my favorites too along with CBP and 'Please Say Yes'. Oh and 'Maxfield Parrish'. Oh heck...don't think there is a DL I don't like!

Bee balm is just starting...

Very early noid mum starting, I always forget this flowers early and never get a chance to prune it back.

Non stop begonia

Victor, I need to get Jolyene Nichole....it's the only DL that spells my DD name right. Nichole.

Nice shots, Thom and Jen. MM is nice - reminds me of Pandora's Box. Jolyene is really gorgeous, Celeste.

Mix of 2 petunias in my little wagon planter on my deck.

Does anyone have any idea what 'Summer's Angel' looks like? It's a DL I got as a bonus from the lily auction...(don't tell Paul, I'm still bidding and winning...lol!)

It's an E. Salter '02 intro...but, that's about all the information I can find on it.

This is all AHS says, though you probably saw it:

Summer's Angel (Salter-E.H., 2002)
height 26", season EM, bloom 3.75", Rebloom, foliage sev. , Tetraploid
yellow self above green throat
(MY SPECIAL ANGEL X sdlg)

lol...'ya know me so well...lol.

blah, it's got a tiny flower...fooey. It breaks my less than 5.5" rule for flower diameter :-/

Although...I wonder how green it gets? hmmm...could be interesting.

Thanks Victor!

I've never heard of it, but there are alot i've never heard of!

No problem, Thom. That's cool, Celeste - should be tutti-fruitti.

You don't like mini DL's??? I love them, love big ones too but that beside the point!
This one is about 7-8"

Nice. I forgot to say that Jolyene smells yummy too.

mini daylilies??? oh oh.... I want to see it... I love miniature plants.... I got the cutest tiny hosta from Jen...


blooming under my bedroom window.... opened today!!!

I have many mini weeds.

heehee
My sister came over today and said she loved my garden because there were no weeds, or if there were, she couldn't see them.
She couldn't see them.

I ask all people with glasses to remove them when they visit my garden.

I ended up collecting mini hostas, but not on purpose. Some people out there in hosta land included about 6 as bonus hosta, and I think Jim, and Jim's Hostas has a surplus. The last 3 times I either ordered from him, or won items on the hosta library's auction site, he sent me a mini bonus. I have about 15 or so mini hosta. I don't dislike the smaller flowering DL's, BUT, huge big ole BUT, if I'm gonna bid upward of $50 or so, or drop a couple of $$, I want it to really really count. I like 'em big and bold ;-)

hollyhock budding out

astilbe from Pirl

marigolds looking good. I love these guys.

Stella's blooming her head off

get rid of your weeds - i weed every two/three weeks - takes about a day - i do it over two days. with all the stunning flowers/plants/trees to see crab grass, clover, or some other weed. can't stand them.
Weeding would be much easier if there was someone about 90 pounds with small feet to walk on me afterward.
