oh my goodness that canna is stunning.... so gorgeous... can't believe it how perfect it is!!!!
I have to agree with Kassia Jo Ann...that Canna is stunning!!
Nice HH's, Sherrie. Didn't need to see any more JB's though! Yes, my PP looks a lot like yours, Celeste - go figure! I have to go check how many buds there are. Here is trumpet Pink Perfection.
gorgeous ppp... I think I need one... Celeste my dear friend, thanks so much for Navajo Princess - she is just blooming and I keep taking pictures ... oh it looks awsomely beautiful next to Ebb Tide and Laura Bush... oh I just hope she gets bigger next year... I am going to move a lot of the daylilies to be between the roses... definitly love them... so it will be iris - roses - daylilies )
dying to see the daylilies Ardesia gave me last year...they have not bloomed yet...
Siloam Space Age - these blooms are huge.
Rudbeckia maxima.
oh Victor that's a gorgeous picture... very dramatic!!!
Liz Salter has many buds.
Thanks, Kass! Phlox Pixie Miracle Grace.
are you addicted to daylilies also??? and it's almost orange.... didn't think you liked orange!!!
you did it again... gorgeous pink!!!
bbrookrd, I planted that glad last fall so its the first year for me. I was planning on leaving them in the ground and hope for the best. Thanks for the ID, I bought a hardy glad mix. This one is by far my favorite, very elegant picotee edge. I like the Genista even if it does look like Cousin It (Thanks, Victor!! LOL). It put on a great show this spring, lasted a long time in bloom.
Thanks Celeste & Jen. Happy early Bday to your little one, Jen.
Thanks. Actually, that dl is much more cream than orange. I'll take an orange once in a while! Especially the more subdued tones - not the hot ones. Celeste - quite a few buds on PP. Six scapes and each has at least 5-7 buds!
Dyane - I like it too - that was not a knock on it! Cool foliage.
I finally have some stuff in bloom. I'm noticing this year that I need to find more June and May blooming stuff...I hate waiting so long :)
here's a close up of a stachys officinalis, which is in my waterfall rock garden
this is what the stachys looks like from afar. The plant is actually quite short/low, it is all flower stem!
There are two in this picture, there's one to the left behind the "front" one
this is a part of my "wild" wildflower patch. We didn't mow back here one year, and wildflowers came up. the sweet william is still blooming, and now the rudbeckia is showing. some of the milkweed is also in bloom. not sure what the flower that has yet to bloom in back of the rudbeckia is. I always forget to write them all down :)
and finally in the front, my annuals are taking off, the spirea dart's red is blooming, as is the nepeta. I have two sets of the annuals on the front porch, this is just one part. really helps perk up the front until I plant more perennials (mostly shrubs).
Marvelous pics everyone. I agree that maxima shot is very nice and that porch picture is absolutely wonderful Evie, love the dark color petunias. I also have been sending the JBs to the deep end of the pool today, not too many so far but one is more than I need. The dumb beetles, don't know what they really are called, grey/beige things with black markings that don't even try to get away, are more numerous and are munching mostly daisies and coneflowers. They also get gone but mostly by making a crunch noise underfoot. Took a garden shot this am, could be my fav so far this year, all the colors make me smile.
Evie-the same here, I have a lull in the flowering waiting for my rudbeckia, I have a later flowering variety fulgida, fulgida and second bloom of the stella d'oros. The only things blooming are my wildflowers, yarrow(which I have to move it was supposed to be fire king but it's yellow and I have yellow corepsis in front of it) oh Yeah the corepsis is blooming now too. and my annuals, oh and some magic roses. Looks like phlox behind your rudbeckia.
ngam:
That photo is glorious! It makes me smile, too!
What great flowers folks
Oh my goodness, surprise surprise look what bloomed today....
This guy is 5' tall
Another noid rose
More wildflowers are blooming...
Love the reds
One of the freebies I got from my neighbor, I thought it wasn't going to make it. It's still in the pot
Heuchera, I received at the RU(from Carrie, I think???).
Is this the start of the blossom???
Thats the bloom alright ,it will grow taller, nice trade.
That's so pretty, Jen.
Here's one of our ditch lilies. Sometimes, I think they look pretty. Today is one of those days.
Lots of good shots of 'not much going on', Jen! Great wide shot, Pat. Classic summer image. You'll think about that one in January.
ngram - i think i would have that picture enlarged into a frame. Very nice
Thanks for the comments on my pic, I think Victor is right, during a blizzard in the dead of winter that will be a good pic to look at and remember.
That glad and rose are real hot show stoppers Jen. Gift plants are the best I think they give pleasure as they grow and again when we think of who they came from, nice.
Those orange ditch lilies sometimes get a bad rep. but you have to admire their sturdy unstoppable spirit, and they ain't too tough to look at either.
I love seeing Ditch lilies by the side of the road....they always make me smile.
Nice picture Pat!
Jen, those 2 blooms are very eye catching, can't help but notice them!!
A nice soft orange for Victor....'Real Wind'
