Last - Heuchera Caramel.

I have 3 japanese hydrangeas like yours Victor. I adore them. I'll hafta look up their names and get back here.

ge1836, I found Haight Ashbury in the PlantFiles. It says its a Hibiscus. Nice foliage.

Coppertina new growth.

BF.

Castor.

Hummingbird moth.

Fig leaf. (Way too small for me ^_^)

Beautiful pix, Victor. Is that Helenium really that bright? I love it.

Thanks, Dyane. Yes it is. Wish it was in better focus. I'll take another shot.

I always like coppertina and Rozanne and phlox are a great combo!

Thanks, Celeste.

BTW, that H.Moth is so cute...I want to pet him/her, it looks so soft!!
Great shot!!!

Thanks. It's not easy as it moves around very quickly. Does not stay at each flower for long. I would like to set the shutter higher to 'freeze' the wings.

Victor - you're bad!

Thanks for posting the hummingbird moth - I had one on my lilies just yesterday. I took a picture and was going to post asking if anyone knew what it was. I knew it wasn't quite a hummingbird, but didn't know exactly what it was.

Still no hummingbird moth, here, but I've not spent much time in the garden lately---too busy! All the photos were stunners--Pixie---too many gorgeous DL's---Victor--does your fig smell funny? My neighbor had one in her greenhouse, & it smelled like cat urine! Candyce, will bring DL with me to RU--no postage! Here is an eyed phlox, came in a mixed bag.

And an OL, which I don't remember ordering, so it probably came in a mixed bag as well.

Haven't noticed any smell.

since I'm on a super slow computer, I'm not sure if I'll even get one picture posted before bed.

if it attaches, it's cotinus "young lady"

wahoo, it took only 9 minutes this time!!! to attach just one small picture :-( oh well, It attached!

another shot of it.

one of my purple cotinus, don't remember which of them this as a picture of.

a slightly bug eaten, Noid dahlia

Not my lilies but had to share.

To give some sence of proportion the tall Cupheas in the background are seven feet tall.

I am waiting for the Casablancas to open ,then I'll photo something else I promise.

Looks like you're getting the hang of that new camera, Victor. Love the hummingbird moth.

Great shots, everybody! Pixie, you continue to have the most amazing variety.

RC - thanks for your patience in letting your pics upload!!

Robin - love the phlox and JoAnn - Wow!

My EE are looking pretty good. They will never catch up to Sherrie's but I like 'em.

EE's for next year for me. I love tropical foliage.
