Garden Photos - Part 28

thanks onewish and donnybrook.

Onewish ...gadzookes!!! sooo much blooming in your yard. pics are great.
DonnieBrook... Your garden looks great. The flowers on the spirea are white, or white with a pinkish tinge. But, I would hardly know since the deer have taken to eating them the last few year. But, I think that the flower buds are much more interesting than the flowers themselves. and they last quite a while. http://bp3.blogger.com/_8St-ONY2y-4/RklFwRzHgXI/AAAAAAAAAok/tUhVTAC6xH4/s1600-h/Spiraea+%C3%97+vanhouttei+%E2%80%98Pink+Ice%E2%80%99.JPG I have a much better picture of the buds of my own that I have at home on my computer. Will be a couple of days though.

I wanted to get a better close up of this critter (praying mantis) but dang... that sucker aggressively went after me if I got too close.

briefly snuck this one in when I distracted it with something else making noise.

delph and lavender

another view of them.

Rhody in bloom now. It smells soooo good. smells like a mix of vanilla and cotton candy

So what happened to your thalictrum Victor?

Jen it's a begonia

thanks RC... love your PM.. last one looks like it's from Aliens

Who says it's not?!!! it tried to attack!

LOL

For a little bit I thought I was being neurotic in backing off from it. My crew laughed at me. But, a two guys on my crew wanted to see if they could put it on grass to turn it green. It charged at one and he hopped back, then it lept at the other and he let out a sort of "Ack". Needless to say no one was laughing at me anymore!

HOLY KRAP RC!!!!!!!!
Be carefull out there in the woods.

no problem! It made for a much more interesting day.

Great mantis shots, Shelly. The thalictrum did not return the following spring. Yes, Jen, Limelight is a paniculata and is not affected by pH. It goes from white to green.
