I have a question about Orienpets
Do they multiply the same way Asiatics do?
Gardening Photo's - Part 29
That canna looks like 'Tropicana' (I believe it is also sold as 'Phaison') It is gaden worth even if it didn't have the bright flowers, the foliage on that particular canna is stunning!
just planted phlox David
Two visitors to the gardens yesterday while I was acting like a Bear and eating ALL those juicy berries out there....this one was on a young Milkweed....sorry its a bit blurry, my digital stinks...
The other friend....
This is the Ascending angel in our soon-to-be pond and memorial garden area
For now, some of our memorial items are out there to mark the spot
The sentiment on the Mem. garden plaque
Beautiful Morrigan. BEV
ndthe planting that containts a little of everyone's ashes, planted with a baby of our Japanese Maple in the memorial service last year...
Thanks, Bev!
Very nice. The memorial is for whom?
Just a few today. Forgot the name of this tropical, but supposedly the flowers are used to make some perfume. It smells great - like gardenia or jasmine.
Waterlily.
Clem Rooguchi. It grows through my oakleaf hydrangea.
Thanks for the possible ID for the Canna, Thom. I should have full plant in bloom pics soon.
Ge1836, be careful where you plant that pretty Phlox. I've tried to move them only to have them sprouting all over the place from the severed roots I left behind. I've learned to remove an over-sized root ball or pay the consequences, lol.
The only Candy Lily I have left that is not a solid yellow.
Remember how I said some plants don't like the crowded conditions in the main flower bed? I had a cluster of really nice ones in there that got shaded out by much faster growing Butterfly weed. This one is in a small, open bed.
I'm not much of a lily person, but wow, that's quite a flower, Sarahskeeper!
Hi Victor: We run a small sanctuary for ElderAnimals and animals w/ special needs. 3-28-07, we had a house fire that killed about 3/4 of the animals we had in sanctuary at the time. THese guys are my whole life, and it near about killed me too. The Memorial Garden is for them, my babes.
Oh how terrible! That's a wonderful thing you do, mo. Thank God you survived and were able to carry on this great calling.
Well, there was a long time making my way back from "a good thing I survived". We lost alot of our babes, as I said, and, well, what's past is past. I am making my way back allright. And continue my work only on a smaller scale. You're right, though, it IS a calling, because nobody sane would ever choose to do this!
I just got a disk made from my film camera, and the photos of the caterpillar are sooo much better, I am going to load it and re-send! He's a beauty!!
I am giving it a try, hope it works
I see him! He is a beauty. Do you know what kind he is?
Nice, but looks like the gnome has the shovel ready for him!
Victor - ha ha!
My (wild) milkweeds don't get any attention, other than from something that makes the tops turn into a ball (haven't looked up close yet...I like to walk around barefoot and the skunks(?) are pooing over there). I wish I could get beauties like that!
I was moved by the sentiment on the plaque, Morrigan. My DH & I talk about our long- gone pets frequently--they are such a part of the family's life story--we miss every one of them. Here is a broader view of my fav phlox, Jeana.
About half of my DL's are through blooming---sad!---but here's 1 still cranking.
I am way behind on the photos! Looks great and I see some lovely flowers......too many to comment on them all!
Just one for tonight as I have way too much to do before company gets here.
Coreopsis 'Early Sunrise' with visitor.
Bet you thought I was going to post a lily of some sort, didn't ya?

Looks like a stinkbug.
You?? Post a lily??? NEVER!!!!
So I will!
Pixie ...
the 'Wolf's Eye' you sent us last year ~ FFO last Friday.
Wow, what a day!
Thanks for all the info on the Elephant Ears folks! maybe I will give them a shot. I don't lift my dahlias and they do return every year (when I got the gophers away from them) so maybe there will be hope for me and EE's?
Dragonfly.... that snowy bench is wonderful. what a great use of stumps!
Morrigan...what a great ending in your memory garden to a very tragic story. You do amazing things, I don't know if I would've handled that scenario nearly as well you did. Even when my pets are perfectly healthy, just the thought that they're getting older gets to me.
sorry I salted them befor I took the picture.
There are two of them on the deck, about 5 inches long.
UGGGG. SLUGGGGG
I go out with a plastic butter dish with salt in it. I have tiny baby slugs laying in the stems just eating away. i take a toothpick and get them out and into the salt. On just one hosta I got 30 just the other day. BEV
Keep them where you are.
I couldnt bendover to eliminate that many.
I remember earlier in May when everyone was so entranced with plants that had returned to their gardens and everyday there were pictures of emerging leaves and shoots and buts .
Everyone was cooing over the triumpth of nature.
Some one posted at the time" Now the bugs will start to destroy everything"
They were right. I had no idea what sluggs could so.
I planned on some dill for my weekly fis dish and sluggs ate all of the plants.
We have our first tomatoes.
There were two last night.
DD better have taken one for her lunch.
Tomatoe thieves don't want to deal with me duering BLT season.
I just can't stop photoing this Satisfaction.
This is the last one I promise as the Bright stars are blooming and I am waiting for the recurves to finish so I can photo them.
I like this combo too.
Orange Impatiens and NOID coleus
I believe these are from Dave. Thanks!
BES
