Whats blooming part 5

Another calendula but don't know which one because the label blew away.

Kate's daylilies are doing well (thanks, Kate)

Nicotiana 'langsdorfii' from Pixy. Just now starting to bloom (still in a pot)

Still trying to ID the following pix.

Hoping these guys and their siblings will grow up big and strong!

And the cyclamen in its new home being watched over and tended by Mimulus Fernbeard

And a newcomer. My mom volunteers at the Sequim Senior Center, which is having a big yard sale. She got 5 - 5 gallon plants for $20, two of which she kept (and has no idea what they are and I haven't seen them yet). I ended up with two Tanoaks and this NOID. Anyone? First the whole plant ~

And now the foliage and red stems up close

This is the possible sisyrhinicum I posted on another thread. Laurie thought maybe the brown tufts were seed heads but I think they may be the flower. I looked at it today and found what appear to be more blossoms coming on. I'll have to watch it closely every day for flowers, then maybe get a positive ID. Here's the brown tufts.

And the new blossoms?

Oh Dang! I almost forgot to introduce you to Mimulus Fernbeard's cousin, Soloman Mossylog. He just moved into the faerie garden last weekend. Mimulus is certainly happy to have his company and we are THRILLED that he chose to come live with us!

And Soloman sent out his scout and ever faithful companion to scope out the area before he decided to move in. She gave him the "all clear" and apparently decided to stay on as well. This is Bea Dazzling

See you made it, LOL
Was thinking maybe ' a little worried about jumping in'
Been there done that, made my mistakes, lessons learned go on. Have fun and Injoy. What we all love most its eye candy (pics of everything, pets, kids, wildlife, bugs, (hem maybe not bugs) but mostly plants. And sharing projects and hopeful help on IDing plants.

Wonderful Pics All.

Great pics Sheri, the one with the red stems, know it but can't place it as yet.

This one I can't remember the name, have it in a file.
Tills

I think it's a tiger lily Tils.

Got to look at my invoices, can't seem to find them.
Its to cool.

Finally

Tiger lilies and the last looks like Crimson Flag, I think, Tills. I have some blooming but not prolifically yet. . .My tigers are ready and one will open this weekend but the rest are still in a holding pattern.

Bad Kitty!!!!
'Ratso'

Sheri, The last is Montbretia (crocosmia)
No before the kitty
^_^

nice kitty you have 'growing' there tills! lol!

Sheri, nice pics. Ned suggested that your mystery plant might be a rush, but from the pics it looks like the rushes are all round-stemmed. The flat nature of the leaves eally makes me think sysirinchium, too. But I haven't seen blossoms like that. I love it!! And I want some when we find out what it is. LOL

Welcome to Soloman and Bea. :-) And I have no idea what your senior center garage sale plant is, but I'll be interested in hearing. It looks a little bit like some variety of chaenomeles or flowering quince.

Mary, Ratso looks like he fits perfectly in that box. It was made for him.

To bad he won't sprout, I miss baby Kittens. LOL

Night all.

Wouldn't that be a surprise!!

Seri, so glad the strawberries are doing well. The first year, it would probably be better to snip off the runners so the plants will get well established. You could let them go next year to create more plants.
Yep, that is the color of the Day Dawn potentilla. They start out that peachy cream, and them fade to pale cream.

I love the soft yellow of that Day Dawn, too. Such a nice color.

Holly, I've heard that you should only use a strawberry plant for one or two years and then move to its offspring to get the best yield. Do you find that to be true?

My strawberries did pretty well for about 4 years, and now I have established a new bed with offshoots. It is good to have an overlap year, where you still keep the older plants for harvesting while the new ones are settling in. Unfortunately, I have had deer breaking and entering, even though I have a 7 foot deer fence. Of course, they are devouring the leaves on my new plants, and leaving the old ones that I am going to pull out completely alone.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I get it - noid - NO I D(ea). No idea. Got it. I've been puzzling over this for months - I thought all these lilies had been reclassified in a sub-group as noids. And then I saw that other plants that were not lilies were also noids - and then just about to log off, and the penny droppied - NO ID! Right. I'm right up there with all you wits - clever. Boy I hate being the last one to the party.

That is too cute, Laurie!!

Or just plain dumb! (But thank you katie - I like your's better).

LOL Laurie after all this time I thought you knew, course I can't say I knew all along took me awhile to catch on. Its No Identifcation. But we know what it is, but not the fancy name that came with the tag. ^_^
Tills

Don't feel dumb Laurie, took me a while to get it too.

Thank you all.

Glad I'm not the only one! Great pics everybody.Boy, I started this thread cause it was such a bad spring and just wanted to see something other than grey. It sure has a life of its own now! And welcome Hippi! You'll love it here in the PNW forum! We will be getting all together soon, I hope!

Oh, and the pic was a verrigated brug and echium pininana.
This is cape fuchia, turns out Jim and I have the same one, and got a white and pink one yesterday.

Felt plant that I bought at Wells Medina, took a chance on it, and has done great!

Hosta Cathedral windows, finally found Stained Windows, now got to find Holy Mole!

Ant brub experts? They are supposed to flower at the Y of the plant, but this crazy one is blooming at the base! Certainly no Y at the base of the plant, is everything I read about them wrong?

Nigella

Pink/yellow glads

Stargazer lilies & purple coneflow
