Garden Photos - Part 33

Lucy ROS.

Anemonopsis macrophylla.

Final Touch.

Toad lily.

Is that ROS one of the Chiffon's, booj?

I like the Red Heart ROS booj.

Here is a sweet pea on the upper deck.

No, I do have White Chiffon though (see pic). This is a more common bluish pink with magenta center. The late sun made it a bit pinker. I have it labeled but it's dark here.

I had to start keeping all my potted plants on the upper deck away from my puppy.
In fact, it is the puppy that made me put all these here.

Deb, I wish you a speedy recovery. I know how you feel about wanting to get out in the garden and dig. It's only been 10 days since my C-Section and I'm having a hard time not getting my hands dirty! I keep trying to tell myself that it can wait but its tough to stop myself from doing something I enjoy.

Puppies are crazy!!

I remembered, Victor. It's Ardens ROS.

The butterflies stay up here

here they are

Dyanne, hope you're taking it easy too, and enjoying your new baby girl

Thanks booj. Cool shot of the 'pillers, Deb. What is that structure they're hanging on?

Oh you guys and gals! Everything looks so lovely!

Boojum, I love the Robert Brydon clematis. I will have to get myself one of those someday.

Venu209, nice pic of the butterfly on the mimosa blossom. I have a seedling mimosa that I have to get planted. Will go in a temporary spot till I can decide where I will plant it permanently.

Grandpapa, love the pic of the monarch caterpillar. I love them. I leave my milkweeds for them. I have a monarch cocoon on one of them.

As usual, great pics, everyone!

Speaking of milkweeds and monarchs, I found this unusual caterpillar on one of my milkweeds today. They were on the underside of the leaf, and I turned it over to photograph them. Anyone know what they are?

Victor - it's a mesh "cage" I keep them in.

Here are a couple of frogs at my pond.

Oh, thanks for letting me know, debilu! I thought only monarchs liked the milkweeds.

This daylily is Goodbye Columbus.

and milkweed bugs!

Here's one of my planters out front. I forget what the purple foliaged plant is called. I put lamiastrum in with it.

Water lettuce in my pond. This stuff is so cool.

A swallowtail butterfly at my butterfly bush.

Another pic of the same butterfly.

Autumn King daylily.

Frans Schubert garden phlox.

Boo, love the melon DL. It looks lickable!

Deb, good luck doing the gardening with puppy. I had one pup that followed me quietly while I was planting impatiens. When I was finished I turned around to find that he had diligently pulled out every single one.

Nuts, if you need more Mimosa just let me know:) They readily reseed.
Cute frogs!!

The very tall Autumn Minaret daylily.

Thanks for the offer of the mimosa trees, venu209, but one is enough for me. I only have 1.25 acres here, and would like to keep a lot of sunny areas. Have enough shade around here. Love to have more trees, but there just isn't room. I need a really big place.

Here's some JoePye Weed.

JoePye weed and monarda 'Raspberry Wine', second flush of blooms on the monarda.

Variegated phlox 'Nora Leigh' and persicaria 'Red Dragon'.

Challenger daylily

Comfry (in front) and Cosmos.

Cosmos

Cosmos again.

Verbena bonariensis

Rudbeckia 'Sonora' and Gailardia 'Golden Goblin'. The Rud is not hardy here.

Echinacea 'Double Decker'. This is the best doubling I've seen on it all year. Not a good one, at least for doubling anyhow.

Agastache 'Tutti Fruitti and the very tall Rudbeckia nitida 'Autumn Sun'.

Annual salvia 'Coral Nymph'.
