Post your fav. garden shot from last season please, or a pic of your fav plant, bloom, color combo. Let's brighten up the view at least on this "window". Here is one of my favorite flowers. Feel free to post several, I think we all need it after the last couple of weeks.

oooo! I really like those. Of course I like every lily. I have been moving all mine into the same area of the garden so I can watch for the dreaded lily leaf beetle. Can't have a garden without lilies though no matter what attacks them. I wonder if I could squeeze in a few more? Is that phlox in back there? Which one is that? Very nice combo. I can almost smell the perfume, Mmmmm...I needed that. Thanks.

I didn't take many pictures in 2008, not that I want to post. Here's a 2007 favorite.

LOL, there are many critters here saying the same thing.

Oh tulips, I can't wait to see them again Carrie. Victor that lily just glows, gorgeous. Just look at that sunny bloom from Allison. Keep 'em coming and don't forget a garden shot and color combos. Here is one of my fav color combinations from last year.

I love it

Victor those clem shots are very good and a nice combo of lav. and gaillardia O&L. Is that Hidcote superior lav.? I think I ordered that , oh and the oranges and lemons too. Ha! I used to have a nice old Hidcote but it got a little too woody after many years so I am replacing with this one, don't know if there is any difference.
I have those lilies on my list of must gets from your pic Celeste. That has to be one of the great lily combos going.
John your garden path is calling me to take a stroll on a warm summer afternoon, soon we all can I hope. And what else can put a big fat smile on your face faster than a sunflower. Just great, thanks I needed that.
JoAnne all your pics are very pretty combos. I think my fav. is the one with the purple dome asters. I hope mine look that good next year. This year they got a little naked at the knees do to our drought here. Lovely pics one and all.:)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Yes - Hidcote Superior.

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

Those purple dome asters are from Bluestone.
The color is amazing.

Thanks for the nice words everyone.
Eleanor I think your clem combo is looking good and will be even better this year.
Allison your tulips are so pretty. I hope they return along with a nice long spring this year. I love those lily shaped tulips.
Nice shading on that lily bloom, very delicate Celeste. Soon the smell of lilies will fill garden again, I can hardly wait.
Mrs,J that is a gorgeous pic of a sunflower. No way you can get sunnier than that, sure does make you smile. Thanks everyone!
