Garden Photos of '09.... #20

makes me so happy to see some of my hard work return... this one is a balloon flower I collected seeds from and grew last year

a penstemon too

finally the base of the greenhouse is almost level

:)

Great photos---love iris 'Witch of Endor', Victor, & yes, that's penstemon 'Husker's Red' behind the allium. Shelley---great blue poppy! Louise, forgot to say how much I loved your white trillium, & now Meredith has a white turning pink--wow! I also have that yellowy-green stuff blooming in my gardens---I love it outside the fence, but am ripping it out in the main beds---takes up too much room. Patti---nice collages--what was the pink shrub blooming? Jo Ann---yes, I too would stick maple helicopters on my nose! Allison---I have the same verbascum--purple & rose---I love them.

Lucky you! Here's the purple...

And huechera 'Merlot'--I think....

Out of order - but Robindog your pics are nice - very cool color heuchera.

Wow Patti great pics! The two on the bottom of the first picture are very unusual, I love them!

Onewish the variegated phlox is neat, I think that will be a nice change. More interest besides just in spring, it always seems to me that the further from the wild plants get, the less vigorous they are. I am having a hard time getting a white form of Maltese Cross to get bigger than 2" tall. Nothing like the straight species! They grew like mad! : ) You are so lucky that you will soon have a gh! I am envious : ) BTW is that penstemon a Cobaea or Grandiflorus? I threw some seeds down and had a few come up and they look similar to yours. Mine are on there third year and finally look like they will bloom in a couple weeks or so.

Here they are with my weeds lol. : )

everyone has been busy with thier camera's!!
