Garden Photos of '09.....#21

Acouple of times I've had something cut them a couple of inches from the ground. I'm thinking rabbits.
Victor, any favorites you think I might try?

Oh, you are very lucky then, Victor. I wish I would stop getting it. Maybe I will call the local extension office and see if they can help me with a remedy for that. So far I have not had that problem on the 'Guernsey Cream' one. I have read that the large flowered clems are most susceptible to it.

Karen

Yes, I would do that, Karen. I do remember Debbie (Silver Star) telling me once that what many think is wilt is actually something else, but I don't remember what!

Jumper - what color is the rose?

Jen I love that Ruby Port... I don't think your snapdragon is one... the leaves usually don't look like that.. unless it's something I haven't seen... but I have been growing them for years and never saw one that looked like that... maybe something close to it?

Thanks Victor....and gorgeous shots! I love clem niobe. It always looks so regal! It's fun watching the Allium! You can't possibly ID 100% of everything... but if anybody could, it'd be you.

Jumper.... I love the Iris Indian Doll. In fact I think that you may have just ID'ed a noid of mine.

Jen... the Ruby port is very pretty.

Everyones Alliums are way ahead of most of mine.

Thanks Allison! Both of those flowers belong to the same plant! that's part of what makes it my favorite! Hopefully I'll get a good picture of the whole plant tomorrow.

Some more from this past weekend.

I'm actually ok with this bed, minus some weeding and dividing.

Check out the size of this flower!!! for comparison... the leaves in the background are standard sizes large leaves for a Rhody.

another view of it.

a cute rhody flower

a sweet little clematis.

beautiful rhodie Shelly.
Ive never seen flowers that big.

I like that striped one RC

hey Shelly.
I am soooo happy.I think of you every time I see these.
One will not be as blue as the other,it gets a bit of early AM sun.

the other

i just love this heuchera venus

Thanks Shelly. Beautiful rhody. Nice heuchera, Jo Ann. Did you plant the Corallinum yet? Make extra sure the site is very well-drained and protected from PM sun. It's a fussy one and the one I recently got from that 'co-op' has apparently failed, despite my best efforts.

I'll take a pix.be back soon
Gets AM sun and bright shade all day except late afternoon.

hmmm if it's not a baby snap I have to do some investigating.

Those rhodies are gorgeous, I love the striped one.
Nice heuchera, Jo Ann

I'm back.
Mothers Day present
mystery color TreePeony is blooming ,I dont care what color it is,I wanted one for years and couldnt grow one at the old house.

Pretty!

coralineum not even as high as the lilies nearby

Think they can see us in this "haze"? The stupid blue fecus I planted last year - grrrrr

a vertical

love the pics such beautifull flowers

Thanks, folks for all those great photos---Jo Ann---you've ID'd my huechera! And I'm drooling over the yellow peony! Shelley, loved the striped rhodo, but the white was lovely, too---Victor---clems are too nice, mine are only budded. Karen, loved the Sea Sprite---I know it was bred by Mildred ? & can't think of her last name! Karen, your first NOID looks like asparagus. Here is my big white rhodie blooming....

A bright pink...

A salmon Jacob's Ladder...

TBI's opening...

And a fav dianthus...

Thanks All.... if/when I ever mover from here, the striped rhody is going with me. It'll be in the contract. lol

Jo Ann... I can't think of any better remembrance plant than a pretty blue hosta. Thanks!!
The tree peony is lovely. as is the heurchera. I think that I want that one now!.

Very pretty pretties Robin!

Schicken.... Why not just trim the flower stalks of the fescue off? if that's the issue.

RC I am going to rip them outta the ground! Just another dumb stupid move and more to happen

This is Hot Fudge.
Victor, the rose is red.
Redchic01, glad I could help with the ID
