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

A sweet little Viola that happily reseeded in moss!

Let's try that Five Spot again!

Dyane, I love the color of that Can Can!

Sue, that's a gorgeous cool woods shot.

Painted Daisy 'James Kelway'

Fragrant pathways Gardenia

I haven't had a chance to start my veggie garden yet so I still have them inside....this zucchini is in a half of milk jug

Johnny jump up

Lespedeza thunbergii, Bush Clover

First bloom, started from seed in Spring 2008.

Columbine 'William Guiness'

First time seeing this one bloom as well. I bought it in Spring 2007 and had to move it. Just now settled in and happy.

Peony 'Kansas'

Flame Azalea, Rhododendron calendulaceum

Dyane - your Wm. Guiness photographs much better than mine! It's up against a stone wall, with its head nodding towards the wall. I suppose I should've moved the wheelbarrow and fence first!

I gotta get me one of those azaleas! It's drop-dead gorgeous!

Thanks Sue. I've been trying to get a decent shot of William Guiness for a few days now. When the sun is shining on it, it looks red in the photo and if it's too dark it gets lost in the background.
I just got the Azalea at a native plant sale. It wasn't in bloom but I figured that a plant with 'Flame' in its name would be striking and it is.

Here is a closeup...

one of the peonies I found on the property in full shade which I replanted in full sun has one bud on it cant wait to see what the flower looks like, I found eight peonies all planted in full shade lol last owner didnt read tags or something

They'll come back into bloom with the right conditions.

I gave them bone meal when I transplanted them and now I am feeding them every week hoping that since they are not very tall yet only about a foot that maybe its just the beginning of them starting to bloom the irises are all budded and they usually bloom first then the peonies, I found another one today planted in the middle of hostas in full shade I will move it tomorrow lol I am going to have the most amazing peonie bed when they all bloom

I don't think it's the same one Allison. The mystery one I got from you has a blue tongue.

Here's the white one from you. I think it's Immortality.

Steve:

Wisteria Amethyst Falls. This is an American variety rather than Chinese. It won't eat your house, swallow the car and make you wonder where your kids went. I've only had it for 2 or 3 years and it's blooming nicely. It was also gracious enough to make a few babies without my help. If anyone is interested in some babies, let me know.

Huldine in the morning.

Huldine in the afternoon

I cant believe that my 69 cent little had dead clematis I bought last august are all doing great they all have buds so I will soon know what I have hahahahah the leaves are all different I made sure of that so they would all have different flowers planted six of them
this is so exciting, its the wait and see game

Close, closer of Baptisia. I love this plant.

A peony. Usually when the peonies bloom there is a major rain and wind storm landing the blooms in the mud. This bloom has been up for almost a week!

Mona, you'll have fun solving the mysteries!
Here's one of my mysteries. NOID.

The roses are putting on a great display this year. Eden

Polareis

Very nice Louise.

O venu how luvly! I have some more pics from today but a refreshing beverage is required after another full day of planting. I'll join in with the early birds in the morning. Nitey nite all.

Such great stuff going on today. Too much to mention it all!

Dyane.... I'm so glad that you recovered quickly and had the opportunity to smell the azalea! They are quite a treat huh? What a great memory you have too!!! that was a while ago.
