Garden Photos of '09.....#23

I can't remember if I posted this or not.

last pic for tonight.

My Pattys Plum OP is about to bloom.
We are having T showers all day so no bloom pic.

bad news... don't think it was in the collection I thought it was... here are the zebra

the blue one from spring hill looks closer

and of course the white one doesn't have a real name either

oh well....I bought these before I knew about these names being made up 1/2 the time

wow Michigan bulb had the white ones real name on the website.. Low Ho Silver... LOL

Beautiful. I'm lovin' everyone's irises.

Thanks Allison, Jen, and Shelly!

Allison, I will be happy to give a piece of that iris a home! It definitely is not the one in the Plant Files link. It looks like it has darker blue streaking in it, which I love.

I really love that Duchess of Edinburgh clem, Victor! Spectacular!

Shelly, this place has Gala Madrid: http://www.degroot-inc.com/documents/DeGroot_IrisMailer.pdf . They have a bunch of luscious looking ones I like, but I don't see prices.

Karen

I usually mulch them after I trim them back and they do fine
I have a butterfly plant that I was told would not grow in my zone and it has made it with the two worst winters in many years since I cut it down to about a foot and put two bags of mulch with a plastic over it to keep it from getting wet and freezing

I will have to wait and see on this one if it makes it but will collect the seeds and try them to see what happens I have gotten some hybids to grow from seed but germination is very low like less than 10 per cent but I am a patient person I will keep trying till I get things right lol

Good for you, Mona---butterfly bushes are iffy here, but they look OK this year. Victor, loved the pink iris, & white clem---all your clems are winners! Karen, you have a wonderful collection of hostas---Shelley, I, too, love that rhodo. Allison, I think my blue iris are the same, but don't know their name, either! Here is a hosta with huge leaves, & the vase shape of Krossa Regal----any ideas?

The actual color on this is off---the blue is really navy....

nice

here's whats blooming at our house

This is an MTB my Dad did. I love the irodesent quality. Billie the Brownie.

"Look all your fault, I stepped in poop!"

Wall-e

MTB picture a bit fuzzy, but it is a difficult iris to photograph. Jen-loved the child & dog photos.

Beautiful shots from everyone!!

Karen - I love your "Dazzling Gold" and the Madrid iris's especially!

Jen - that shot of Wall-e sniffing the shoe is adorable!! Cute kid too!! I love the shot of Wall-e in the grass too. He's SO handsome!!

Shelly - love that rhodie!!

Robin, I think your vase shaped hosta is montana aureomarginata. Onewish, I love that little pale Heuchera with the red flowers!

The hosta are loving all this rain. This one is the most improved over last year in my garden...so much bigger. Tokudama Flavocircinalis

Queen of the Seas hosta and 'Misty Lace' Aruncus.

solid blue vase shape could also be krossa regal if the flowers are white

Wall-e is too cute

I just love the pic of the dog sniffing her sandle I would blow that up and put it on the wall so sweet and she will get such a laugh out of the pic when she is older

I think you would be right

I'd do that too! Great idea, Mona!
