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

Columbine William Guinness Off Color

These have freely self-seeded for the better part of 20 years now and some variations are starting to show up.

I am going to bag these and see if they come out the same color from seeds. Probably not, eh?

Columbine mutant!

Dame's Rocket Centauria

This just seemed like a neat shot.

NOID Iris

This angle gives a better idea of the color of the rises.

I just planted Black Barlow from Bluestone sale. Hope mine is as nice as yours.
Here is my Wm.Guiness

Another NOID Iris

Here's another mutant Columbine shot against the sky.

Have yours mutated, JoAnn?

Yet Another NOID Iris ... though this one isn't a TB

Kind of contrasty NOID Oriental Poppy

Any ideas? It has to be a common one ... it was from one of those Spring Hill Garden Designed Garden samplers.

NOID Rhodie

Solomon's Seal flowers on the way out

Look how big my baby is getting

NOID Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash Flowering

Last one.... The sun just came out .... better be gettin' busy!

Hey all you Herb Heads!! Should I be cutting this back, removing all the flowers??

Summer Savory Flowering.

I finally have some blooms to post (it was raining over the past 4 days and I didn't want to muck up my camera :-/ )

I got my ginormous order in from Cherlday from the Lily Auction today, all 26 of them! I posted pics on the DL forum.

For those of you not familiar with her, ORDER...lol. I purchased all double/2 fans from her, and many were triple, quadruple, and 5 and a few 6 fan clumps!

I'm doing the DL happy dance!!!

venu209, I love your CPM. Actually, all of your roses are so gorgeous, makes me want to try growing roses!

aaaahhhhh I was only gone a few hours... that's a lot of photos!!

Venu love the Nicole... and Willie love all the columbines! ... no clue about the savory... sorry

Thom... congratulations... your order sounds wunderful.
Nice pics Willie.... I'm with Allison, I love the columbine!
Venu.... All lovely! The autumn sunset with NJ sunrise is my fav.

Willi what mutated?
I hope not, altho I have heard the spurred Aquiligeas can become doubles.How does that happen?
Bees?

Maybe mutate is not the right term. Not coming true from seed? is more what I mean.

I am not sure I have had the Black Barlow long enough for them to cross breed with the William Guinness .... maybe. Don't really see any columbine in the neighbor's yards. Not much flowers at all, in fact.

Do you mean if the plant self sows in the garden,the flowers color is different?
This is DD's Black Iris, Ive waited 2 days to see this.

siberian iris Harbor Mist

rose I got from neighbor before they moved

I bought a black iris... it did not live... cheap place and not a shock

nice SI Jumper

Thanks

here is a better pic of the rose

Nice gardens Jumper

I like Harbor Mist!
Nice black iris Jo Ann

Loved the color on the columbines, Willie---mine never self seed. Jo Ann, your black iris & Jumper's yellow rose would make a nice combo! Thom---where are your photos posted? Here is MBI Bumblebee---I think!

Bumblebee Deelite is the full name.

What a collection of great gardens (and gardeners!). Every picture has something to learn from (and maybe steal an idea from?). Thank you!

Great pics, everyone!

Willie, I love your pic of the spaghetti squash bloom. That's a very nice one!

Hemhostaholic, I'm glad you got such a nice order from Cheryl. I just got 16 DL's from her, and they were good, though you sound like you got much better ones. Mine also came postage due and ended up sitting at the post office for over a week, as I was unable to make it there to pick them up. I sent her an email about that tonight.

Jo Anne, that black iris is just scrumptious!!!!

That MBI Bumblebee Deelite is great!

daisygrrl, beware....this thread will make your wishlist grow and grow and grow!!!!

Dyane

Boy, does it ever!!!

I agree! Look at the results of our first two year's of an uncompleted wish list!

This photo was taken two weeks ago. Today it looked great, but the tulips are beginning to go by. I hope to get more photos tomorrow, if the family cooperates.

very pretty Candyce!

Robin....Pretty Iris
Candyce.....That view is lovely, you've done a great job there!
Jo Ann... that black iris is fantastic. Is that the actual name of it?
Jumper.... very nice!

a callicarpa waking up already, I think it's confused.
