BEAUTIFUL as usual everyone!
Garden Photo's 09 .........24
Victor, your pond looks like a true oasis!
I love Irises. Here's my Starship Enterprise.
Behind it is, left, Earl of Essex, and Busy Being Blue. The yellows are Honorabile.
this is Pumpkin Cheesecake!
Oh, Celeste, I forgot to mention that I like your "Little House in the Woods"!
Thanks Sue! Great irises - wonderful colors.
Here is clem Ramona scrambling all over.
Duchess of Edinburgh.
Blue Light.
Last - hummer paradise! Manifich honeysuckle.
Victor, what is blue light?
A clem.
Nice!
Thanks - sorry for the blurry shot.
Great photos, everyone! It's raining here right now, and I'm trying to catch up before I have to go do my overnight shift. Would love to stay home and sleep in my own bed.
Shelly, the pics you posted on the previous thread of the Kousa flowers are very nice!
Stormyla, that peach rose pic you posted on the previous thread looks luscious! I love your Speaking Freely TBI, too! And that Dickson's Gold campanula is to die for! I must have that one! Another to add to my very long want list. Your Sum and Substance must be young. Mine is enourmous now! Wouldn't make many divisions, but the leaves are huge!
Cousin Nut, I think I have that same red and yellow primrose that you posted on the previous thread. I have a lot of it, and it really puts on a show.
Cute little house Celeste! I love it! And that Forever Blue dwarf iris is a stunner! Something else to add to the want list!
Well, gotta go to work now, and I'm not even caught up on this thread. I don't know how anyone keeps up!
Karen
I agree, Karen---the plants are fantastic! I loved all the roses, & iris & the campanula---will be looking for that one. The clems are doing so well---Blue Light is so different looking. So was Dahlia's tulip. Planted yesterday & weeded---today, nothing! Went to look at the solar panels being installed at son's house.
What size system is your son getting, Robin?? Cool.
Victor, Your garden looks fantastic. It's so nice to see a wide shot.
Thanks Dyane. I posted a number of wide shots on the Long View thread.
I'll take a look. I've been meaning to go and post over there but I can barely keep up with this one and get all my planting done!
NutsforDaylily, you're right the Sum & Substance is 2 years old. It was 4 times that size last year and did not like being moved. If I have to move it again, it may revert to infancy. There are just not that many spots in a garden that can accomodate a plant of it's mature size and still give it the proper growing conditions. That Peach rose is also very fragrant.
Victor, your pond area is truly beautiful.
Pixie & Primrosesue, love your Iris, especially that Pumpkin Cheescake. This is a NOID Intermediate Iris.
That is one cool looking iris.

One of the 2 new blooms today. The other pic didn't come out so I'll take one tomorrow.
Cornflower from my wildflower garden
rodies might have suffered some wind burn this winter - it did not get the flower buds!
another look at them
it is really red - nirobe
Wha, Those are spectacular Rhodos. Do you know the name of that conifer in front of them?
last for here - new home for the blue spruce
hi storm - can-t find the name of it just check my journal - it is probably in the bag of tags sittign here that i have not got to yet.
Great shots, Bill. Rhodies are magnificent.
Wha, That Fern & Hosta garden is really lovely.
Yes, very nice. Which fern is that and what's that between the fern and the hosta?
thx Victor - my wife just commented today that this is the best they have ever bloomed
storm thx
fern is xmass fern - they are all over here - and in between is an invasive spirea that will be ripped out as soon as the little yellow ones lj sent me last fall grow up - they have another couple years to live - then to the fire pit with them
oh man.... i think my blue light is the wrong one... looks nothing like yours Victor
great photos today all... going to go pass out.. night all
That looks like it, Allison. They don't all come double.
