Garden Photo's 09 .........24

Thanks, everyone!

LOL! Patti, funny about sending your overflow of spirea to Bill and Victor!

Patti, that Sib Ceaser's Brother must be very common. I have a ton of it. At least that's what I think it is. I just sell it as blue Sib iris, but actually I can't even give it away.

Speaking of giving away things, the pic on this post is an iris I have a surplus of. NOID, but a pretty peach. Nothing fancy, but if anyone wants any please D-Mail me. I will give it away for postage, which you can pay after you receive it, or if you're coming to my RU I will save some for you then.

Bill, I don't know what kind of sedum that is. I started going through the plant files, but there are 14 pages of just sedum and not all of them have pics, so I haven't a clue, but I really do like it. I will try and get a close shot of the foliage sometime soon so you can see it.

Daisygirl, I love your pug. He is adorable! I have a real soft spot for pugs. I love the puggles, too.

Thom, I think your upper right NOID peony in collage #1 is Festiva Maxima. The one you said you swear you never planted could be a seedling that came up at one point. That NOID rose you should name 'Indestructible'. LOL! It's a pretty one. Then in collage #2, the flower in the upper right looks like delphinium. I just bought that trad. Sweet Kate. Very pretty! I also just bought a wisteria that I'm going to train to a standard as well. I've always wanted one. In collage #3 I love your white and yellow peony. I also love the white OP.

Yummy, Jo Anne, that Lime Sorbet columbine is divine!

And finally, the corydallis I swear I never planted, but it always appears someplace on the wall-----

Ooooh, Robin, those dianthus are bright. Always remind me of hard candies.

Here's a NOID peony.

Love that corydallis!

Closer on the peony, and different angle.

Another NOID peony. Most of the peonies I have are NOID's, but I love them just the same.

A NOID TBI....

A NOID gold TBI just opening...

Persicaria 'Red Dragon and phlox 'Nora Leigh', and some daylily foliage. I think these make a great combo.

A seedling peony that I just love.

Closer look...

A favorite NOID penstemon.

A different view on the penstemon.

Salvia nemorosa 'Royal Crimson Distinction'

Close-up on the flowers.

A gorgeous coral colored NOID penstemon. Both this and the purple one I planted last year and they've done well over the winter.

Forgot the pic!

NOID rugosa rose...

'Nother pretty NOID TBI...

Pale blue ruffled NOID TBI...

Shoot! Did it again!

Foxglove, Excelsior Hybrid, I think, and Nepeta 'Walker's Low'.

Oof! Too sleep deprived!

Closer on the foxglove...

And last for tonight, close-up of foxglove flower.

BTW, Victor, I just wanted to let you know that I have become quite familiar and comfortable now with my camera's manual functions, and I hardly ever have to fix the exposure after the pic is taken in my photo program now. All I have to do is rotate the vertical ones.

It shows, Karen! Great shots. I really love that seedling peony.

Thanks, Victor!

Karen

nice shots for sure NFD

Nutsforaday, Every picture on this thread has won my heart. I have been gardening for a couple of years & what plants that have bloomed are planted in the wrong spots. As a beginner I think I have planted too many of the wrong plants. What is the name of the geranium putting on such a great show. Thanks

confussedlady

nutsfordaylily, I love that red dragon combo.

Hydrangea 'Lady in Red'

Anemone

TBI 'Whispering Spirits'

Geranium 'Ballerina'

oohh that lady in red is pretty

Thanks you guys!

Confussed, I don't know the name of the geranium. It's quite hardy and very reliable. My mother planted it years ago. I also have white and pink that she planted as well.

Don't worry about having too many of the wrong plants in wrong spots. I have done that many times. I never have a perfectly thought out plan, just some ideas, and I often put too much in one bed, and then things need moving in 2 or 3 years. But that's what gardening is all about, trial and error. Often I end up with happy accidents. The Red Dragon and Nora Leigh is one of those. Didn't plan it that way, but it sure looks nice together.

Robin, that anemone is gorgeous!

Well, I'm off to bed. Already stayed up too late......again!

Karen

Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue'

'Lady in Red' is new for me. I couldn't resist.

Dutch Iris 'Apollo'

This Columbine has two colors on the same plant...
