Garden Pics: 'Postcards from the Garden.'...#7

Dale that is a very nice bed of flowers. Is that some of your handy work?Pretty!

Dale, we enjoy the same. Hope you keep adding to the thread. (We DO grow a few of those things, in the house or in the greenhouse.)
We have another contributor from Texas and love to see the stuff she posts as well.

Most of my photos are of coleus>

but once a month (or less) I force myself to go out into public, usually a public garden>

Dale that public garden looks so pretty! Love your other photos, too. One of my sons was in town for a few days and we went to the Portland Rose Garden, which of course is amazing, but then we went to the Japanese Garden. Oh what a treat! Lush and peaceful with wonderful plant combinations of color and texture. I have lived in Portland 15 months and had never been there. I will return very soon.

Hey Dale... I love to see you work and looking forward to seeing more of it too make us all drool! lol Beautiful coleus!

Judi... you'll make it there (the Rose Garden) someday!

Just in case anyone missed it due to my chatting on this thread after the fact.......


Here's the new thread! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1002348/

Red we did go to the Rose Garden, then the Japanese Garden after that. i like the Japanese Garden better - it is more peaceful.

Dale - welcome. It's fun to have you in this forum. And you're right - it's so interesting to see the plants one can't grow. It's also interesting to see how different the plants we both can grow look in the different environments.

Usually, everything we have is all leaves. This summer, we're having a near-record-setting dry spell (25+ days without rain). And, not only has it been dry, but it's been sunny almost all those days, which is unheard of. The plants and bees are going crazy. We have had many blossoms on plants and they have stayed longer than usual. Our rhododendrons have been spectacular.
