Garden Photo's 09 .........25

I have a ton of these peonies all over the place

Rhodies are still going strong

Climbing roses are loaded with buds this year.

Here is a rose bud ..... 'Mirandy'

Here's one last shot for now .... A wide view of the front corner garden where the walk to the front door meets the driveway.

I am thinking about how to redo the whole thing, as most of the single stem roses have reverted to their climbing rose root stock. Not sure I am the best at growing those types of roses. Though the climbing roses I have mastered.

Also, there are periods, as you can see here, where there are not a lot of blooming going on. The daylilies need dividing, as does the centauria, which both crowd out the Oriental Poppy which really doesn't go (colorwise) with anything in that area.

There are irises in there. Bee balm, milkweed, columbine, daylilies, hyacinths, holly, balloon flowers, liatris, vinca, penstemon digitalis, lady's mantle, lavender, chinese lanterns, probably a dozen roses, some reverted to climbing as said, Marsh Hibiscus (one of the belles), and I am sure some things I am forgetting ..... Way too many things for that tiny spot, eh?

NOID blue iris is a siberian, not a Japanese--which one I do not know.

Can I post my NOID child here???

Only if child can post NOID parent--fair is fair.

Maybe I should post it on the UPS website??

Nice pics, everyone!

Victor, I love the your roses Pure Poetry, the native pink and the NOID white. And the peony is luscious!

You have a lot going on there, Willie. I love your blue and white NOID iris, as well as the yellow and white. Very nice! The agave is great! I love agave. Hey, I have some overcrowded gardens, too! So much to be done!

Great blooms Willie, that's a pretty packed garden...taking lessons from Victor?

Tradacantia- white and pink

siberian iris Riverdance

Forget the name of this plant. I got it from White Flower Farm and the tag has gone missing in the last couple of years.

lastly, a clump of my siberian irises.

Gorgeous!
Absolutely thrilling to see everyone's blooms and blossoms!
Simply breath-taking!

That Riverdance Sib is nice, Jumper!

The yellow iris in the pond are I. pseudacorus--their seed pods float. one reason that they are invasive.

For once I thought that I was getting caught up for the day fairly quickly! Then I saw the new thread. Boy was I wrong! lol

Thanks all!

Bill, your oriental poppy is a fantastic color! what kind is it? Beni Hime is looking good!

Candyce... those columbines are great... no matter what they are! I'm not usually a fan of pink either, but it looks good there.

Jo Ann... those purple columbines are lovely, so is the picture of them!

Victor... great pics, especially the "lost the tag" one. Great lighting on that.

Flowerjen... you must get some late blooming rhodies then! Several of the latest ones are fragrant too! unfortunately there's not much of a color choice when you get into the June blooming rhodies, but hey... it's flowers!

Jumper.... very nice! Nice yard too!

Willie... OMG, you have soooo much going on at your place. It's wonderful. How much property do you have?

jumper, I think that Lamium 'white nancy' is the name of your tagless plant. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2886/

my most dependable, dark purple, rhody. The elk have tried to kill this one on several occasions. Every time I go out and clean it up by pruning the sticks that they leave behind. They didn't bother it too much last year and it finally has more than 4 blooms on it and a pretty decent shape!!

scabiosa.... I may have already posted this one.

a stick.

WOW Shelly thats a beautiful Purp Rhodi.
I'm just learning Picasa,DD#1 did the colage Now I have to figure out how to do the first step.
I'm visiting Debilu 's garden today, cant wait.
Did I post these? The new lap-top has me in a time warp.
I have 1 siberian about to bloom,its tiny ,division just planted this spring.
"Chilled Wine" bud, I'm so thrilled to see this.
These new irises were giving me angst, now I can stop hovering.I'll get another shop when the sun comes up.

Royal Candles

My Royal Candles didn't make it back this year...

Everyone's pics are great. I see one and think it's my favorite, then I see another and another.... At this point I'll need several acres to satisfy my wish list!!! And quite a bank roll!!!

My June colage
Still working out the kinks in Picasa.

Nice pics, Bill. I love the OP.

Shelly, I love the purple rhodie! I bought a purple one this year. Just have to plant it now.

Jo Anne, that Royal Candles is lovely.
