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

I think I'll choose the mosaic next time. Its hard to manipulate images in collage.

Smells like grape Kool-aid---I love it! I've several that have a grape smell, & I always have my nose buried in them---neighbors must think I'm nutty. That lupine is gorgeous----none will grow for me. Jo Ann---very pretty colors in the collage---Victor---nice accomplishment! Here is rose 'Morden Sunrise'....

And peony 'Bowl of Cream'---I think...

NOID iris.....

And clem 'Walenburg' just opening...

Hey - - -got my artsy fartsy stuff in place.
A shallow bowl on a steel post

.flat tile with birds

.Bird form that hange on a tree

.Tree earring
four feet long

WOW! Beautiful pieces ge1836. Luv the NOID iris Robin. The robins are warring over nesting materials and spots today. While the females are squabbling, the males are hanging on the fence by the bird bath together. Sorta like their wha wall with refreshing beverages in the summer. One nest start got trashed by a rival robin a little while ago.

Nature is cruel sometimes, where is Walt Dysney when we need him.
He sure knew how to dumb down the real stuff.

Really. This is last year's nest that one pair thinking of re-using

And this is the site that another pair has chosen where the nest start was knocked down. I ASK you. HELLO Robins there are perfectly good 50 foot trees out there (snort)

Those spots are protected from rain

Righto ge. I think they choose these sites cuz of h*a*i*l which is bouncing around out there while I type. I wonder what planet I live on?

Good grief sounds awful.

Ge1836. I love the bird shape especially.

dahlianut, Perhaps the males were having an artsy fartsy discussion about the aesthetics of the, now internationally known ceramic bird forms in Pittsford, NY and the struggle of man to fly, foolish folks, all. Patti

pixie like that lamium will have to look into it.

ge - i like the garden art and the tree earring - would never wear one myself although i have a couple trees that would like yours

Thanks all.

Great shots, Celeste! Love the lighting on the geum and really love the lupine color. Do you know what that first columbine is? I like it.

Love the rose and noid iris, Robin.

Cool pieces, Jo Ann. I really like the flat tile.

Good luck with the nests, dnut. I have a robin nest in my pool arch.

Here is Oso Easy Strawberry Crush. I'm really liking these Oso Easy roses - this is their second year. No disease problems at all.

Itea Little Henry.

New Dawn.

New Dawn with The President - finally blooming together.

Annuals I picked up on Thursday.

Will Goodwin.

Cotinus Grace.

Last - Josephine.

Pixie, I had one earlier, but someone ided it. I get most of mine from IrisMA, so that's a rare event as she usually knows what she is sending. From her piont of view, no noids allowed. (moms!)

such gorgeousness, everyone! Victor, is Josephine a clematis? Divine.

Here is The Prince

This is Comte de Champagne

Here is a Geoff Hamilton bud

And here is Abraham Darby, with a hunk taken out of it by some bug, of course. But what a wow ...

o I how I luv June for the roses ^_^

Very pretty, Daisy! Yes, it's a clem.

I love 'Prince'!!!

Geoff Hamilton reminds me of my 'native' rose. Also, New Dawn.

Prairie Princess.

Yes, there is a resemblance to New Dawn, except Hamilton does not climb. Victor, I was going to add Comte the Champagne to the Plant File ... I don't see it there yet .. but it said an admin has to start a thread? And it asked for stuff like Genus, etc. Am I just not getting it? Thanks

Amsonia.

My pool arch - where the robin nest is.

Yes, Daisy - when you add a plant you have to put in all the basic info. The family would be Rosaceae and the genus would be Rosa.

Last - Bald Cypress Peve Minaret.
