A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Blooming Fine #17...................

Mel, I'll try to get some seeds. It's so funny to see all the white ones and then to have this red sticking out there and now it looks like another red is about to pop.

Daffodils starting to bloom here. DD has my camera at school but I'll get pics tonight.

I have those mulliens to, they reseed so easily.

that's exciting news Tamara. How long does your spring last?

Well, we get frost til the first week of June usually.

then when does the winter show up and whack all your plants?

We get frost again at the end of August or first of September then the snow starts in October~ I don't have a good growing season.

Late daffodils



Rockcress, basket of gold, iris



I love this combination, ajuga and euphorbia, hosta

pretty colors.

Thanks Sheri

Beautiful.

i love looking at the pictures, even when i don't comment. this is one of my favorite threads. here is my contribution today

Gorgeous rose, Jiffy!

And I love those daffodils Mel!!!

Tamata Where ever did you find that flower??? I love how it changes colors and the center appears to be ,,, smiling??" that one is rare indeed ,, Niceeeeeeee!

thanks lynne. that rose is the most neglected, ignored plant i have. i almost never dead head. don't remember the last time i fed it. and it blooms all summer. i'm going to try to remember to dead head and feed it. but it is such a happy plant. and that shot just seemed to be the perfect picture

Oh, very nice Jiffy.

beautiful flowers ladies

This year I am partial to orange flowers, though I've not preferred them much before. Except for the few that I grew around my bathtub pond 2 years ago to match the goldfish.

I'm doing the same thing this year for the larger pond with fish.

Here are some zinnias I just had to have - they really are that bright, and it's hard to get a good picture of that color!


Can't remember the name of this one - got it about 2 years agon - it's a perennial.

very nice pics Lynne---and nice zinnias as well.---

Nice and bright Lynne.

I like those too Lynne! BTW Lynne thank you for the pineapple sage seeds you sent,, I planted them in February I believe, and they are now blooming!




This is black mondo Bill gave me in Cedar hill,, I have divided and planted in two different areas and it is now blooming too!



all my lavender is growing huge and blooming I have this in 5 areas between the front and back yard.. and I have different varieties of it,, this variety always seems to grow larger and bloom longer than the rest and doesn't die back in the colder months here.

Everything looks great.

Thanks Tamara...

Gladiolas are blooming..

Only thing blooming here are daffodils...and only a few so far. I have got to get some pics....

Diane - the pineapple sage looks so healthy! WOW!
The fact that you can plant them in February -
Also the fact that it's blooming for you now!!! It never blooms here until mid-September and by then the hummingbirds are usually on their way to points south, so the biggest reason for my planting them is a wash-out.

Though I do love the smell of the leaves - have you smelled them yet?

Nice gladiola! I planted some bulbs last year, but forgot about them.
When I went to plant something else in tha spot about a month ago, I found some bulbs but didn't know what they were. Moved them to a different garden, and they are up about 4 inches now - yep - gladiolas! I don't have much luck with them, so I'm hoping these do well for a change.

Diane, do you like the smell of the pineaple sage? I don't have glads yet.

I have yet to smell the pineapple, I do have a varigated pineapple sage tho that does have a pleasent smell from the leaves when I rub them,, But the one's that are blooming I don't smell anything yet

Diane it's so cool that your plants are so far ahead of most peoples....I'm a tad jealous. Everything looks so pretty!

I have that same lavender, 2 clumps on each side of my pond and it just smells heavenly each year.

I have about 25 glads planted thru the yard, few weeks ago went around and plant another 25. I just love gladiola's! I was eying up those "glaminis", you ever seen them? They are glad's, but mini ones that don't need staked up.....

Gerbers are in bloom



pink azalea

pink antique rose






Diane, if you end up with some seeds can I have a few?

Diane
Sheri
Beautiful flowers......
I never seen a pink glad......
I dont do them much the wind knocks them over.......Makes me mad.
Well done ladys.......Love your style.

Loz I don't have any of the short glad's I've looked for them no where to be found around here,,, Don't be a tad jealous.. in july and august you will have more blooms and I will have more scorched flowers,,



Sheri which flowers are you wanting seeds from?? I'll do my best to get you some,,. just let me know which ones you want..


I planted these seeds from a package at walmart,, I've been waiting on these to bloom and YIPEEEEEEEEe they did today... they got alot taller then I thought they would,, and it's falling over,, I took individual shots of blooms.. I have to figure out a way to stake these with out bunching it up,,

blue star aster..


this branch fell overover onto the hook of the teardrop solar light



and Orange coreopsis

Oh very pretty....

love the colors I usually have cosmos that come back every year on their own

mine are up but not blooming yet

bestofour your blue aster is gorgeous! i planted a variety of aster from seed this year, they are not growing very fast and nowhere near ready to bloom yet.
your azalia is very pretty! I can't get mine to bloom but one or two blooms a year. do you fertilize? how much sun does yours get?
i'll have to post some pics of my viennia's. they are beginning to bloom out like crazy. photobucket is slow for me, so I dread putting pics in sometimes....gotta be in the mood, ya know.

[font:verdana]This is my first clematis bloom for this year.
I don't remember which one it is, but it's very strange -
this flower only has 6 petals, while in all the previous years they had 8.

[/font]

Call it 6 short......Very nice .. Looks like a cross between Nellie moser and jackmanii.....

very nice Lynne---what ever it is.

Yep it does Dodge,, I have a jack mandi that sometimes gets 4 petals and sometimes 6,, don't know what that is about but I still like it just the same.
Very Pretty Lynne!!



Zinnia's are blooming




and Dew plants are blooming came back from last year..
