A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Blooming Fine 21..........

Pink large Zinna on sale at Lowes 1.99$ at Lowes for a 2 gallon pot,, but I got for free because I dead head (ed) a load of Zinna's seeds for the cashier,,




many of these blooms are about to go to seed so I'll have a good amount for next spring!

And the planter it's in,, was a very old one I had, I spray painted it Ivory this afternoon,, it only took about 10 minutes to dry in 105 degrees and very windy, Yep I know I shouldn't have been using spray paint under a heat advisory,, But I'm just toooo impatient,, and I wanted these in a pot!

Woww
Your a good picker and flower raiser.

Love your collection.

Use what I use to keep our 180-pound mastiff from 'messing up' the front and backyard. I hook a Scarecrow Sprayer in each yard. It has a motion sensor on it and when it detects someone - it will give the yard a good spray! Scares me when I forget it's on! I bought it on Amazon. It work! Now he goes out in the trees.

Would deserve them right to get a good spray!

Wonderful Idea........

You will be famouse on that one..

:ding:

Pretty shots!

Here is my Thunbergia Trellis again.

Loz will that come back next year??

oh pretty. Great deal Diane , so deadheading is a good thing at a nursery.

No, it's unfortunately an annual. But my local nursery always has a "deal" table where they pick certain things and sell them cheap. I got those in a huge pot for $3 each. And I love morning glories, but I really wanted something different on that trellis. And I'd never come across Thunbergia in the nursery before, so I had to have it.

I didn't know how high it would grow but it's making it all the way up there now. Sorry about the cords stuck thru the trellis, Mark wrapped the pool cord around there.

If you see a plant right between the grass and trellis, sorta behind the grass there---it's a tomato plant. Popped up all by itself so I just left it there.

Ps

But not in a baby nursery....LOL Huh tamara??

dodge, you're a nut.

People like nuts............ :ding:

Sheri and Dodge ~ Yep we like nuts alright!



Crepe myrtle along the side of the house, I pruned it way back this year ,, I should have kept of with the new branches growing from the base of the trunk,, but ,, at least they bloomed too,,

I will take white ...Wow it perks right out at you....
How long do they bloom? Reminds me of our rhodendrums, I cant get to grow..

Awesome as usual.

Love the purple and white combo together. Looks nice Diane.

Diane, I can't understand if you're as dry as we are how you're getting all those beautiful blooms. From where are you REALLY beamed in?

Sheri
She gets up at 4:30 every morning and waters her plants.......Very dedicated.. Might be a winner against dry....Cause the plants have time to soak up the good water before it drys.

I SOak mine after the sun is droppin in the west........

She is good.

Thanks Dodge for explaining it for me,, I didn't want to type that whole thing over again and Sheri,, I have let a lot of plants die back sacrificing them until next spring when they will come back,, in order to use my water for the plants I want to keep thru fall so At least I'll have plants blooming for a while btw it is 107 here today heat index,,

Wow! More beautiful pictures I see on here!!

My pleasure.......

Shirley you missed a million .. Angelblossom is in high gear on here.
