Cricket your sooooo funny!



I love your window baskets Sheri!!!!!!!


No Lynne I didn't buy it It was blooming then and wouldn't bloom again for a lonnnnnnnnng time,, ,, That's how they get you to buy those once in a great while blooming species like that,,

Very nice pics gals, so healthy looking.

Sheri, the colour of your siding in the second pic is what I want to paint my living room in the fall.

chinese fringe


hibiscus


both at my favorite mcdonald's but they have good landscapers

Ah so that's your favorite McDonalds? They do have good landscapers. Here at our McDonalds it's all landscaped but just with boxwoods, junipers, that kind of thing. Nothing pretty.

Sheri I love your morning glories. I'll have to snap some pics of mine. They spread all over the place each year and I just sort of let them go. They are always so healthy and so full of blooms each year.

BTW, is that some of the touch me nots you have growing in the pot in your one pic there? Mine have spread everywhere. Not to mention that Athena keeps popping open the seed pods all over the place.

boy that McDonald's has it going on.

Yes, Loz. You sent me those seeds. I love them. They don't go wild in that area because of the shade I guess.

I pull up morning glories because they wind up the other flowers and kill them. Those are growing around the compost pile.

Belinda, I love yellow. I have a buttercup wall in my kitchen. I have the color of the siding somewhere. If you want I'll find it for you.

Those window baskets are doing pretty good after the rain. I can water them right out those kitchen windows but they never look as good as they do after some rain.

I didn't plant these morning glories at the garden arch,, they just grow everywhere,, I like that it has blooms at the top..





bachelor buttons took a long time to come up and bloom but finally here

i like

your arch is pretty Diane.

Thanks Sheri,,,,,,, and Jiffy

I posted this in the Brug thread,, but for those of you that don't go there,, Here it is again,,,,,,,,, Jessica this is the snowcone,,,,,, are you interested in a piece in the fall?? or anyone else ?? there will be many pieces( cuttings) when I over winter it<

Me me meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Pretty please?!?

okay

this marigolds show up in my vege garden every year. I think that's why I don't have a problem with bugs.

I have a crepe myrtle in the middle of some oak trees that only blooms at the top because of the shade. I had my camera pointing straight up. Talk about tenacity.

one of my azaleas has a few blooms on it

This money plant shimmers in the sunlight and then again in the evening. It's so pretty.

the lorepedlum is in full bloom

I would LOVE a piece Diane!!! Let me know and I will pay shipping!

will they stand up to the cold Jessica?

sheri, your gadren is so nice

I will have to bring them in the house for the winter!

thanks Belinda. It's a work in progress.

rose of sharon blooming

Wow Diane. Very pretty.

I don't understand it here...we've been getting frost and things are still blooming. I think I cut things back to early this year...even my daylilies and roses are putting on a second show, hope I didn't cause damage to anything.

Lynne here is the pineapple sage seeds you gave me it has gone crazy,,, and new babies are starting already from seeds dropping Thank you Lynne!





I put one by the HB feeder and now I watch the HB go back and forth between the plant and the feeder it's too awesome to grap the camera,, I just only want to watch it,, !

so Diane, you have 3 plants started from seeds Lynne sent?

Well two really ,,,,,,, But I dug up a piece of the larger one and potted it up to put by window feeder Sheri it is awesome to see the hummer go back and forth like he's at a buffet table full of food!!!!and yep started them with seeds in the spring from Lynne

Diane - that is so terrific!!! I'm so glad that the hummers appreciate that buffet you have put out there for them, and that you get to enjoy watching them!

If I had more seeds, I would send you some Sheri, but I only had a few when I sent them all to Diane - sorry.

you've already seen the yellow roses ,, now the pink and red are exploding with blooms

My moms lantana that comes back every year



and her butterfly bush

WOW Sheri I've Never seen a Lantana so Huge!!!!!!!! that is awesome!

I know. It's gigantic and they've cut it back.

a few four o'clocks have shown up in my window boxes

Sheri - that lantana is AMAZING!!! I have never ever seen one so large!
Wish they were perennial here - they barely make it through each summer here - this year was particularly bad because the Japanese beetles ate my 2 to shreds and they did not make a come-back.

Lantana don't do extremely well for me either. That's at my mothers. Guess what. We didn't even have the dreaded Japense beetles this year for some reason.

That is beautiful Sheri!!

Sheri I LOVE that Lantana!!!! I love Lantana and never dreamed they got that big!!

Diane, I love those pink roses!!! You always have such a beautiful yard!!

in the still of the night,,,,,

Gorgeous!!!
