A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat blooming fine ` A Fresh start to spring/summer

What a gorgeous setting, Diane!
It looks so welcoming and bright and cheery!
It's so nice to see your flowers now - hope they are weathering the cold you've been having at night these days?

I especially like your roses and dianthus!
Of course Diane would have dianthus!

Hey Thanks Lynne!~~~~~ I really enjoy sitting out there on a sunday AM with coffee just taking up the morning Dew it's sooo relaxing out there,, I can't wait until my lavender comes back ~it's color and scent adds soo much to this area. I have seen rose moss peeking up from the rock I just let it sprout where ever it wants, by summer the white rock will be colorful too Lol.

Wow, Diane! That is fantastic!

You wanna come do my landscaping for me?

Dianna

Dianna this has been a work in progress for the past three years. WHen we moved in this yard was "tore up by two rotweillers the previous owner just let dig and tear up and I'm done this alone down to every last little pepple and seed and I started everything from "babies" so it's been a long wait for things to come up in the spring finally somewhat lush.. IT really makes me feel good that it's appreciated thru eyes other than my own. The next two springs will really be worth the wait for the fullness and lushness I have been striving for.

Looking really good Tonya!! I've tried those several times but I can't get them to grow for me!! ,, Thanks for posting this pic! I love those and am glad you ae having success with them!!

diane, i think they won't grow for you because of the hot/cold extremes you have.

Jiffy they are grown here I've seen plenty around they just wont' do for me!

that bites. although, i have one little bush, it won't grow like it should because i have it in full sun. but i like where it is, and i'm not moving it.

very pretty tonya!!! i love the bumble bee doing his thing! thats a great shot!

Not much blooming here while the temps. are only in the low 40's this week with a windchill right now of 39 - BRRRRR!

But I did see this lone daffodil trying to open today:


And some scilla siberica - they are only about 3-4 inches tall but so cute!

I love azaleas. I just wish they would bloom longer...

When we first moved here, we planted azaleas and dogwoods up and down the driveway (about 300'). Neither survived out in the full sun...

Lynne, I love that scilla siberica!

Ohhh YAY Lynne!! spring is finally peeking thru for you!!


I just had to get a picture of this one rose I posted these roses before But this one was saying "Show me Show me" SHe sure is pretty!

I LOVE all the beautiful flowers on here!!
But Triss..I LOVE..LOVE..LOVE.. your pots of Primrose!!
I think they are just beautiful!!!

lynne that scillia siberica is so pretty! i never seen one!
diane your rose pic is just georguos!
lol i got a white tea rose from wallmart its still in the bag on the windowsill with a bloom on it! i should post a pic!
these are from outside

I love the white Hyiacynth Christy!!!!

We've got gusty winds so I thought I'd better get a picture of these before this storm that's coming destroys these Okay I forgot what they are.

Do you know what they are???



Also with the winds blowing I could smell this jasmine as soon as I walked out of the door ,, Nicccccccce to the nose!

diane, your jasmine is gorgeous! mine isn't doing anything yet

Thanks Jiffy!

very pretty!
i dont know what the purple ones are but i see your hosta! mine arnt up yet! your so lucky!
your jasmine is awsome!

diane, do you ever cut your jasmine back? i'm thinking i might need to...

I will when it gets done blooming so hopefully I will get another bloom maybe in july! This one was here when I moved in and it was totally out of control it was on a larger~ taller trellis and was growing everywhere in everything wraping aroung poles the crepe myrtle ( several feet from it) shrubs I wacked it back to the ground last summer and put in a smaller flower shaped trellis and trained to climb and fill it in. I only want it this size as my water hose is there and I need to move around that area, before I cut it back to ground I had to walk around the front porch to get to the water hose Now I walk thru the front porch,, I like it better this size and I still have to cut it back to control it!!!

Here is my rose tree "carnival confettii" if you look below it you'll see red blooms coming off suckers?? weird how they are red and the tree roses are yellow and pink. I've cut those suckers off for three year ~~This year I left them to see what they would do,, I never expected Deep red roses to form???


Close up of carnival confettii

those red roses are pretty! must be good stock they used for the root!

Hmmmm I don't know Triss Might be worth if to find out If the answer is yes I'll get some out to ya!!

Diane, wonderful rose! Keep us posted!
Oh yeah it does grow from a cutting, yet mines died due to heavy frost here =[

Since you posted a rose, I thought I'd post my rose?
