Diane: that is a beautiful clematis !!!!

thanks Carol and Lynne

My clematis bloom only once a year. Very pretty.

Is that the dutchess of edinburg clematis Diane?
very nice

I think its the Candidias something or other,, Thanks Dodge

Pineapple sage plant from seeds last year from Lynne. I'm finding it growing many different places in the yard from the wind blowing the seeds around and probably birds too.
This one is more a pink color as opposed to the red that it was last year,, a couple of others were pink this year too.

Thats real nice pineapple sage.

Is it a mint type?

No ~~ when I rub the leaves it smells like pineapple But I have to say it grows everywhere like Mint would,

Diane, again beautiful!!!

Dwight must be one happy guy, diane--I bet there is very little grass to cut in your yard---what with all of the flowers & Willy Village & such!!!!

If I had My way Carol He wouldn't have to mow at all,, I'd have little paths of stepping stones in the back yard with the rest of it filled with flowers and Brugmansias!

Such pretty flowers, Diane! My texas star hibiscus plants never grow beyond seedling stage here. So I will enjoy yours through your pictures - thanks!

Sounds like a good plan to me!!!!!

Ha ha ha
I wont let HD mow the lawn here.

One time my brother was doing me a favor, mow the lawn..
I had 12 chestnut trees I started from seeds.......He killed them all.
Last time I let a man mow.
then they mow all the grass onto the walks and flower beds.eek

I am the one who has to clean it .
Oh well I do enjoy mowing .He fixes the machine. zero turn mower.

Love all your flowers, such pretty colors, and different ones then I grow or have seen.

Dodge--I am so glad that you have a good mower, that makes all the difference in the world.

now moving on.....

Below is a picrture of a sedum I have had since we moved onto the "farm" back in 1980. It had belonged to my DH's Great Aunt. When we moved to this house in 12/04, I brought a part of the plant with me, since it was Rod's Aunt's & all. :wink:

In the 29 years I have had this sedum it has never bloomed. You are all seeing the very first bloom, in all that time. I am SO excited!!!
Yes, I had transplanted parts of it all around the 'farm' when we lived there and still it did not bloom there. It is living in transplanted farm dirt here-(I had Rod bring my good dirt with us--) but blelow it is clay I am thinking.

PS the white "dots" on the green leaves is "Seven". So not to worry.
