I love the cracker jack mix.It was floppy on me last year so its out in starhex this year(no blooms yet,but have black spots on foilage)amoung my marigold patch.My hosta just started blooming.have to agree with sis.like the foilage better.Sybil...love your primerose poker.I've wanted some for awhile.I've not had luck with seeds or the 1 plant.

Aloha rose with larkspur
BES(missing the prarie one.loved its green centers)
butterflys visiting zinnia& coneflowers
white gladiolus with the canna foilage from russian red
AND I have nasturuims....for a little while anyway.The afternoon sun ones....done perished.doubt they'll seed.they never make it long enough.My mix has mostly been oranges but was one pretty one with orange and yellow in the middle.The pale yellows are nice

Malva braveheart...when it looked better.it has more blooms now,but has less leaves& the ones left have holes worse than swiss cheese& the dog has broke one stalk so its got blooms upside down.

Backside of hex bed.amoung the canna/B&B salvia...is Knightti brugmansia.

wow! njoynit there so pretty!

Everyone has really pretty gardens! Thought I'd pop in my neighbors pic I took, she's elderly but in great shape and we swap plants a lot!



And just a few of mine in this post....nothing dramatic yet, but there will be lots more color in the coming months. I have a TON of lush greenery now, most things are either budding or getting ready to bud.

Very pretty girls. Guess what? A few things are blooming here. Gonna get a few pics to show you later.

We've gotten frost clearance this week-end because of the early moon, so annual shopping here I come .

cute turtle stepping stones.

What great color Loz.

Yaaaahooooo My moonflower vine is finally blooming!! My grandson and I planted these seeds in early March ( He plants them everyyear his fav!!!) I can't wait for him to see!!!
There are a lot of buds forming but the first one is always the most exciting for me!! ~it smells sooo nice too!

Very nice, Diane - I didn't get a chance to start the seeds you sent me - wonder if it's too late to get blooms this year?

I didn't realize that they had a nice scent!
Does it only smell nice at night? How about on cloudy days?

Oooh pretty. I have no luck with them :( Morning glories i do ok with though.

heres my second lupine, first year its bloomed


my dianthus came out dark. I'll have to retake it

Diane gave me that in our 10,000 members gift swap!

The first gift swap. Those little bright spinners were from Shirley in this last (second) gift swap we did.

Lynne IF you start you moon flower shrub seeds I sent you you should have blooms by early September ~ August possibly! They don't have to be big to bloom and It smells good when it opens cloudy or sunshine!! This year the moonflower Vine's blooms are much larger than the last two year and Tre and I use the seeds it gives off form year to year!! They both bloom in the evening or early morning! and the bloom only last a day.

Wrennie I sooooo Love your lupine!!! Thanks for posting it!!!! The dragonfly chair is perfect where you put it!!
