Good Morning;

Now I are very confused.......I have that plant and thery told me it was a Datura not a moon flower................Help help help .

This is my first full summer down here for gardening. I have Lantana (boy, do I have Lantana), Blue Daze, Penta, Golden Dew Drops, Butterfly bushes, Snapdragons, Blue Bell variety of Disanthus, Ixmora (sp?), Four o'clocks, Nightshade (which is not a good thing but I don't want to touch the berries, they're poisonous, mums, Cat Whiskers, Impatiens and Mandevilla. I think that's all of them.

Gaillardia

How lovely of a start.....

What colors are your Imps.....I have orange and pink doubles.. Will get a photo later ......

Have photos of yours yet?
We are lookers on here too.. ha ha

Good luck .

Lots blooming but still raining, pics tomorrow.

I've been told the white flower is moon flower,it's probably in the datura family....it blooms at night hence the name moon flower.It also gets the picky seed balls like a datura....

I would love to see some photos .....Tamara, Dodge and gaillardia

gaillardia That is a great start, I want to see some pictures too....

kratz

Here is mine .i was told it was datura......It blooms in the day time.

Datura white


Zinnia cactus

today

Green amanthus.i think????????


White cone flower also.

I'm not sure about the moon flowers but I do know they were labeled as moon flowers from the seed swaps. Maybe there is differnt types....lol.......

The amanthus is beautiful.....how do you save seeds for that? I would like to swap for thise seeds sometime if you would like.
And the cactus Zinnias are pretty too

Theres a moonflower that a vine like a morning glory and datura is often called moonflower too.
I know the amaranthus is teeeeeny seeds. I'm not sure how they are to save though.

I had moon flowers one year they were like morn glorys.. i had to tie they up.
These are heavy duty stems not crawlers .. SOft foilage.....THey bloom all day.
Yes ..........i would probably lean to a missprint.

amanthus......seeds.. i have to check if I have any left........However you just seen where the seeds come from.. There will be a million on that piece.
All you have to do is hold a container below that and shake it .. When it is ripe.

Just like the red and Love lies bleeding.........
I like it .. OH I also have gold like that ..Have to show you later after it gets going more.

I will let you know.
barb

They are easily saved Wrennie......

When ripe just shake them into a bag or something and you get oodles to share.

I have green gold and pink I think ha ha ..
b

Any know what the names of these fellows are?/ Only a few inches high???????

Still raining, no pics today.

Just send that rain here.Gees how we wish......My lawn is still 50/50.......

First time I can remember..
b

We need the rain here too....I'll take as much as you want to send.
I have a couple branches of love lies bleeding (they broke off of the main plant), I'm going to try and save the seeds for next year. I was out in the yard earlier and took a few photos.

It's been raining all around us. The little town 20 miles from me got 5 inches of rain off and on last week. We got a few drops 2 weeks ago and that's been all.

I've got candytufts, zinnias, dianthus, guara, bee balm, garden phlox, morning glories, sunflowers, begonias, and geraniums flowering at the moment. Oh and a calibrochia, too. I love your photos, Kratz!
waterlily & Ring of Fire Sunflower:

Morning Glory:

I have peach mini roses, yellow mini roses, pink and yellow echinacea, mints blooming both in white and lilac, coreopsis Sunrise, Quinalt strawberries, salmon variegated leaf geranium, orange geranium, white Iceberg roses, Meyer lemon tree, and a clear yellow daylily.
Not bad for a container gardener !

Wow! Deborah.... ;)

That's wonderful for container gardening........I would love to see some photos.........
What kind of containers and Soil are you using? I have containes of hanging baskets, large flower containers with plumeria, monkeypod tree,lemon tree or orange tree(it has never given fruit though), castor bean plant, jasmine, wonder egg, and a few other things.....

Landofoz....your flower photos are beautiful!
