A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Bloomin' Fine ***7****

Well one of my daylilies bloomed in the front yard, its a peach! Literally. This one is really a neat color to me. (Not sure which ones I transplanted up there so this is a nice surprise.)


My huge monarda bed is in full bloom, (its my freebee transplant I received from my mom.)


The daisy transplant she gave me, is blooming, but the blooms look crappy. Any ideas why?

Your Peach daylillie is a beauty!!!!!

ooooooooo! love the peach daylillie

Nice flowers. A bug may have chewed on the daisy bud before it opened fully giving it that ragged look.

My first coneflower has bloomed!


I like the dill's bloom


My sedum isnt in a cat planter...

purple bee balm is starting to really bloom now.


red in all its glory

very pretty wrennie

Wow Wrennie your BeeBalm is looks Great!!! I love the big group of them like that in different colors!!!

and your dill is awesome it puts me in minds of "sparklers" the kids used to have on July forth fireworks!!! Thanks for showing us that ~ I've not seen one in bloom!!!!! I like it alot!!

Pretty pics Wrennie, I'll be posting pics tomorrow. My rose bushes are all starting to bloom.

I really like your dill picture, Wrennie!
At first I was thinking "fireworks", but Diane is right - sparklers!!!

And I had to stop and think about what you meant about your sedum "not in a cat planter"!!!
Can we say I'm "sleep deprived"?!?

I love the red.My purple was lighter than that.

Here is Robe JMG.




I might grow it on seedling pink next year.Its foliage is variegated also...a plus.It would maybe look better with less rain.....but we like the rain...less watering for me!

Very Pretty njoynit!! I have a variageted leafed one too I'm not sure what it is called tho the bugs have had a feast on it Arrrrrrrrrgh! it blooms a dark fushia color with white in it and the leaves are longer, more narrow I'll try to get a picture!

Here is My Heavenly Blue MG they are just now blooming for the year, last year they bloomed much sooner than this...



and a better Pic of the Envy Zinnia this one is in the front yard IT seems to have made a difference




Wrennie That Dahlia is Gorgeous!!!

those are so pretty wrennie and diane!

The blue of that morning glory is so striking! Really nice flowers everyone!

Photo of the front yard bed to the east of the front door, its a year older than the bed in front of the house. I have to move the Russian Sage, its getting squeezed and not growing to its potential. I ran out of extra topsoil today to amend the hole before moving. I will do that some other day. I am hoping that will help it take off next year and give it room to grow ginormous.

Is that Bishop's weed in the corner? I have it too and once it grows it chokes out everything. Very invasive and I can't rid of it now.

Here's a few pics from my gardens. My Blanket flowers:


Yellow sedum.

My first bloom on Stella..

Yes, it came with the house. I keep it only in the corner, theres a bit of a ridge forming a mini bed and if it creeps out of that area, I just pull it. Only about a five minute job each year. I use a couple of squirts of roundup where I pull it to keep it back.
I was forewarned of its invasiveness so I practice tough love.
;)

Oh I LOVE the yellow sedum, what a showy plant!

The yellow sedum is invasive too but I want it to be. It is sprouting up everywhere.

My rugosa:

My climbing rose:

And my fresh bowl of strawberries, well they came from blooms.

Sorry the pics aren't the best but they are taken with a web cam with no flash.

Strawberries look yummy!

your flowers look so pretty!! i love the heavenly blue mg! i didn't like mg, but my 5 yr old daughter brought me home some for mommy's day and now i just love them!! she brought me some purple one's. crazy me i have a whole bunch of them in my garden!! LOL i'll have to post a pic if i can figure it out, i'll have to ask dodge for directions, LOL :'}}

medo, do you have a photobucket account?
if you do just copy the line that starts with [img] and paste it here. Just be sure its 640X480 or smaller in size.

Tamara !! Yay your pictures turned out fine!!!! and Your strawberries look yummy!!!!!!!! I like sedum as it blooms and the yellow bloom really stands out!

tamara your rugos are sooooooo pretty!!!
strawberrys never last long here, theyd be gone before i could even get em in a bowl your pics turned out great! my cams broke so im using a kids cam
red sunflower

my first white cleome [came from tammys garden]

malva and drumstick alliums [malva came from triss garden ]

im workin on the weedin

Oh, I love sunflowers. Mine are only a foot high, poor things have been rained out.

My Rugosa bush is so heavy with blooms, I had to stake it. I am amazed. It was just one of those $3 bushes in a bag from Wal-Mart planted last year.

I love the yellow sedum very pretty..think it'd choke weeds?

To me the heavenly blue seemed small this year and yes later blooming,but they look better now and is a few seeds I've sown that collected& those vines look healthier.

I collect my weeds in 5 gallon bucket or landry basket...and in the fall.....when doing cleanup...I use the trash can that I use for carrying compost,leaves what-have-you in the garden(also has holes in bottom,so handy when cleaning out pond too.submerge bucket...dump...got pond debree for compost!

I like the red sunflower.I've got moulin rouge sown,but not seen it yet.


I KINDA caught that yellow butterfly.I think he's a type of sulpher.If I could just fine a dead one!









My favorite crepe Mrytle.a nice bright fushia pink.I will be collecting seeds off this one.
a pair of hygrandgea flowers one just opening and the other mostly dried on plant.
