Creeping Phlox in the bird bath planter



Clematis Bloomed early this year usually not until mid April,,

OHHHHHHHHH - that clematis is so very pretty - so crisp looking!

And I love the color of the phlox - pretttttttttty!

the phlox is so nice and the clematis just makes me want one more

beautiful pics, thank you!

I love the birdbath and phlox

Is the clematis a duchess of Edinburg? I have that some time later .

Also pink and white
blue

Thanks Jiffy Lynne and Dodge I don't know the name of the clematis, It just said Clematis when I bought it 3 yrs ago,

I love your bird bath. Can't believe your clematis is already blooming.

first iris this year

I'll have to get out tomorrow and see what I have blooming if the storm doesn't know everything over

we're supposed to have a storm tomorrow too. We didn't get any rain today as predicted.

Know what Dianne. I've got creeping phlox growing in the ground. I've never thought about putting it in a planter. Good idea.

Sheri ~ I hope it( Phlox) will survive there all thru the summer IF I see it's trying to give up I'll put it in ground. I like it!! I may get more for another area!

I love your Daffi's It's rare I see white ones, I've been looking for the pink/peach ones<,

You dang southerners, get to showoff early huh?

One of these days youll be forced to view mine..

I did plant a daffy that has a pink center.. Waiting to see that for sure.

Ahhhhhhhhhh But Dodge When July and August is scorching our flowers with the heat and drought,, you'll northerners will be showing yours off!! SO then We get to be happy for you!! :wink: I've seen the Pink daffi's I think they are sooooooooooo pretty and dainty looking! I'm hoping to find some bulbs at sells this weekend!

I bought my bulbs last fall. Store here doesnt carry them now, maybe like you said on the markets or garage sales.

I am just joking.
I can wait.

The fruit tree bloom in my yard is rapidly declining. There aren't any flowers to bloom here for a month or two;the peas will be blooming by then.It's sad really that my yard has plenty of space for flowers but my parents won't let me plant any;they say it's so my dad can mow the lawn without mowing over flowers. Also I'm broke as a deadbeat;my parents borrowed money from me;my bank account went from $70 to $40 in less than a month. Deadbeats,they won't even pay back their own son for borrowing money from him. He's just too lazy to mow arond anything that's not lawn & weeds;actually,my lawn is mostly Bermuda grass or crabgrass,annual weeds,&perennial ones too. I'm going to disobey them & plant flowers anyway. I'll offer to mow the "lawn" so my dad won't mow over the flowers.

Do you need flower seeds to help you enjoy life?
Not good if parents borrow from you.. I never did that .

Now I am retired but willing to help the needy.
PM me

watch for places to get free seeds, be a seed snatcher.

I feel for you I got 2 dead beats my self, hubby's daughter and her husband refuse to get a job, have 3 kids to support and the oldest is working and giving them money for cig's

Dianne your bird bath is pretty too - just the structure itself.

love this yellow



and this purple

this pink azalea always blooms at Easter.

I think this is the coolest plant. It's money plant and first you get this beautiful flower then it changes to a paper disc with the seeds in it.

[color:#FF6600] Me too ..I have that tree and it isnt in bloom yet.

copy cat. Love the purple Iris . I planted blue hope they survived the North pole.

[/color]

I've never seen a blue one dodge. Maybe we can trade seeds.

I think purple , or yes you can have seeds.
Pm me your addy,, I also have many seeds to get rid of,, Free

are they purple or blue? Mine are sort of purple - that color in the pictures isn't exactly correct. Do you have any foxglove?

I have to go look I think I have foxglove , not sure.
I did find some of the money plant seeds for you .. i just burnt them last week.

I already made you a bunch to send .

Hardy hibiscus here in a can
spearmint
Lambs ear
white Hollyhock
lupin pink
jacobs ladder
blue flax
More upstairs

what else do you need/

nothing else. Is your money plant pink or purple?

i thought it was purple. I made you a envelope. Will check for he others.

There are 6 blooming crocus here in my front flower bed. "Please overlook the uncleaned part of my flower bed".--I am afraid it will get too cold some more ---so I have not cleaned out the leaves yet.

This bed is where my wild violets & the violas are planted. I am trying to get some spring flowers started here as well. Wish me luck !!!





This is a picture of my whole flower bed. the one where I planted my dafodils from the "farm". They are along the back of the bed, along the house next to the spring Flag. They may actually bloom this year---if they do it will be the first year for it--I guess my bulbs were too imature til now(?)

Love the purples :ding:

Daffys arent up very much yet.. Give them time. Mine is just poking up now .
It isn't a warm spring yet .. Bee cool . YOur doing great and I love the beds.
Lots neater than us farmers.

I would LOVE to have my farm back.---what fun I would have planting things if I were----so Dodge, enjoy!!!!

Great shots, Carol! I really like the first picture where you shot it from the ground perspective - pretty flowers!

And I love the bright and cheery flag too!

I never stopped enjoying the farm.. Lived on my daddys till I married and 8 months in town. Back to the farm we are on now. Ours.

I just couldn't see town life. No regrets.

Pretty Purple Carol,, your camera really picked up the color well!!


Another color of Peruvian lilies has bloomed



Cream colored clematis bursting with Happiness!




Orange African Bulbine blooming already! Must have loved the leaves over them in the colder weather! I will do that again next year!! these are really nice when they are in full bloom and lots of blooms, tiny tiny star shaped flowers clustered on a stock,, the leaves are succulent perfect for hot dry weather,


close up of the tiny flower

Your a real neato flower raiser. I love them all. Now is that a Plastic fencing with the pink lily on top? That is so sweet .
I am wondering if the clematis is like mine. Dang beetles usully eat away the leaves.

Is that the only clematis you have?
GOrgous.

Hi Dodge Thanks!,,,, Yep that a vinyl lattace or rather a piece of one, It's kinda cool it grow out of the opening and bloomed thatway ! :wink:

I also have Jack mandi and Bee's jubilee in the same area,, but for the life of me I can't think of the name of this cream one?? It always blooms first,, then blooms again in late spring/and / or early fall,. Last year I cut them all back,, this year I left them alone,, so now all the vines are mixed up and I could never begin to trace it back to the soil to figure out which brown vine belongs to which clematis at this point!,,

Hiya

Angelblossom,

I have the jack one , what color is Bee's Jubilee?
I also have Nelly Moser, and a Blue one . Mine arent nice like yours. Runts.
My sister in Ohio had the most gorgous ones on arches. I dont think she chopped them back. They seemed like they were almost a foot thick all the way around the arch.
She also had a orange trumpet vine, which grew right up the side of the house and wound around the tv antenna. They had to cut it back all the time.

You do well in your beds.

Bee's Jublilee is pinkish/ mauve in color at least mine is,, and I found the name of the other one ( white)it's Candida! Yeah there are three different classes of Clematis,, some you don't prune at all,, some you prune back in the spring and again after it blooms and the third you prune down 12 inches in spring and again after it blooms.. Jack mandi can be pruned this spring back to a healthy node on the vine, and then again after it blooms for repeat blooming,, Your sister must have class 1 type that blooms off old wood,,
