Carol, your liriope is gorgeous!!! I also have 2 small variegated ones - one on each side of the waterfall but they are not in bloom yet. Sheri - your petunias look so healthy - I never manage to have good ones after a couple of weeks - they get so leggy and awful looking here - good job! Your sedum flowers are nice too - mine are not blooming yet.

Thanks for the link and thanks for the compliment, Diane. I too love the Varigated Liriope A few years ago when Rod & I were on vacation in Kentucky, we saw many varigated Liriope at the distillery we visited. The moment I got home & began looking around until I found some of the varigated ones---they are wonderful--for sure!!!

We call liriope monkey grass. I don't know why. It is pretty when it blooms. We use it as edgings.

the cool and wet start to summer didn't help much. my cannas aren't nearly as tall as they were last year :*( the ones in front i started from seed. the ones at the back (the blooming one included) were from rhizomes

I have also seen in called lily Turf---and sometimes the name is all run together--(lilyturf)---any way you call it, it sure is nice. and if I didnt say, I love hoe your petunias are looking--VERY nice indeed. Kenny if that is water deprived I cant tell i t--your cannas are beautiful!!!

I started the seeds the week of Easter. I've read they only take three months in the ground to bloom down south, but though I wouldn't see any with the cool start to summer we had.

Kenny, your chinese lanterns are pretty. I had a few volunteer in the garden one year but they didn't turn orange. Are yours invasive?

the lanterns are REALLY invasive here. there are different types of physalis; they all (to my knowledge) have puffy seedpods, but only the 'alkekengi' species have pods that turn bright orange.

If I remember correctly mine stayed green then turned brown as they died. They are pretty plants. Did you plant them or did they show up?

I've seen similar looking 'lanterns' at the supermarket that were yellowish/brown in little plastic strawberry containers for sale. Not that palatable to me, but to each their own. Being in the nightshade family, I wouldn't try them without knowing the exact species. I planted them knowing they would be invasive. My aunt does a lot of flower arranging and uses a lot of the dried lanterns (which also helps ensure I don't get tons of seedlings). Even without the seedlings, the roots do a good enough job spreading lol
