Well, I'm happy to report my hardy hibiscus is FINALLY blooming! The flowers are bigger than my hand! Pretty white blooms with a hint of pink at the edge and a bit of red in the center.
Thanks Lynne, I thought it looked especially nice from the top like that.
I have more pics but I will try to be patient and wait until the next page. Patience isn't exactly a virture of mine so you may all see them before the next page.
loz, i love your cleome....there is a house that burned last year, they are starting to rebuild, just the foundation and a cedar fence is all that is built. but just beyond the fence is a HUGE bed of those just swaying in the breeze!
Pretty pics! I love nasturtiums. The leaves are yummy in a salad. Blooms too just pinch out the pistil and stamen first. Kinda freaks people out to watch me eat a flower! :LOL:
Pssst Loz, we're on the next page you can post more!
Loz.I love that sunflower and purple grass.did you grow the grass grom seed?I want flower of the sun seeds too.Fall fling?
P&P.I've fineally had sucess with my nasturuims,none are variegated.i've had those same colors but my canary vine is a pale yellow.I really hope they set seed for next year.I seem to do better with containers than in ground.all my inground ones are dead now*well....one is struggleing,but is shaded.
My cat found some catnip growing outside the cage.He showed me he found it.
Gorgeous! Love the sunflower, they are such happy plants! Mine are pretty much bloomed. I was shocked at how large my rudbeckia has gotten in two years, it looks like a bush!
So.....ummmmm... Wrennie... Why was it that you thought I only grew PINK flowers? ;)
I dunno'!
I have gazanzias at work that are healthy. Someone ate the 2 I had here. Not sure if it was Bambi or Thumper. I have to walk around the yard and see whats bloming now.
And the white rose of sharon - right after I took this picture I got stung on the back of my arm - there are hundreds of bees on these plants this year - they are just loving them, but didn't like being interrupted by my picture taking! YOUCH!!!
Crocosmia I believe...Alankhart sent me these last year! flowers/100_0400.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/>
Coneflower - have to look at the tag to see what one flowers/100_0402.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/>
That's what crocosmia looks like! Cool! I got some from Oregon in the early spring. I assume they;ll bloom next spring. Pretty! Hey I have a tub like your white waves are in. I may have to drag it out next year.
I love all your pink flowers Lynne. Is there one spot you can tep back and get a wide shot of lots blooming at once. I like the close ups, but also the 'big picture'.
The waves in the tub actually are a really light lavender with a little darker throat. The color didn't show up that great in the pic though. I planted waves in that tub last year and I just love it! They fill in their really nice. I will continue that every year!
I thought the crocosmia were spring bloomers too but those just started blooming a couple weeks ago for me and have been going strong since. Alan sent me the bulbs sometime last summer. I planted them last fall and I was so happy when they came up! Good luck with yours Wrennie! Can't wait to see them next year!

Ya know, Wrennie... most of my flowering "plants" aren't all that impressive as a whole... but I can usually find one or two really nice blooms on them to share - that's why I don't post pics of the "big picture"...
Now here's a horse of a different [b][color:#FF6666] color!
