That's so cool! Thanks for the info weezie.. I didn't know what they were! I just thought the boquets were very pretty & with the mix of sunflowers & all those bright colors.. I couldn't resist! (And the fuzzy wavy ones, they totally caught my eye!)

This little corner has come along quite nicely - the morning glories, the kalanchoe and the recently introduced whaddyacallit -

I agree with Meg, That is so cute... I love all the colors including the black fence... Can you do the entire fence next year??? That would look so neat.. * FYI If you ever try to help a Morning Glory climb up a item, make sure you pay attention to which direction you are twining it, MG's like to twine in a certain direction....from the right side to to left, back behind to the right, then to the left. *In my observations..*

The rest of that fence is shade - I don't think the glories will open there.

One of the glads is sending up a new stock. I'm very confused I didn't know they would do this twice in one season. It's much shorter than the ones earlier this season but the flowers are starting to bloom on it. It's a very nice suprise.

Tammy, The bulb that you planted, may have had a tiny one (baby) off to the side of it when you planted it...and then grew in size this summer.. thus flowering..

Really? That's cool. We were pregnant and I didn't even know it. That's fantastic. Is there anything I should do for the baby?

Do you pull ups up for the winter, or just leave them in the ground?? If you leave them in the ground, then, pretty much nothing.. Unless, after time, you notice either one of them waining when flowering or growingtall in the coming years, then they may need dividing??? We pull ours up here........ Although, last year, my mom's got rust... **Cause it was soooooooooo wet* and she got tired of pulling them and got p!ssed off at pulling and left a few... They came up this summer.. She and I were both amazed as we are growing zone5.......but we are protected by alot of trees, and we have alot of sidewalks, house's, so, it may be a micro climate... dunno.. She'll leave them again, and do an experiment..

I think in zone 7a I'm allowed to leave them down. The Cannas will have to be lifted because they are in a cement container but the glads can be left in place. So they are fine where they are. That's great. I plant to do some rearranging for next years garden but I haven't quite gotten around to even preparing the flower beds yet so I won't bother you with questions about that part until I have somewhere to move them to lol. Thanks for the info Weezie.

Finaly got a bloom one to be exact on my Katie ground cover. It is purple and I think pretty. Bear in mind I had to lay on my stomach to get these shots and pulled myself up using the fence and a cane. don't laugh was not a pretty sight. flowers/KatieinBloom.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> flowers/Katiebloomagain.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> flowers/Katieagain.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> flowers/KatieBloom.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> Was worth it I guess.

I think your pictures are worth the effort Jimmy and thank you so much for taking them they are really nice. Is that a drought tolerant ground cover? I'm looking for somethings for next year. and does it like shade or sun? I'm always so nosey. Have a great day.

No I didn't . wound up going outside went to sons house so my daughter in law could give me my weekly shot and they werent home. Did not take long to get home and back inside. Not made for inside too depressing. Still 93 here at 9:00 CST. Feels like a sauna outside. Weather said might get a tunderstorm if we do it will be all thuinder and no rain or cool air. Have a good night rest well. Jimmy
