I second lynne and triss. Really great pictures and I like the butterfly sitting on the flower. I think that is the best picture of liriope that I have seen. Thank you for sharing them I love pictures.

Jimmy what beauty you have there to enjoy! Wow I am so envious. I saw a picture of some beautiful baby blue hibiscus I book marked the page for next year ordering. Are the yellow hardy? I want some but am thinking those may be the tropical type. I have a beautiful coral one on the front porch, but its tropical. Is the orange one pictured there a tropical? I have been scanning my tropical for seeds but no luck yet.

Thanks Triss and Karrie for the kind words. Karrie the Carolina Breeze is Tropical , The Manhots are supposed to be hardy to zone 7 if I remember right. I will have some seeds later of the Manhot if you would care for some. These plants are 4 ft. tall and as you can see are so bloom heavy the plant is bending. You most likely wont get any seeds off your Tropical. They take longer growing seasons then you have in Indiana. Or We have in North Texas. Mine have never made seed pods and this one is about 3 years old. Jimmy

I would love seeds Jimmy! Thank you! I love orange and yellow flowers, they are by all means my favorite! I got quite a few seeds yesterday from he pink and white. This is my first time planting hibiscus, do you have any advice or suggestions for planting the seeds? I am clueless as to plant them spring or fall. I spent most of yesterday looking for information on them. I had never seen yellow until a few days ago saw some on google search, figured they were tropical also saw some beautiful blue ones, still trying to figure out if they are tropical or hardy. These were my husbands grandfathers favorite flowers. Also the last thing he got to plant before he passed away. I am so happy he got to see them bloom before he passed away. Mine are seeds from his plants. I hope to establish them well and maybe some day my kids will plant their seeds as well!

Mike we got our seeds from the same person Duckie. I have collected a few seeds Duckie wants some as she seems to have gave all hers away. I am waiting to see what all I have before I post my list also. Kerrie will be glad to send you some seed. also ging to have Orange (or gold) Cannas stand about 4 ft tall. Collecting rysomes now sending my sister about 50 as well as lynne wants some and Trish wants about 4 will send her 8. Will have around 100 in all that is just a guess. Mike go ahead and post yours as if mine are half as pretty as yours I am happy. Jimmy

The miniature yellow and red snapdragons are starting to bloom woohoo. It's a little early for them but I'm glad they are trying. I wonder if I should fertilize for more blooms or wait until it is actually fall? Do you have any thoughts on the subject.

usa all you have to do is go to the picture that you want to post and right click on it and go to properties. and box will pop up and it'll have a all kinds of things. it will say protocol,type,address (url),size,dimensions. you'll see an address beside the part that says address(url). you want to copy that address and then come back and click on the full reply form button and then a page will load and then there'll be a little button at the bottom of the little white box that you type in that says image. you'll want to click on that image button and then a little box will come up in the upper left corner of your screen. there'll be a white box that you can type in. it'll already say something like http:// you'll wanna delete that and paste the link that you copied and hit ok. then type what you want to type after that window has entered the little code and then post it and it'll be there! sorry if this was to confusing (I'm not very good at explaining things...I hate to be with the person to show them lol) if you don't understand something then ask and somebody might be able to help you better :-) and welcome to the forum!

Those are great Mary! Love your lantana too. My mom used to ahve that all around the pool in CA. Does it overwinter well or will you start from seed. I may have to add some of that to next years garden. The purple lantana is so pretty too.

MissJamie, webshots is funny like that.. they let you put your photos there & share them, but a direct link to a picture is a no no. They don't let it go thru, just like yahoo (another I used to use a lot before they did that.) Thank goodness for photobucket.

The purple lantana is so pretty too. Triss, it's supposed to be an annual here in zone 6. It's hard to find seed on it - at least I haven't been able to catch any 'berries' yet. I saw one forming, but that was the last time I saw anything resembling that berry. The plan is to mulch well and cross my fingers! I never saw a purple one - bet those are gorgeous!

Lynne, that's gorgeous! Mine (white) is so ho-hum. I'm disappointed, actually. May be it's because they're up against the white house that makes them kinda bla. I didn't know what to expect, but I guess I thought they'd have juat a little more pizzaz than they do. *pizzaz* Anyway, I love the purple - a few yards here have some pink-ish sedum... I just saw some with variegated leaves with pink flowers -- tell me these ain't the coolest sedum ya ever saw? sedum

Mary - that sedum is GORGEOUS! Will have to look for that one now. By the way, mine are pinker than they appear here - it's that cheapo camera at work again... Triss - I've never seen seeds on this plant, but will keep an eye out for them. I was looking it over just before and don't even see a flower that would develop into one of the peppers. By the time the stores put them out for sale, they are all in the pepper stage. Wonder what they look like?

Triss - I do realize that the seeds would be in the peppers. I was just commenting that I didn't see any flowers on the plant. I also figured that they would be small white ones like on other pepper plants - but thanks! When I was at the indoor farm yesterday, they had many different ornamental pepper plants, like the ones Bill posted, and not one had a single flower but all were full of bright, colorful peppers. That's also why I commented that they have a short growing period here since they are not put out til they are full of peppers.

And the picture right above the zinnias is that an orchid? Are you growing it outdoors. What zone are you in and do you think I could get away with that over here where I am? I'm just full of questions today aren't I lol.

Are your zinnia really as red as they appear on the right side of your first picture up there? They are as red as RED can be! And, yes...I'll send you some seeds! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The blooms on my brug only last 1 or 2 days.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!  That's NOT the answer I wanted! :rolleyes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And the picture right above the zinnias is that an orchid? That's my Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine But, I do have an orchid outside right now doing very well! Cindy

That's fantastic. Let me know if I have anything that interests you. Probably stamps since you are doing the move thing. But if I come up with anything else let me know.
That's the Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine? Wish I had somewhere I could put up a trellis. It looks like some of those orchids I've seen at Lowe's. Nice looking.

Gorgeous flowers Cindy. I did not plant my hyacinth bean this year but it will be going in next year. I really need to add all kinds of zinnias to my list as well. They are all so bright and cheery!

I grew mine from seeds that I got from someone online... but they never flowered over 3 years! Cindy - aren't those gladiolas that you were talking about above? I'm also surprised that they are blooming for you now, Meg.

Are those purple christmas roses? If so can I trade you some of their seeds for some of the more common white/pastel green. I have about 10 seeds I could trade. I'd really like to get an assortment of the different colors.

Those were blue glads, not iris'.. I don't have any iris, yet. And yes, I was shocked to see a new set of buds appear recently, as they had already bloomed & died back. It was a very nice surprise. Sorry, I didn't label my pics like I usually do.. I was in a posting frenzy. Ok, I had the blue glads, red salvias, purple clematis (I wonder if that's what you meant tk?), hosta with a new flower stalk, tho the rest is dying back, my mini red & yellow roses, my white & yellow mum, and my wildflowers are starting to bloom a 2nd time around.. I have alyssum showing up all over again, and the pretty pink flowers too.. I forget what they were called again! TK, I had no christmas roses.. so I wonder if it's the clematis you were talking about? Which picture was it? Meg

Meg - my irises stay in the ground here in zone 6, so you shouldn't have any problems leaving them in there.

Well, this thread is nearly done I'd say. Let me add my last few in.. Still have a few glads hanging on.. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/bgladlater.jpg) White clematis is blooming again, behind the glad.. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/gladwclem.jpg) Purple clematis is also blooming again- ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/pclem.jpg) And this hybrid sage was mowed down, due to it being covered by tall grass & weeds.. actually, all the things were chopped in this spot, my salvias, marigolds, zinnias.. all gone. But this one, popped right back up! ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/hsage1.jpg) More to follow..

My white mum is really starting to fill out- ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/wmum.jpg) My yellow mum is trying hard! (or is this Bubba's bed?!) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/bubbasbed.jpg) Not sure what color these are.. my mums got moved around earlier this year when they weren't looking so good. This one is finally getting buds on it. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/whatcolor.jpg) And my mini red roses are really in full bloom again! ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/meg1970/September%202005/rroselate.jpg)

Thankyou for splitting them up so I could see them all. I really really appreciate your doing that. They are fantastic pictures showing off fantastic flowers. I bought some of the ornametal sage for next year I hope it does as well as yours did.

Wow Mary, those are awesome photos, of awesome flowers!! The box jumped out at me, when I saw "Howitzer" on it. Steve drove a howitzer in the Army. That was cute the way you made a box of flowers out of it. Meg

Thanks, Meg. I have 2 of those boxes - from my SIL - think they were yard sale finds. I thought they made pretty cool planters ... wouldya believe, I never stopped to read it? Didya recognize those weeds in with the rose boquet? I was walking back to the house, thought 'Oh! those are those weeds Meg put up on the board'...and then thought 'Hmm They'd go good in this boquet!' You inspired me

Here I was waiting and waiting for the pictures to show and I waited and waited. Then after walking away for an hour and comming back and them still not showing up I looked down and the dial up had shut itself down again grrrrrh.
I guess maybe I'll comeback and try to look at them later.
