Love the Stocks...very pretty! I wonder whatever happened to mine out there in that jungle. Forgot all about them LOL! Those Liatris are gorgeous :)

Is that a Dahlia? Gave up on my sickly seedling and yanked it up. Better luck next time I guess.

Love those MG. I may use your idea next year so I can fence in the bottoms as the @* critters keeping cutting off those planted along the neighbors' chain link fence. I have one in a container that started blooming today. Nice surprise as I did not remember planting it.

Jill...you must have been posting at the same time I was, I missed you, sorry! :) Glad you enjoyed my dl's. Tammy...I'm sorry, I failed to answer your question about my camera. It's a Fuji Finepix S700. The macro and super macro capabilities are wonderful as is the 10x optical zoom. It really lets you get up close and personal with your blooms. LOL Shelly....I totally understand, my list just keep growing and growing and growing..kind of like that Energizer bunny, you know? :) I've had MM for a couple of years now, and it's really struttin it's stuff this season. FT is brand new and that was the FFO on it. It's one of my brightest dl's. Chris....You're gonna love AS, it's one of my favs, but then I've got so many fav's!! LOL Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed looking. Jan

Thank you everyone for your sweet compliments. Plantmaven- The day it snowed was kind of strange, it was a fair amount above freezing with snow. The children loved it. Today on the other hand is perfect, 20c clear blue Sky and no bugs. My gardening heaven. Schoolhouse- Right now the cottage is being rented out to GI Joe and Polly Pocket but I will be sure to put your name on the waiting list. :c) Sweetannie- The neighbor who gave me the tiny irises told me that while she was on vacation she saw a house with a sea of these instead of grass. (I wish I had seen it) And the home owner gave her a clump of each colour when she stop to investigate. Such a treat! Do they multiply quickly for you? Ianna- I know you are right. But it was all the beautiful wild flowers that Mother Nature had plant here that inspired me to start gardening. And they are what keep me inspired (along with all of you of course). I love it when things pop up in unexpected places. For the most part, if they can find a home they are welcome to it. GGG- Yes they are pink and blue Forget-Me-Not (perennial) another one Mother Nature planted for me. I love them! Kay- Yes I am proud :0). I pour my heart and soul in to my family and my garden. And like anything in life, you get out, what you are willing to put in. CMK- I grew the English Daisies from seed. Actually they were the first thing I grew from seed. I just through them at the ground in early spring. And they have been coming back ever since. They bloom twelve months a year for me in my zone 5 garden. I am constantly brush the snow off of them to show people. They have done well and bloomed in every condition I have thrown at them, sun, shade, wet, dry it just doesn't seem to matter. If you are the type of gardener that likes everything in it's place you might not care for them though. They are a really good seeder. You would have to be pretty vigilant with deadheading if you did not want them to spread a bit. I would be more then happy to send you lots of seeds if you would like. A few more shots from today.

Chris: INCA PUZZLE has 10 fans and SUMMERTIME IDYLL has only 6. And I bought these as double fans in 2009. I have to say though I think SI would have done better if I put it in a spot where it had more room from the beginning. Hopefully moving it will improve the increase. Debra: RED SLEEVED WARRIOR is really shining this year. I got this from Curt in 2010 and now it is hitting its stride. I think the last couple of rainfalls we've gotten really helped. Avedon: INCA PUZZLE is a favorite of mine here. Always does well and increases nicely. Julia

I love the torenia blooms ... so pretty. I like the ice plants too. I haven't seen those before. I'm always a sucker for echinacea, probably because I have first year seedlings and am anxious for blooms.

Nice job!

What beautiful pics! I love the torenia & cosmos. I never was a fan of Bells of Ireland, but I think you changed my mind!

Beautiful pics!

A couple of questions. The orange zinnias, are those Profusion, and what is the plant in the next picture after them? Is your iceplant the annual kind? I have three different perennial ones, but I love the colors in that mix you have!

Thanks for sharing!

Bonnie which picture are you asking about. It will help me narrow down the correct answer. I had about 21-22 different types of zinnias I know one of them was in fact the orange profusion. But I also had so many others that had orange flowers as well.

And the ice plant was from ebay, I can not remember the full name but it is an annual. Hopefully it is a self seeder.

according to my records which have been known to be worng before I have them listed as just orange zinnias and the red ones after is the red spider zinnias. Sorry I can't be more exact with the zinnia name.

Love the pics. the torenia color is beautiful, and those dahlias. Hope mine look half as good. Still just buds on them, no blooms yet.

Thanks, Paula! From the side, the blooms on those spider zinnias, looked a bit like Silene, but since I haven't grown it, I wasn't sure what the foliage looked like.

Beautiful!!!

Paula, what kind of petunia is that? I've never seen one with lighter pink brush stroke markings, it's very pretty. BTW, were the dahlias WS this year? They look really big!

The tags on the pink petunia just said sun perriennial no real name or anything like that. It was bought at home depot. But I will be saving and trading seeds this fall.

No the dahlias were planted using the tubers it is just good soil there. It was a place of burning the old stuff a few years ago plus a little of composting not to mention the stuff we added this last year so it is just great soil there.

Bonnie

that silene looks so close to the red spider zinnia. Now I may have to go on the hunt for some silene seeds.
