Nice. Is the second picture Nemesia? Your Lotus look very happy. Mine just has a few stems with little tiny leaves.

Great looking plants. So healthy! I don't know most of what I'm looking at, tho! I do recognize the Spiderwort and the bleeding heart.............and the brugs! Lovely!

Your ninth photo of brug reminds me of a queston I have about all that growth on the stem. I do trim back to one main stalk on brugs coming up from the ground- some roots can put out 5-6 or even 10 shoots. Then I trim off all side shoots coming off this main shoot- am I doing something wrong? I have gradually come to like the standard look more than the bushy look. What do ya'll prefer?

Pretty Theresa!! I can't wait for my waterlily blooms!!! I see the daylily buds!! I LOL when I saw the tag there! Which one is that, the Stella?
I like the bleeding heart..I had a dream the other night that I bought a bunch & filled my truck up with them..I don't even have one! lol
Is the 3rd from the bottom a poppy? So purdy!
What's the 1st pic? Everything is so pretty!
Are you going to grow anything up the trellis?

Brenda, I like the standard look. The flowers & leaves are all up away from the ground so they're not all mud (or virus) splashed. You can see to check for bugs & spray them without crawling around under them on your hands & knees. & they are easier to smell & admire at nose level :-)

The bushy look is nice for a planter where it is still up off the ground.

Sorry for no titles on pics. I named them on Photobucket & thought they would show up. Didn't have time to do it again.

1)Is the little purple flower Spiderwort?
2)Nemesia- I wintersowed it
3)My first brug
4)Little Deck Pond
5)Orange tree budding up
6)7)8)Waterlily- picture doesn't do it justice.Any tricks for capturing white in pics?
9)Triple Peach cutting from our Brenda- it's my fastest growing brug. Loves the spot it's in.

11)Front garden filling in
12)WS Poppy
13)Buds on Daylily from Daniella(Stella D"Oro?)
14)Pink Bleeding Heart

Great flowers/plants Theresa! I love poppies and don't know why I don't grow them - I forget when to plant the seeds here. I am so jealous about your bleeding heart because I just can't grow it :-(

No, that's first one isn't spiderwort..at least not any that I have seen. I have a bunch of spiderwort..I can take a pic tommorow if you want.

The Stella De Oro usually is the first to bloom for me, was surprised this year that a new NOID bloomed first!

I'm glad you had better luck at wintersowing than I did..I failed miserably, lol. What I thought was butterfly bush seedlings were just weeds, lol. 100 of those seeds, and not one took. I only got 1 Rose of Sharon seedling out of all I did. I'm better at starting them inside I guess. I'll stick with what works for me.

Beautiful pics. I love how your brugs look. Daniella, you want more seeds from the butterfly bush? I have plenty. I can try to root a cutting for you if you like.

O no that's OK Kristy, Thank you anyway! They were mixed color buddleai davidii seeds I had bought in the fall. I still have the seeds you sent me, and have a bunch outside in pots right now..have been willing them to come up. They didn't come up for me inside, but I have 1 sprout outside so far.
ALso have the hibs and confed rose seeds you sent me set out, I am so impatient for them!! Thanks again for sharing them with me!
Daniella

Daniella, I didn't think so, but Brenda said she recognized Spiderwort! No Spiderwort here!LOL I googled it!
The white waterlily has a pink tinge all around the bottom petals & the yellow middle glows! Just doesn't pick up in pics.

I love that nemesia. I only have the blue varieties. Might the flower in the first pic be sweet woodruff? That looks a lot like mine before it's completely opened. I can't believe that you alreay have a lily bloom. It's beautiful. The only thing that's happening in my ponds are the cattails getting cattails. lol I'm not sure what you call the flower part.
Karyn

Karyn, I think you are right about the sweet woodruff. Thanks for the ID. I think the cattail flowers are called"Catkins":D
Cute name,huh? Do you grow your nemesia from seed every year?

Linda, those leaves in the pond are all waterlily leaves. I don't see any leaves from my lotus. How are everybody else's lotus doing. I might have to beg back a tuber next spring.LOL
Daniella, I plan on growing climbing roses and clematis on that hubbymade trellis. This year I will grow Morning glories until the others get established.
