Sharon your gardens inspire me. They are so lovely and lush.... Would you give me some tips on the ornamental rhubarb seeds you shared. I have tried several times to get them to sprout and nothing......

Here's a clump of fleabane daisy showing off this year. I have a tomato cage in there which is supporting it very well.

Just a shot of the overcrowded border.

I love your overcrowded borders, Marie! (think i got the right name!) And yes, Sharon's gardens are an inspiration to us all!

This week, the pictures i have were category ones. But i do have some sunflowers to show. This one is called 'Autumn Harvest':

These other two are bird-planted ones.

Yes, I agree Marcia, Sharon's gardens are amazing!
And yes the name is Marie, LOL.

Very nice gals! Love your border Marie!

I'm going to have to tomato cage my Fleabane next year!

echoes, did you try wintersowing?

Thanks for the compliments ;)

Sharon

Yes, very inspirational pictures ladies!

Marie, I must have the same phlox that you have.

Laurie

I did Sharon but I didn't have good luck with that this year either... I still have some seeds left so I will try it again... Thanks

Lovely photos.
Some beauties from my yard.
Gerber Daisy, I rescued it from my daughters dark apartment.

My front bed 45 feet long

The lupines that I wintersowed are blooming

And so is the Dwarf Navigator Penstemon

My two favorites of the week. My Lisianthus. I'm going to try to keep these as a houseplant for the winter.

And the other- Rain Lilies. I now know why they are called this.

Shelley

I love your front bed and your rain lily, Shelley!

Here are a few more pictures from this week. Clematis 'Ville de Lyons' is putting on a show this year, blooming earlier and more profusely than ever before:

This glad is called 'Madame de Paris':

wonderful beauties everyone, can't wait to see picture of your Kochia turning red Sharon. Beautiful perennial borders Marie and Shelley.I hope by next year my perennal phlox looks as lovely as Laurie's and Marie's. Is it time for sunflowers already!
A few bloomers of mine
this daylily came from a bag of cheapy mixed ones from the local co-op a few years ago..it looks like a Bonanza but hard to tell

Everyone's gardens look soo nice right now! Especially all the beautiful borders. I really need to get my butt in gear.

I love this cheapie from Home Depot, I was surprised that it grew and was the right colour... Canna 'Cleopatra'. Must get more cannas next year.

Too lazy to post one pic on the daylilies thread... here's Siloam Ethel Smith clumping up nicely. I like these little Siloams.

I like your Canna, Gil. It's very sunny 8)
