FFO and others this Saturday morning

12 years ago

MARGO REED INDEED FFO - impressive since it's suffering from thrips

FAIRY TALE PINK - one of my favorites for always looking perfect

PORCELAIN RUFFLES looking especially lovely this morning. Once the sun hits it though it recurves a lot in my garden

BIG SUR only has one bud left. Dragon King behind it just starting.

ARCADIA PLANTATION - sorry for the awkward angle. One of my favorites for performance and form.

INDIAN GIVER improving, sorry out of focus

TUSCAWILLA SNOWDRIFT doing well for its' 1st year but seems to always have crowded blooms

SEMINOLE WIND just because it's pretty, it's a really good performer too

BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS - how can you not love this one

PALLADIAN PINK - a true pink, caught it early before it opened all the way

I'm so enjoying looking at everyone's pix today. Ming Porcelain came here as a mistake, but it turned out to be better than what I ordered. Ours is usually beautiful, but it has taken a beating in the heat wave and drought. Yours looks fine. Other favs for me are Margo Reed Indeed, and Royal Frosting Avedon

Thank you Debra, Nancy, Nancy, Maryl and Sherry. Regarding the deer, we have two dogs, but they are only outside when I am and they go out on tie outs. There are way too many critters around they might chase after, plus there are coyotes around and I sure wouldn't want anything to happen to my pups. So, the deer are accustomed to the dogs being out and near the house, but it doesn't keep the deer away when the dogs aren't out there. There used to be a lot more deer, but since the coyotes have been in the area for the past couple of years, there don't seem to be as many deer. Maryl, Ashwood Still Night grows well here... it's supposed to be a rebloomer, but I don't think it has rebloomed for me. It is a nice dark purple. I think I've had it since 2012, it is a pretty big clump now and needs to be divided. The flowers are one of the purples that can take on a grayish/frosted look on cold mornings. The flowers seem to hold up well in the heat and hold their color pretty well here, but I don't think we get as much heat or for as long as you do. Here is a pic from yesterday of one of the scapes on the outside of the clump.

Like Kate, I love garden shots. Give Sarah Hawes extra time...it is slower than most to increase and then explodes, at least, it did here. Blue Eyed Butterfly is a beautiful with the companion plants. I cannot have that lovely blue color here except very early in the season...it is too hot, and they die, water or not. Happy to see Rosie since I really enjoyed it and it did so well here this season, it's first in my garden. I really like your photos of Kentucky Lucky too. So very lovely with all your plantings. Well done indeed. kay

Impressive group of blooms, my favorite also is Beautiful Edgings. I've been admiring it for awhile and finally put a bid in on one.

I love all those soft colors! Sometimes the ones with the vivid colors go on my wish list first because they really catch my eye, but I have to say that these with the pastel colorations are so soothing to the eye. They are picture-perfect! I also think your pic of Indian Giver is one of the
best I've seen. I didn't realize it was such a deep purple,
which I really like. Reminds me of Concord grapes. Love your photos....thanks!

That's a really nice group of daylilies. I like your picture of Indian Giver too. It was one of my first daylilies. Unfortunately it bleached out to nothing in my hot afternoon sun so it's a goner from my garden...I like the ruffly ones the best, but I have to say that Beautiful Edgings catches my eye the most. Great picture....Maryl
