Made time to take some more pics

15 years ago

Boy have I been busy working in the gardens. Lots of crosses being made and pollen being harvested. Weeding and watering, etc. etc. I finally grabbed the camera and took it around with me today. Unfortunately I removed pollen from a couple before I took the pics, but the flowers still looked pretty despite my butchery. LOL Hope you enjoy.

Linda - Zowie, wowie! What a bunch of lookers you have! My favorites in this group are two I already have, but yours look prettier: Asian Fairy Bluebird and Blue Eyes Glance. My AFB still hasn't put up scapes this year. It's probably sulking because of last year's drought and the fact I tried repeatedly (without success) to set pods on it. I envy you on Spiny Sea Urchin too. What a gorgeous bloom on yours. Mine has never bloomed without having botchiness or deformed sepals. I gave up on mine. It's on the Lily Auction right now. Open My Eyes is another that caught my eye on this thread. Thanks or posting your photos!

Genez, great pictures - thanks! Looks like you had a fun trip. It's amazing what a spectacular job the Belagio does in their atrium. Almost as good as the water show ;-) Alana

The stone wall is a 'work in progress' as I would like it to be a bit higher. We had a barn that was taken down so used alot of stone from that to build the wall ( hubby, myself along with my son and our John Deere tractor, did all the work). I have another stacked stone wall which is stone taken from a pile we had when they dug the foundation for the house. Everytime we find some nice pieces, we add to the walls. We have the area where all the beds are with temporary fencing. I use milorganite to keep the deer away. The only ones who seem to have broken through the temporary fencing are the fawns but they haven't touched any of the plants. We have alot of fields so the deer mainly stay out there. We rely on the weather to water the gardens. We are on well water here so don't want to drain our resource. I also use a rain barrel for any new plantings to keep them watered during their first year. After that, they are on their own. Heavy downpours here already this morning. Suppose to rain most of today and through the weekend. DARN. I wish I could send some to others. Julia

Kay,Blackie stays close to me when I am outside,and I really have to watch where my feet are going,as she will walk a few steps in front of me,and suddenly just lay down right in front of my feet,wanting my attention.She the cat that came here about 7 -8 years ago,so skinny and starving, and I went in the house to see what I could find her to eat, and I gave her some sliced ham.I didnt have cat food.She decided to stay and make this her home, so after she had some kittens,I had her fixed.I have one of her babies in the house,its the one that got hit by a car and lost a hind leg.I tell you what tho, that cat can move with 3 legs. Thank you Rita.Its not too hard to get a good picture of the Hummingbirds.Just have to stand still for a few minutes.They are pretty use to me out there watching them. Debbie, Mine are gone too., now.I will have to go out and bring the feeders in and get them washed up and put away for next sping.Like you, I miss them ,too, already. Julia,Thats a bummer, to have snow already.I can handle the snow, but,I hate the ice storms we usually get every winter. Val, Thank you for that nice comment. Thanks, Cindy. The hummingbirds here are now gone, too.It will seem like forever, waiting for spring again and the birds come back.I some times sit on the front porch a hour just watching the Hummingbirds fight over the feeders, when there is enough for all of them.

John: I just got an email post from John M., and he informs me that the Plectranthus forum is still up and running. Even though it is not too active, the archive and photo section are still there (Hopefully, the images were transferred) He is in a bad position to do much with Plectranthus right now because he had a foot injury a year ago, and had to drop the Plec project because of other commitments and reduced capacity. I think he wants to get back to it, but because of the freeze last year, his collection got pounded. That's probably the straw that broke the project's back.

Oh my!! Wow!! I am so happy to see your garden pics of Bluegrass Music. I just bit the bullet and bought that for fall shipment. Now if Doyle Pierce would come down a bit... :o) Sarah Hawes sure is a beauty! Thank you for posting all these beauties.

Well, I have to agree with everyone else. These pictures are fabulous and you have a fantastic collection of daylilies.

I just love, love WOMAN AT THE WELL and that is a great shot of it. Mine has been blooming but I have not been able to get a good picture, always some bug chewed on it before I got to it.

SHIMMERING RED SATIN is another I planted this spring but mine is not blooming so really great to see your picture.

I just flipped for ORCHID ELEGANCE!!! Would you say that the picture color is how it really looks in the garden? Those color tones just blew me away.

Thanks for taking the time to post all of these beauties! It was hard to decide, but my favorite is Spiny Sea Urchin.

What a special treat to have all of these gorgeous photos in one post. As I scrolled down I just kept oohing and aahing. The edge on Mike Thompson is amazing. I'll bet you have been crossing him trying to pass on that edge. Blue Eyes Glance, Asian Fairy Bluebird and Bluegrass Music all got special wows from me. Hmmm, they all have blue in the name. Maybe I am seeing a pattern here. Please, please, please post more pictures.

Hi all, and glad that you enjoyed the pics. I actually have quite a few more to post, but didn't have time to put them in this post. I will try to post some more tomorrow.

Rita, ORCHID ELEGANCE is one of my favorites and a great performer. The color is a soft clear pinkish lavender, and my pic is pretty true to the actual color. The only other DL I have that is similar, but a bit bluer in color is LINDA SIERRA. I really love that one also. Glad you enjoyed the pics.

Great pics. Too many to choose from. I'll have to go with Asian Fairy Bluebird as my favorite, although there are many great looking ones here.

katladie, The black leaves you see are from Sambucus Black Lace. It's an Elderberry that I think is fabulous.
