16 years ago

I am taking a break from work and staring at pictures I posted recently on Picasa...Most still have no titles, so I did not include any plant names...do not remember them all!

I decided to share some of the pictures with you all :)

Thanks for visiting my garden :)

Olya,Beautiful Orchids.
I really like your aquatic plants. I need to finish getting rid of some mistakes that I have made in the past with my pond. I planted cat tails that are very invasive and I planted
butterfly gingers that have become so massive that have cover over allot of the pond. I'll share pictures once is finish.
You inspire me Olya. Your water lilies, can they survive in my zone 9?

These colors are so insanely common that an ID is impossible. However, the deep purple is known as a harlequin phal. harlequins come in all sorts of splotching. I'm a fan!

Your gardens are beautiful. I only hope as mine matures and I learn more about gardening I can accomplish what you have. I want to become a Master Gardener and was going to start classes but told a friend I would wait for her to retire next year so we can do it together. What else is planted with the hostas? I have an area under my trees that I want to have a shade garden and so far just have some ferns and a gardenia. What is the last flower, the purple spikey one? Love it. Did you have to train or tie the clematis to climb up the gardeners pole or does it do it by itself. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for visiting and all of your compliments. I understand that it is impossible to surf around all of the photos, - there are just too much. But I feel honored that you took a closer look at some of them... The camera I use, is a Nikon D200 for the newer ones, - before I used a Nikon Coolpix 5400. The D200 is really great, - a little difficult to handle in the beginning, but after a while quite easy. I wouldn't want another camera any more (except the new Nikon D300!!). Mike

Really nice, I love that last pic with the girl surrounded by lots of DLs. First one is pretty and looks nice there with the lilies. I saw 'ho butter' on the tag there and got curious what could the whole name be, and it's Morpho Butterfly! :)

Olya, spasibo!
Don't even think I'll let you go without these orchid's names.
Is the second one cochleanthes?

thank you!

Maria, good eye! It is indeed a cochleanthes, Lip Blush - primary cross (amazonica 'White Face' HCC/AOS x candida 'Cole' CBM/AOS)..Love it as it is my very first orchid...My husband gave it to me on Valentine's day in , boy, 2002...I think 2002. We were dating back then :)
The first one. I think it is Blc. Volcano Blue.

Lynne, fourth picture. I bought it in Home Depot as a rhizome of Hedychium densiflorum, but I do not think it is densiflorum. Lovely ginger, with the fragrance of honeysuckle, citrus, and something else...

Evelyn, that is great that you have lotus babies...I have a lot more seeds...I am thinking of making a bog garden just for lotus.

Felix, thank you! I believe tropical water lilies should survive here no problem. I bought mine from a friend who lives in Riverview - he has grown his outside for years. I also grow hardy water lilies - those should have no problem here. Tropicals, however, smell so good!
Here is one of the hardy water lilies (bought it from Lowes as a rhizome):

Olya, that blue cattleya is to die for! I have a blue one that just finished. I love to see it bloom every year. Blue is such a great color for catts.

Your waterlilies are gorgeous also. That little fuzzy one is too cute!
