What is Blooming in Your Garden - April 2011 - a Photo Thread
Comments (48)Like DTD, I was also hoping to get a few more blooms in before the end of the April thread, but no matter how hard I entreated them, the wisteria buds and tulip buds just sat there. Swollen, but not opening. Ah well, next month. It's great that you're doing this pixie_lou. A while back Belle Isis used to post What's Blooming threads but she hasn't been around for a few years. There's extensive directions on inserting links in the How do I use HTML Code to change fonts and insert stuff in posts? FAQ. Once you get the hang of it it's really easy and fast, but I suggest that each time just before you post a new thread you copy the Message box (with all the codes ) and save that message as a text file somewhere. Just copy those codes into your next thread. That way you don't go crazy when you have to refer to a bunch of links. I was just writing out specific directions when I saw you figured it out yourself! A new recurring thread is born! Claire...See MoreWhat's Blooming in your garden - photo thread - June 2013 part 2
Comments (39)pixie lou, I love the bright white of the shasta daisies. The nasturtium is a nice color. Do you start from seeds each spring? PM2, my patch may not be big enough. I just started last year with 3 plants. As for bees, I don't have many. I don't know why. Could be that the last owner used 'many chemicals' as quoted from the next door neighbors. Could be because there were very few flowers when we first moved in....like 2 butterfly bushes and 4 poppies. BTW, the oakleaf hydrangea is beautiful. Claire, how does that Itea virginica smell? nhbabs, I like that Clematis 'Fascination'. terrene, thanks. My crazy dog has been scaring off all forms of wild life except for the occasional deer and cats. I planted some sunflowers and have been worried that the deer will find them. Putting a fence is not ideal since the sunflowers are in the front yard and they will be at least 5 feet tall. Probably, should of thought of it before planting but I wanted colors in the hot southwest spot in the yard. -Tina This post was edited by Tina_n_Sam on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 18:59...See MoreWhat's Blooming in Your Garden - Photo Thread - June 2014 Part 2
Comments (56)Thanks, Dee. Yes, that's it. Haha on the height. When you gave it to me, it was just about our height. I had to tilt it across the back seat and open the window for it to fit in my car. Then, on the trip home, it was raining harder, so I closed the window... on the tallest branch....wasn't thinking. Now, it's just below 5 feet tall. It's still beautiful with so much more flowers this year. Plus, the bees like the flowers! molie, the Hellebore and Oenothera 'Siskyou' and doing great. The Hellebore bloomed earlier this year with burgundy flowers! I didn't take a picture....don't know why. The Oenothera smells so wonderful. -Tina...See MoreWhat is Blooming in Your Garden - September 2011 - A Photo Thread
Comments (24)I'm finally downloading the photos from my camera from the past few weeks. But here is what is blooming lately. Yes - it is October 1st, but these were photos I took in the past 2 - 3 weeks. A gerbera daisy - I bought this plant 2 years ago - and it keeps coming back in the pot. Had I known this "tender annual" would survive, I would have chosen a different color! Self Sown Carpet of Snow Alyssum A baby fever few plant I transplanted back in May has now grown and bloomed. The morning glories vines have bloomed profusely over the brush pile. Star of Yelta and Crimson Rambler. I keep Galdiolas in pots on my patio. This year I added some peacock orchids. Both were a total bust - except for this lone peacock orchid that bloomed this past week. It was a surprise to find this toad lily in bloom. It is so near the ground, and the foliage has been eaten by something hungry. And lastly - some type of wild aster growing on the back side of the pond. One of the good things about being behind on weeding - you can find some pretty weeds!...See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
