Lazy Sunday pictures

Linda's Garden z6 Utah

9 years ago

It's kinda hot here today so I have been pretty lazy. Just went out and took a few more pictures. They are getting bigger everyday (at least most of them, NOT Blue Ivory or Lakeside Paisley Print or my pathetic Niagara Falls (small one under the blue pot in 2nd pic) that was planted in 2012 and is still tiny).

Golden Meadows

Ripple Effect

Touch of Class

My new Rainbow's End that I just bought yesterday.

Dress Blues

June

Great Expectations ( I have high hopes, even though I have killed 3 but they were all in pots)

Goodness Gracious-getting some bigger leaves this year but still only 3 eyes.

Thanks for looking!

Looks good. You didn't "kill" those 3 GE's by the way. They committed herbacide.

Scroll medium fast down (or up) picture #7 (yucca?) for a neat optical effect. And what is in the blue bonsai pot? A euphorbia? I have a plant like that with the same stem action, but I don't think my leaves are as bright green. That cholla forest reminds me of the landscape near Needles. Drove through there one August. Jeez, that area was hot as blazes!

Nat, Man Of Sorrows is a good one in my garden. Multiplies well. It is in the second tier (which is the main biggest one) of my terraces garden. I was just looking at it today thinking I might move it front and center to the first tier of the terraces after bloom season. It really is a very lovely daylily.

I bet Chrysler Imperial would grow great in Australia... it's so strange it's not common there. It handles the heat like it's nothing. Still blooms in 100+. Super drought tolerant. Seems to thrive on neglect, but then really shines with attention. At least in my yard. Super fragrant too! And healthy foliage. No mildew. No disease. Seems to even repel aphids somehow. This rose bush in particular is very mature. About 50+ years old. Maybe I have a hulk mutant version of it. :) But my other youngsters seem to becoming just as strong here. You have so many other roses I covet in Australia though!

You've done really well, Linda. Fantastic choices that compliment one another via the terrific color contrasts. You've even chosen excellent, colorful companions for them! Looks beautiful.

Nice pics of your Hosta Linda. Can I ask, what is the Heuchera in the first picture down in the front?

Thanks everyone! I really like Heucheras too and I love the Berry Smoothie with the blue gray color of Flemish Sky.

Nice photos. Niagara Falls isn't doing well for me either.

Dress Blues makes me thing of Phil. He had really nice one. It's a shame he didn't live long enough to see this year's hosta.

I think I am going to dig up Niagara Falls and put it in a pot. I don't like wasting that space on a plant that is not doing well.

I bought Dress Blues because I liked Phil and Don's plant so much. A lot things remind me of Phil and I feel bad that his last growing season was such a disappointment to him :(

Linda: Berry Smoothie does look lovely next to Flemish Sky. I just bought Berry Smoothie last week so now I see what I have to look forward to. And your pic of Golden Meadows is beautiful. She is especially pretty in the spring.

Love all of these! Great colors and they all look really healthy. I bought Touch of Class and Rainbow's End this spring. They are already two of my favorites.
