Show us your gardens - a photo thread - April 2015
Comments (32)Welcome to the forum, Debra!, nice new growth in your garden - looks like Spring! It's daffodil time here too, just not as far along as Steve's. This is the view from my kitchen window today: I cut the grasses just in time - the Jetfire daffodils are blooming in between two grass clumps, and you can barely see the Toby the First daffodils in the back behind the pierises. N. 'Jetfire' does very well in my garden. I planted these years ago and they keep coming back and multiplying. N. 'Toby the First' blooms are fading out as they always do. From a different angle the Toby the First daffodils are behind Pieris 'Little Heath' in bloom. Pieris 'Karenoma' is in full bloom. Other pierises not yet. Blue scillas are in full bloom now. Scilla siberica 'Spring Beauty'. This is one of the few flowers that I consider to be truly blue, not purple. White scillas are beginning to bloom. This one appeared in a new spot, not planted by me. And the first Lemon Glow daffodil is blooming by the concrete foundation, much earlier than the others down by the road. This one will also fade out to pale yellow. Claire edit note: You may be asking why I planted the Toby the First daffodils so far behind all the big stuff. Well, actually, that was once the front of the garden - I just kept sticking more and more plants in front of the daffodils because I didn't have room anywhere else....See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A photo Thread - July 2015 Part II
Comments (39)Molie, I have a few white daylilies, but 'Light the Way' is really quite stunning. I also love 'Delia O'Brian Brown'. Steve, I can smell those lilies through the screen! And I'm sneezing! LOL! I really love the look of lilies, but I'm so allergic to them. Tried them for a couple years but just had too many issues. Then the beetles came.......then I really gave up. Will have to continue to enjoy your great photos! Isn't Marie's garden awesome?! I'm so glad Barb took pics while we were there. One of those gardens that is just so much fun to stroll around and find all the cool stuff planted. Such a wide variety. Claire, my viburnum was flowering beautifully, until they all started to turn brown, shrivel up and fall off. So no berries for me this year. I was just happy that the shrub appears to be OK. I was a little worried when the flowers were giving it up. I really like that carefree delight rose. Soooo pretty. Rooguchi clematis has been a blooming powerhouse for weeks. It doesn't show much sign of slowing down yet. Mohawk viburnum with its beautiful berry display. I love the way they change colors over time. Sorry for the blurry photo. I really need to ditch my point and shoot and go back to my D-SLR. But you get the idea. It's loaded with berries.....and the birds and critters never eat them. The daylily bed never disappoints. Delphiniums are now all cut down in cottage area. Hoping for a repeat bloom this fall....See MoreShows Us Your Gardens - a Photo Thread - November 2015
Comments (38)Took these today. It's been mild so far, but somehow I am guessing that things will be very different in a month or two...... The little red mums come back year after year, but the daffodils sprouting surprised me. The large-pad prickly pear cactus is loaded with fruit now. The pads are 10 inches long and the fruits are about 5. There are two photos of my yellow Knockout rose, still with a few flowers and one shows the hips. The foliage of the oak-leaf hydrangea is always a great color in fall. The last one is a mum that I've had for years. It blooms early, thrives on neglect, and best of all has a very large flower for a hardy mum, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Not shown are my camellia Snow Flurry (but posted in another post here) and the lavender, still going string, and a few flowers on my ice plants (delosperma)....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - August 2022
Comments (34)Babs, I think you are right - they should be all set now if we don't have a heat wave and drought the rest of the Fall. [g] No, I never get concerned when they report possible flooding because we don't seem to be in an area that gets that. I've lived here for 30+ years and never saw water even collect in the street. I'm very thankful about that. I did see a weather report warning of flash flooding yesterday, but I never pay attention to that. There is a community about 4 exits down the highway from here that gets their downtown flooded pretty frequently in a heavy rain, because they are in a low lying area. But as far as a river overflowing it's banks 2 towns north of us there is a river that overflows it's banks and floods neighborhoods, so I hope they haven't had that problem. We'll have to see what the news has to say by the time all the rain stops. And in NH they have that issue in neighborhoods along the main river that runs through the state. We have family that just moved to NH, but thankfully, not along the banks of that river and they are on a lot that is the high point of the neighborhood, so that works out very well. How about where you are - anyone here that is affected by flash flooding?...See Morehomegrowninthe603
