Sorry everyone, was busy again at work. The clematis was given to me by pitimpinai "Mone" early this year. It is called Etoille Violette if I remember correctly. Looks the size of the flower isn't normal. Most likely due to transplant. Carol, I forgot what number 6 is. It was wintersown back in 2009. Looks like it's Double Rudbeckia. The Irish Eyes is green in center. About the shasta daisy, I forgot the name too. It was from 2009 too. About the annual vine, I noticed that 3 plants aren't enough for that pot. I will also change the potting mix. Brand is Schultz and looks like the vine took forever to grow. Thanks mnwsgal for the kind words! :) Below is another one I took the other day. It's the Radiance variety. Thanks everyone again! Btw, I'm also enjoying looking at your pictures! Continue posting and Happy Gardening!!! :)

Thank you all - they are definitely very me whatever that is. I actually had more of a color scheme going originally but somehow they have multiplied into every color and I like it. I do have more pastels in the front and hotter colors as you move behind the deck. The house is not really that big but it's spread out and has a lot of volume. I really like things rather neat if you can imagine that with all this disorder and I like to see a repetition down the garden of something that is starring at the moment - daffodils in a similar tone in the spring, then the peonies and iris, then the daylilies, later it's asters and phlox. You know the funny thing about that CindySunshine name is I totally made it up as I was registering on gardenweb out of nothing - but I am definitely a sunshine girl always have loved summer and sunshine. If you look at that first picture with the front borders, I am standing on the driveway - if you look thru the daylilies (and BTW that is "Cherry Chapeau" that is the brilliant burst of color in the foreground) past the flowers around the lamppost and then the line of big trees, that's where the orchard is - you drive up through it as you go up toward the house. If you turn to your left that's where the butterfly garden is that I posted earlier. We built the house 20 years ago - we literally crawled thru the brush and hacked things down to find that there was a lovely spot up here to build. I was thrilled to find the combination of trees in the background, but sunny areas around the house for my gardens. The ground was really not very good at all - we built it up mostly with just work, compost, mulch, weeding, weeding, weeding, weeding - sometimes I feel like I've spent half my life weeding - LOL. Here's the vegie garden a couple weeks ago before the corn got so tall... Quick view of the pond - I took this several weeks ago (notice the same gazing ball that is now engulfed in stuff in those shots this morning - I was worried at the time about the pedestel it stood on and whether I should paint it - like why bother - LOL. And finally behind the deck - I took this in the spring right after the japanese maples leafed out - my easiest least maintenance area of the garden - all I do is put a handful of fertilizer around them in the spring. They don't even ever get watered, hostas do great. Thank you all. :)

I checked my lable on this one, I have it as Siloam Ury Winnifred. NOT! I wonder if it can be the weather though. I purchased it last year from a local grower, it was blooming at the time & I looked it up online. It seemed to be correct then. I actually like the color better this year. Looking at it and everything on Roswitha sounds & looks correct. The picture looks right for Forty Second Street, but according to the site I looked at Forty Second St is over 3", this is a bit smaller. However, it really did look like Ury last year, so I think this is probably correct... Sure doesn't look the same though. The grower sold me a small clump, & it almost died out in the heat last year. I wonder if there was a root of another daylily & Ury died out?

Oxalis comes by itself. If you do not want it everywhere, I would carefully yank it making sure you have everything. In a clay based loam , it became totally infected. I liked it with my wandering jew because it would be very nice in late winter before the wandering Jew had taken off and then it would get rust and die off abve ground and the WJ would be there ready to take over the job of taking over the space. Only problem was it tpook over everything in the front yard. This one is a native . also called wood Sorrel. Eatable in sallad too. A tart taste.
