7 years agoIf you check the Getting through Winter thread, you'll see lots of great photos from our Australian forum members, particularly from titian (Trish) who gardens in Sydney, Australia, right next to the world class beach Sydney has. She lives in a tall, older home with multilevel gardens. Diane
Meanwhile, it was worse here (actually tons of snow this morning covered this up).

David Austin Backlash... Well post your FAV Austin Pic here.
Comments (146)Tess is such a good rose. It was on the bush 6 days and just kept getting poofier and poofier but held together. Its been a dry heat and in the 90's this past week plus uber smoky from the wildfires and literally 'raining' ash some days. Gotta love Tess! Some others doing well in the wicked heat TIMF Litchfield Angel Jude the Obscure...I swear I couldnt get enough pics of him the other day!! He is sooo ~Dreamy~ I'm obsessed with the way the buds look half open. I could get lost in those buds for hours!...See MoreYoung maples declining post-shipping (southern hemisphere)
Comments (4)Thanks for the info all! Hoping like crazy they will pull through! @tsugajunkie: they are getting watered once a week now, I'll wait until my other maples drop their leaves to tell if these have managed to enter dormancy OK. And just realised that last pic was a bad pic, I staked them (carefully) with fresh willow branches which is what you see, the maple stem is behind the willow. Any more advice would be much appreciated!...See MoreWe need color in November....here's some cheery pics!
Comments (14)Hi all.... Thank you for appreciating the beauty of all my flowers...my 2 favorite flowers in the world are roses and lilies. I am glad you like the dahlias too...they were huge, some measured nearly 11 inches across. Up here in zone 4 I have to dig them (and the gladiolus) up every Fall and store them in a cool basement til spring...some bulbs I have "recycled" for nearly 10 yrs. The problem now is that roses are taking over most of the real estate in my yard, so there is getting to be less & less room for other things. Phyl...sorry I forgot to label the lilies. In order, they are: Centerfold (Asiatic) Luminaries (O.T.) Rosalinda (Asiatic) Anastasia (O.T.) pink, in foreground White Henryi Arabesque (O.T.) mixed Orientals Let me tell you, that Arabesque is a monster of a lily! It is more like a TREE...it grows to stand taller than any of us (over 6 1/2 feet tall) and the stalk is so thick that in the Fall when I go to cut down my lily stalks, I need a SAW!! And it blooms later than most...there could be 20 or so lilies that slowly open from the bottom upwards. It is also exceptionally fragrant, but not overpowering as some. I got it from "The Lily Garden" if you are interested...that and Luminaries (the yellow OT). The others I got from B & D Lilies. Annabeth...that cute little rose in front of Tiffany is "Pink Rosette", a floribunda that blooms in clusters all summer. Mine is very prolific, and the little flowers are adorable. It stays short and compact. Seeing how you all appreciate my lilies (and Pink Rosette) I'll do another post to show you more! I hope you enjoy them too.... you all are great. Celeste...See MorePosting a few more rose pics
Comments (20)Here is a few more after last night's rain, and I will finally post the pics I had of the first bloom of Brown Velvet, from a bud till a week later--the petals finally came off in the rain last night. Brown Velvet day one--sorry for the blur, but as you can see it was raining at the time day three--also, the one from the name that rose game was from this day day four day 8--last day before petals fell in the rain. finally looking a bit more brown than orange, though I would still call that color a pale salmon rather than brown.

Beth, you mean the last one? It's delbard grimaldi, my mobile didn't capture real color of that one.
Today is even hotter than yesterday, with the hot and dry crazy wind, few of Florentina's branches broke bc it grows too fast in the hot days. But don't worried, the rose may have more lateral branches. It happened before.
More roses today

Since the weather is so hot, I think I better take them inside before they are fried. Three you go:
Florentina and ebb tide
Hope those will warm up your days.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoThanks everyone. I think Gardening is an art, flower arrangement is another art. Could be better, but that's all I have on hand. ;-)
Cori, sorry, I don't remember the name those perennial. The white one is not a good filler, better than nothing only. The purple little flower is below, it has very strong garlic smell if you break it.
