Let’s See Thise June Gardens!
Comments (13)So many wonderful blooming flowers and arrangements! Seeing all these blooming flowers, makes me know I have work to do to ensure full time blooming. My daylily area is about ready to open up...likely this weekend. The Russian sage is super close too. I have the Shasta Daisy that are blooming but the bug problem (other post) is dampening my excitement. Gardencloe, what variety is the Shasta Daisy you have? I love the compactness of it and the height. The Becky and Alaska I have are a bit too tall in some of the locations I have them, and I'd like to add another shorter variety. Do you get a long bloom? Can you use them for cut flower arrangments?...See Morelet’s see your landscape!
Comments (4)We are in the PNW and growing hydrangeas is not difficult due to the rain, moderate temps and angle of the sun. Zone 7 - 8 is perfect and fossils of hydrangeas are quite common - so they have been growing here for millions of years. Most of the following photos were taken the last few days - so they are going dormant. You will also see many small pots and plants that will be sold at our garden club plant sale in May. My style of landscape is 'the one with the least amount of soil....wins' lol It is also called layering, and possible because we don't have to protect in winter, or worry about mildew - so we can grow them very close together. Anyway - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Back garden, Asperas, Lady in Red, Pia, and Nikko Blue in back - planted to hide fence. Aspera, Serrata - Beni Gaku, Oakleaf, new serratas still in pots. Other side of garden, Aspera, Mac. Kluis Superba, New Serratas Miss Saori and two Kiyosumi Along the driveway, raised and shaded under vine maples Hydrangeas and hardy fuchsias are great companions....See MoreLet’s share “Before and After” photos.
Comments (28)=) made it back to this thread to be able to post more now that I have some time to study. This is definitely is not studying, but it is my own social media interaction with friends so I need to take few minutes and then resume. Sylvia I really like your pictures, Moonstone is my number one hybrid tea. There is something lovely about a delicate white rose with that pink edge. It also makes a wonderful cut rose. I like your stone fence, do you have any plans for climbing roses? They would look amazing. Daisy and Desmond are just adorable =) Oldrosarian your picture of Cinderella left me amazed and drooling over it. What an impressive gorgeous globular rose. I then saw your shot with all the brown blooms and was a bit disappointed. Is this what happens to that rose every time it rains or something made it happen this one time? I recently planted 4 pomponellas and I think they may also turn this ugly brown as they fade requiring diligent deadheading. I am a complete crazy lady for the globular blooms tho and your rose is just spectacular. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Ingrid you entire yard is just magnificent. I don't know how you got that giant rock, but it adds another layer or charm and it fits in very well in the landscape. I love everything t you have done and it just seems to flow very well showing that you have a fantastic eye for design besides being a great gardener. Pippa I think you have made a huge change and I like the way you started doing. Everything looks organized and well planned. I have to admit to being very impulsive in the garden scene and just planting lots of stuff every where then neglecting to weed it. Your garden looks neat and clean, with good textures and great attention to detail. Which roses do you have planted in that large bed? HalloBlondie those pictures certainly count! Huge difference in a yard with such impressive winter cover. Everything looks so alive now and beautiful. Vapor your ballerina on that balustrade looks like out of a Spanish castle magazine. I love the soft girly look of that rose and feel like it looks wonderful paired with anything. Is that lamb's ear showing up in your picture? I don't have any, but have seen it at lowes and always wondered if it would be a good companion plant....See MoreColors, flowers and plants, please let’s see them February, 2021
Comments (72)We may have just had two more inches of snow, and three feet on the ground, but it's spring and summer indoors. I haven't named it yet, but this is a baby pomegranate tree, about six weeks old. It's in a 2 1/2 pot, receiving sunlight at the window and artificial light from sunset to bedtime and my wakeup time until the sun strikes it. It's just sprouted from a pomegranate seed from a pomegranate from the grocery store for sheer fun and I have no expectations for it. The Ageratum That Will Not Die. Fed organically (20%) and synthetically, it just keeps blooming more nicely as the winter wears on. A "struggling" tropical hibiscus started in...November, I think? Named "Brandy." That's her individual name, not the cultivar. She was struggling a bit, but has recovered recently with keeping the soil moist (there's some cyanobacteria mats on the soil right now), and feeding a lot more than I normally would in February since she's under lights 18 hours a day....See MoreFrozeBudd_z3/4
