some sedum getting ready to bloom
Garden Photos of '09...#27
this is a shot of the persimmon? between the shirazz/hydrangea and bloodgood
How much sun does your bloodgood get? I'm wondering if mine gets enough sun.
poppy that did not want to play in the rain
sorry to here that celeste - i still need to trim my old mo too, never got to it last year
and another not so shy
My poppies didn't like the rain either! lol
My dwarf MO I had for 3 years, this is the first year it gave me trouble. The Old Fahion MO has been there for a long time. I've been here 23 years and it was here when I got here.
it get's a good deal of sun, most of the day - this is a new one this year as i lost the old one - they get redder with more sun - i even stopped at a hardware store driving this home because the ones they had were so red - had to make sure what they were.
here is my new little eskimo sunset - this is one funky colored tree - undersides are purple
this is a strawberry punch weigela
very nice blooms and they grow like weeds
the rose bushes are starting by the wall
Thats lovely! Wow on the bloom amount too!!
neptuna and corecopis(SP)
corallium jm
oakleaf hydrangea setting close
beni shishihenge still holding on to some pink on the lower branches
clem's still going
wha, your spelling ain't great, but your garden is! Try Nepeta and coreopsis. Sun is coming out! Guys are here mowing the grass, finally so I came inside as they work faster if I am not interfering with them. Bit my tongue. Patti
the new dwarf alberta spruce "jean's dilly" - like all of these spruces
you got that right patti - could not get close enough with even spell check to help - and thanks for pointing that out:)
cardinal candy vib.
peony that lost it's blooms to the rain
stella is coming with hosta blooms right behind
endless summer almost here
here is the noid whatever it is - do not think it blooms although it looks cool - have two of these that wandered into my yard
tulip tree that i planted in my neighbors to expand my garden:)
last one - whew - should be in the long view thread but needed to finish with something - looking up the side of the driveway
So how big will that dwarf Alberta get? Supposedly. I could use a dwarf or one half as big as the regular one.
Wha, I can't spell anything without spell check or my garden journal lists. I am hopeless but having spent my life as a non-speller, I just look everything up. I was always the first to sit down in the spelling bees, sometimes to the point of kids teasing me to not even bother to get up in the first place. I often can't even think what a word starts with! But texting so much has helped improve my sad mind.
Your 'Eskimo Sunset 'looks even better than when I saw it. I need to replace some very dead looking Jmaples. Odd that half look great, the others, far from it. Patti
Pixie, your grands are beautiful.
Bill looks wonderful as usual.
it seems that my spell check does not include garden plants:) knew both were spelt wrong and was lazy - just wanted to close enough in the horseshoe pit.
that little spruce, according to the tag here will grow 2-4" per year and top out at 2 to 4' tall - it is already 18-20" - got it off the scrap pile at that mahoney's in chelmsford last week - $10 - they had new ones for $30 not as big - there were a few others left.
this one is planted opposite a sander's blue dwarf spruce that will grow to the same size - they are behind the patio to add some evergreen color to the rest of what is there.
Spellcheck doesn't like iris terms like pumila. I ignore it; but it has decided to accept initials like SDB without objections.
Yeah. Spellcheck is funny like that. For me, it's not even accepting 'spellcheck'!
My oldest daughter was in town this weekend and brought her new [read 'expensive'] camera with her new [read even more 'expensive'] macro lens to take some photos for her photography class.
Here's one of my canadensis columbine ...
And one of the underside of the Nectaroscordum siculum, Sicilian Honey Lily Allium.
I don't know if it's because of the very wet weather or the cool spring, but my buds are even behind Pixie's! My clematis has just begun to climb, and only two of the daylilies have scapes. At least I know I'll be enjoying them soon!
Wow---don't know where to begin---Pixie--your Hayden is just a year older than mine! Both beautiful girls, Hunter, too! Victor, John Davis is climbing into the apple tree, so hard to tell how tall, but it seems to be about 15'. Patti, collages are very nice---that SI is a stunner. Do deer eat ferns? That might be an option for the sink. Shelley, loved the hydrangeas---most of the nice ones aren't hardy here. Bii, all the photos were nice, but Eskimo Sunset is a winner. Our paper this morn had a warning on Mile-a-minute vine---it's to the north & west of us---anyone have it in their yard?
Very nice photos, Candyce!
Luvly pics all. I would like to get more peonys but they do drop their petals fast in wind and rain. Does anyone have any ones that hold their blooms better/longer?
I don't know of any, but I can't wait for this one to open! After three years, it will finally bloom!
Whooo hooo Candyce!
Try a single peony rather than the doubles. They can drop petals also, but do seem to last a bit longer.
AHA! Thanks everso irisMA. I want to put them in a spot that is really windy.
