thread for just about anything that is going on in your garden, or whatever plants you felt like taking pictures of!! I hope that everyone joins in from anywhere, since we're all Northwest of somewhere!

Spotted on my way back from the Sushi Bar... Taken with my blackberry.

Ginger
ABSOLUTELY love them. Daisies are my favorite.
Jan, some more daisies for you
and an African daisy
OOOOO thank you thank you thank you.
Ginger I love the first pic you posted. Kind of dreamy.
I like that one too Judi, looks like a fairy land.
Beautiful pictures everyone, haven't been posting, too tired, but I've been watching.
I got my big puter fixed, back in the running on pics as soon as I redownload them but here is whats on the chip now.
White Astilbe
Kaffer Lilly, from Holly
My new buddie, He's so cute
This is doing so well, and slowly fillin in. Notice the white ball.
My Candy stripe rose, have yet to see a stripe.
Last one, I know most of you have a Witch Hasel. Does this look right ???? or is something wrong. I just planted in the ground, but it looked like that before I took it out of the pot. Roots looked fine.
Pretty flowers Tills, so delicate. And I love the furry garden art! Can't help with the WH, I don't have one, it's on my wish list.
Great pics Tilly. I'm not sure about the WH. It looks as if it might be chlorotic. Not a really common problem in them, but a good shot of a high iron fertilizer couldn't hurt.
Bea.... Beautiful Osteo!
Ginger.... I think that Judi had the perfect word for you photos... Dreamy! very interesting and pretty.
took this one the other day.
this is from today. I can't remember the name of the lily.
this one as well.
another pic of one of my favorite salvias.
This little fellow is a holy terror in the yard and will be the cause of many "no's!!" and "get outta there!!" because he chews everything. EVERYTHING. I've started referring to him a a 'drive by eater.' He runs 5 steps and takes a bit of the nearest plant, sprints another 5 steps and takes a bite out of the next green thing, another 5 steps and bites my shoe! I've caught him eating: dirt, bark, small rocks (tasting larger ones), the hoses, my gloves... nothing is safe. Anyhow..... this is the owners new puppy. He is super cute. But one day he's going to chomp the wrong plant and have indigestion. My oldest cat can't stand him because she doesn't fight back.... just runs. Precious, my orange cat, is about 3x his size and has swatted the heck out of him every time he gets within biting range (remember his issue with chewing things?? that includes the cats' tail) I figure that it's a good lesson learned. it's really quite funny to watch because you know what's coming as he gets close to her. He should know better. But, he still tries. I think that they might get along in a year or two. His name is Sambuko, we call him Sam.

another of him. It's hard to get him to sit still for a picture. So, I put my gloves there to give him a reason to stay there.
OMG!! He looks like a holy terror!! Precious will keep him in line, wish it would help with the other one. She'll teach him some manners.
lol... that's exactly what I'm hoping for!!
Red your post 6740314 is an amazing photo. Wow
There's a reason Mother Nature makes puppies so cute.......
Thanks Judi! Yep, I agree! that must be why they're soooo darn cute.
Jumping on the daisy bandwagon a bit late...
Never had these "double" petunias before- I really like them. I think I'll get more.
I adore these little violets:
very pretty pony. I agree with you on those double petunias!
Thanks, Red- the only drawback to the doubles is that you can't stick a camera down them like this regular petunia... *grin*
lol.... OMG. I can't do that anyhow! What kind of a camera do you have? not only does it do well with a super close up, but it's really crisp without having to have really bright light. That's great.
It's just a little Canon PowerShot A710IS. Totally a "point-and-shoot" type thingie, 'cause I don't know squat about "real" cameras. hehe. But it does pretty well for me, and the macro is fabulous. :)
Definitely! Good to know. I'll have to check out that camera, just to see the sort of specs it has as I'm trying to learn a little about that sort of stuff. Thanks for the info!
No prob! It does have lots of custom setting capability, so it's got potential to be more than point-and-shoot for someone who knows what they're doing. Me, I leave it on "Auto" and hope for the best. LOL!
Here's one of my favorite macro shots that little camera has given me:
The pup is priceless!!!
Those two macro shots make me want to trade in my camera....they are beautiful!!
No great pictures...just a question....this just appeared in mom's garden, neither of us recall planting it....what do we have?
Thanks Trishia.
No need to trade in you camera, your pics are great. I've seen that thing before, but I can't say for sure what it is. Structurally, it almost reminds me of a gladiola.
