It's time for a new begining. As the growing season is winding down. Cool blooming flowers in the garden are competing. Come and share your joy here with us. We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1202688/
Here I've Black and Blue Salvia, flowering maples and lilac obedient plants. Hummingbirds loves these plants.
Obedient plant's blooming stalks.
I bought 6 Black and Blue sasvias on the distressed table at Lowe's for $1.00 each, now I am trying to figure out where to put them. Can I plant them in morning sun afternoon shade, the last one I had in full sun burned to crisp. They are nice in the pot, love the cobalt blue color.
Offer, anyone would like 2 black Elephant ears, they are one year old, I planted them in wrong place and would like to plant something eles , so it is free, maybe swap for something nice. ?????
Thanks for the new thread!
Lily, I think your plant is one of the Abutilons.
Black Mondo Grass is blooming.
Rose of Sharon 'Blushing Bride.'
kiseta, I'd trade some gloriosas for your EE.
Kiseta, my B&B salvia grows beautifully in morning sun-only exposure.
I love it's late-season blooom (note the fall color in the background).
This is from a couple years ago.
Kwanjin, my black mondo has been blooming for the past month or so.
This is from a couple weeks ago.
kiseta, my B&B likes partial shade as well. Robin yours looks great. The Black Mondo's blooms are very attractive as well. J. those gloriosas are fabulous.
About my black Elephant ear, I went on website and found out mine EE is not black, only partaly, the stems. I did not realize how many different kind of EE are. here is the picture
I love dark stemmed plants. I like your EE.
I wish I could grow (or had the money to buy) black bamboo (phyllostachys nigra).
The pictures look fabulous. It's like $90 for a plant by mail.
And it's a zone 7 plant... Mind you, I buy lots of zone 7 plants,
some live, some die. One of the joys of gardening is zone-pushing.
But at that price, I'll just admire it in the catalog.
I think I have the same elephant ear. If it is it's called Heart of the Jungle. One of my favorites.
I have red salvia, coreoptis, light purple salvia, Hot Lava coneflower and zinnas, ironweed, catchfly, hostas, toothache plant, tall phlox and my containers blooming right now.
Zinna and light purple salvia blooming together.
Nice pics. everyone.
Here goes, the Crown of Thorn cutting that I potted over a week ago; looks like it's taking root.
Climbing rose don Juan is getting ready to put on a lovely show! Here's the first bloom, looks like i may get three more! Anyone else have one? I think it smells delicious like sweet raspberry. Mmmmm...
Cute little coneflower 'prairie splendor'
This Gorgeous zinnia. 'Elegans' don't know the little orange guys name. Pretty though.
'Elegans' zinnia is gorgeous OH81. I've the same rose and it's now climbing my arbor, pix was posted a day before yesterday with my S.A.C. and Turk's cap blooms.
'Honey Dew Drops' duranta, I think. Tropical perennial.
Where's your pics lily? I even went back to the old thread. Can't find it.
So here's another one of mine. It's the first year for mine so not many blooms yet. But here's another picture of it. Lol
A new Hydrangea from a plant swap. Not sure it's name. Older and pretty common here. Love the green flowers.
OH81, your Don Juan looks much more voluptuous than mine. The pix was a far away shot (just right above where I posted the Crown Of Thorn cutting.
It's pretty hydrangea.
So called 'Lilac of the South' blooms. Crepe Myrtle, dwarf.
That's beautiful. I love that color. Not sure if i can grow those here, I've never seen one in a nursery or big box store.
Here's endless summer
Here comes the sun do-do-do-do....
Sun flowers finally blooming.
Love those sunflowers, fine job!
My sunflowers are all opening, too.
Morning Glory 'Milky Way.'
Some things are winding down. Others are still going strong, like the Cannas. The Foam Flowers just came on.
A bad pic of the Basil.
This Canna has bunny ears.
Cosmos.
My sunflowers are also peaking.

Recently returned home and found one of those giants toppled by the wind, so I removed the flowers and prepared this for DW.
