Beautiful! I'm green with envy

Zone envy! I find it diminishes greatly in the second half of May and does not come back until the following January.
Your pots are looking voluptuous down there in TX.
We can only hope!
dmj, which stocks are those? I've got some evening-scented, and a couple w/ names like "beauty of nice" and "giant imperial mix"...
you guys will have beautiful delphiniums when, if we stick our toe out the door, it will be "seared" from our foot by the heat! lol
Thanks all--will post some more pics when the other stuff starts blooming. The purple stocks are Burpee's "harmony purple". I just love stocks--they smell wonderful IMHO! Also some giant imperials there not blooming yet....
Debbie
Can't wait... Those look lovely.
Lucky you!
Ditto on the zone envy
I don't have a speck of green yet in my WS containers. Of course I put them out in Feb but I don't think that should matter. Getting more impatient every day.

Dmj,
as poppy lover, i was wondering how long it takes for your poppies to bloom from seeds for you? I heard i might take over a year for poppies to bloom. I got bare roots this year and i was quite impressed how how quickly they come up. Now the question is will they bloom? Your white poppy is adorable.

It was planted last Oct and then bloomed about early March...and prompty withered and died in the heat. lol But it was worth it for the short time it lived and provided winter interest as it grew.
=)
DMJ,
Do you know, broadly speaking, what type of poppy that white one is? The species or common name? Does anybody know? I have a lot of poppy seed, but that is the kind I want. I have Shirley, corn, rhoes (sp?) somniferum, etc., but I never knew what kind that one is!

Let me look thru my journals--I can probably find it this weekend. =)
That would be dandy! If you've ever noticed, most poppy pictures don't show the foliage, just the flower, so I've been having trouble idenitfying the kind I want.
Thanks,
Suzy
