Here's a few pics I took this week:

This peony 'Bride's Dream', smells like lemon meringue pie!

This fellow was hiding underneath the petal!

Oriental Poppy 'Helen Elizabeth'. Such delicate looking petals...

Shieldleaf Rogersia (Astilboides tubularis). I'm always amazed how large the leaves are!

After a rain on a Lady's Mantle leaf.

Another nice peony called 'Nice Gal'. Just planted last fall.

Just bought this today at Home Depot.

This peony is called 'Fancy Nancy'.

Lovely looking garden, sanannie. So tranquil. Looks like your blooms are going full out in White Lake. WTG!

Don

I must look for Fancy Nancy since I have a dog named Fancy!

Here is Mon .J. Elie.

And just out - Raspberry Ice.

This is a newbie for me - a Gas Plant - Dictamnus albus (says Lois Hole)- just found last year. Currently about 18 inches high. The flowers are said to emit a aflammable oil and a lit match just below a blossom will ignite the oil. Have'nt tried that yet!
Heavily scented. A long lived - up to 20 years - perennial that will grow into a small bush.

Been very quiet here the last few days. I have nothing spectacular to show, but did get around to taking a few pictures this weekend.
Here's my lilies. These are just the small potted lilies that you buy at the grocery store. After they sort of died off, I just plunked them in the ground and they are mulitplying very rapidly, and I love them!!!

My calla lily that I have in a pot on the patio.

Euryops. I love this plant, especially because the deer won't eat it!!!
But beware: Last week I deadheaded it, and just put the spent flowers in a garbage bag. Came in the house, washed my hands. Somehow, a little while later, my hands were rubbing my eyes, or brushed my eyes, and WOW!!! I had one eye that stung and swelled up, and lasted for 2 days. I read afterwards that they are actually poisonous, so I guess I will be very careful next time.

Several of these roses are in bloom right now.

am enjoying this thread, such beautiful gardens!

It's always so nice to 'visit' with other gardeners...

Sue

Great photos and lovely blossoms, ggd. Thanks for sharing. I guess after your experience with Euryops, we know why the deer don't eat it!!

Don

ggd your place it lovely as usual.

Nice to have a tour of so many gardens, with out having to travel far at all.

Linda

Don, I will certainly be a lot more careful around the euryops now!!!! But at least I know I DO have something the deer won't eat!!! We have 3 new babies around this year and they go through quite often. But I seem to have found a deterrent. I mix up a spray of water, egg, and garlic and spray whatever I dont' want them to eat. They haven't touched anything yet, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I even did the tulips after they stripped them down, and they came back and grew and bloomed. Tulips are a no no for my yard anymore, and I am trying to put in things that the deer don't like. Seems to be working so far!
Hi LInda! Nice to hear from you. Hope you are doing well.
