What's Growing, Part 3

Good Morning, all. Andy P was hinting (pretty strong hint) that it was time to start a new thread on this with well over 200 wonderful postings in Part 2. So I'll pick up the ball. Here's my first daylily, other than Stella, to bloom this year, in spite of the thunderstorms yesterday, with hail. I don't know the variety and it is much darker red than the pic would indicate.

here's the link to Part 2

Anita - you are growing your own tobacco again this year huh. What is the round orange one on top left of the P?

Hey Al - yes I am! I have pow wow's under the full moons! Top left is a wintersown Zinnia.

I noticed the Nicotina, too. LOL. It doesn't smoke very well but the flowers often have a nice fragrance.

I took another look at that neglected DL this morning. How could I forget about such a pretty thing? It must be all the rain that has made it flower so much.
A fresh pic taken an hour ago.

Here is a sibling planted to hide the gas meter.

Does anyone else grow a Little Leaf Linden tree?
I have one in the back yard, just coming into bloom.
The flowers are small but very fragrant and attracts all kinds of nectar loving flying thing.
The tree becomes a BUZZZZ of activity for a week or so.
Here is the flower.

Andy, the markings on the throat of the yellow are striking. But, in all fairness, you do seem to have a lot to keep track of. And it must be nice to find surprises. The color on your gas meter cover is great!

Gram, I have a habit of planting 'spare' plants in odd places. You know how it is, you start a dozen of something and can only use 5 or 10 of them. I give a lot away but there are always 'spares'. What to do, what to do.
A Wave Petunia.
Andy P

Andy- what is that petunia? I have been looking for it everywhere, but keep getting pale ones instead.

BigCity- can you post a pic of Catherine Woodbury? I really love that one, but haven't got it yet.

Anitabryk- lovely smorgasbord.

Ivy, It's a second generation seed collected from a "Pink Wave".
Here it is 'Wet'.
Andy P

I love the bright pink with the white throat.

Anita - I had meant the pic below the zinnia. Is that a ranulucus(?)

Ivy - I don't have a pic of that yet, but if I get one I'll post it.


It's hard to screw up a digital photo shooting with the sun. Here's a walmart pickup - LeBaron

This 'Arctic Queen' clematis is just getting established, but it sure has some gorgeous big blooms. Planted last year and didn't bloom, thought I lost it over the winter, but it's hanging in there.

hmmm...not the best focused pic. I was trying to beat the thunderstorms again.

I forgot that I had treated myself to some yellow Star Gazer Lillies last Fall.

That's a pretty one, YankeeCat. I didn't know there was a yellow Star Gazer.

Ayankeecat,
I always wanted to see a good picture of yellow star gazer, not a catalog picture. Thats a really pretty color and it looks big! I may have to get me one.

Anita, Nice photos. Your statue(s) looked great! (I think there was one at the foot of your pixie.)
Could you supply a close up?
Dave

Anita, I found it on the other thread. Its an unusually pretty one. (like the frog too.)

Oooh everybody has such nice pics. BigCity, that is beautiful!

pixie62560 - I tried to measure the star gazer - but the petals are curved back. So - excluding the curved back part of the leaves - it is about 4" across. The plants are about 3' tall or a little taller.

I can't wait for my lilies to open...

Mine started today!
Andy, with comcast internet I now get "photshow" I will need a tutorial. Right now we are trying to figure out why noone can open the photoshow my DW emailed them. Privacy adjustment?

Stella Supreme Yellow......................Happy to see them begin to bloom !

djs

djs, that's a nice soft yellow, like lemon sherbet

Oh boy, that yellow is so scrumptious.

I agree, Lovely yellow!

I like this photo, I think this is a Stargazer.

Dave, Did you put the PhotoShow in the "Favorites" gallery?
DM me if you need to, I'll help if I can.

djs, I like that one, is it a repeat bloomer too?

Al, love Stargazers.

Andy P

bigcityal,
Thats beautiful, I love star gazer too, can't wait for mine to bloom!

Al - that's a poppy. I wintersowed a whole bunch of California Poppy and I just love them!

Thanks Dave - My mother gave me the Pooh.

A very underated plant in my opinion - Helenium. This is Mardis Gras

I have no idea what the name of this one is. It was bought from a school fund raiser and given to me as a gift. Any idea's anyone? It is olny about 2.5 - 3 ft. tall.

Black hollyhocks are starting to bloom.

Another school fund raiser, but much taller than the other one.

A bonus plant from my spring shipment. I believe it's called "Janni"

Jedi Tequila Sunrise, another newbie for me.

Prarie Bloosom

Elegant Lady

Bellflowers trying to get some space to grow from the overly zealous "sundrops"

Boy there's a war now with those 2 ;)

my 1st clematis bloom, not sure which one it is but i don't care.....IT BLOOMED!!
