Show us your Reds & pinks.

We are having so much fun showing off our yellows, lets go with the next color.

Forever Pink Hydrangea & Princess Diana Clematis

I have some nice pink poppies blooming now. The groundhog chewed them off earlier this spring so now they are shorter and bushier and strike a nice balance with the taller ones he didn't eat.

Another look.....

Those poppies are really lovely. I bought a whole lot of bareroot poppies this spring, and not a single one leafed out! What type are yours? They really are lovely. Of course, even if mine had grown, they would have died with my lack of sun . . . .

How about my Americana Rose does Coral count?
One of those nasty old ground hogs ate my poppies, too.

These are the caladiums I potted up for Mom.

I didn't have yellows to share, but I have lots of reds!

Episcia 'Kee-wee'...

And mine.

Calibracoa 'Terra Cotta'...

Harlequin Phalaenopsis Orchid... (could've been yellow too!)

Caladium 'Miss Muffet'...

(Sorry Holly... Didn't mean to stumble over you!)

Red fuzzies of Begonia 'Escargot'... front of leaf...

And back of leaf...

And finally, Coleus 'Chocolate Drop'...

No problem Wild Rose, that happens all the time. I'll find a shot with my Miss Muffetts for you.
porchulaca (sp) Talk about Hot Pink.

My goodness! Early those pink poppies in the first picture just jump out at me. It was like I was standing among them.

Holly that rose is beautiful!

I just love everyones pinks, reds and coral. Keep them coming.

I seem to have more pinks than yellow right now, too.
Here is a side view of one of my window boxes. Fl Sweetheart, Fl Cardinal, Miss Muffett and White Christmas plus some impatiens and morning glories.

Well, Here are a couple more pinks..........bee balm.

Here's a favorite chance combination from earlier this year... TB Iris 'Indian Chief' and magenta columbines from my DG friend Rikkashay.

Some pink Dianthus that I grew from seed last year...

another spring photo... Bergenia 'Winterglow' (red-backed foliage and pink blooms) and some red tulips (greggii, I think, although I can't remember the variety offhand)

Polka Dot Plant seedlings that I started under lights this winter

Climbing rose 'Zepherine Drouhin'... a very tough plant, will bloom in part shade (supposedly even against a north facing wall), beautiful and also fragrant... what more could you want in a rose?!? It's one of my favorite plants.

I started a bunch of daylilies from seed 3 years ago, and they bloomed for the first time last year, mostly pink and burgundy-purple colors, many with eyezone markings. I was so excited about how well they turned out that I started 2 more flats of DLs this past winter, mostly crosses with purple varieties... in fact, I up-potted a couple dozen seedlings just this afternoon. This time, I am keeping track of the seedlings' parentage... who knows, maybe I'll get a real winner!

Here's one with a nice eyezone and pretty ruffling:

I got some deeper colors, too.

And there are a few that turned out to be peach... I'm not a big fan of peach. Not at all. Some of they will Have To Go. LOL. But this ruffled pale peachy-pink one might get to stay...
