Some of my pretties...

My coneflower and phlox.

Russian Sage is really taking off now!

One of my dwarf dahlia's I grew from seed! It is doing fabulous - tons of flowers and buds on it too :)

Varigated phlox which hasn't bloomed yet and a pink type of phlox.

Another dahlia I grew from seed!

This was my new planter I made at the beginning of spring this year....look how nicely it has all filled in. I also have some clematis on the fence but they are cut down right now and you can't seem them I don't think....

Dawn these are really nice. I do really like the coneflower and phlox combo. Is that Franz Shubert? Your planter is so nicely filled in, looks like it has been there for a longer time than just since spring. All your plants look very healthy and happy which should make you likewise. :)

Thanks so much for the compliments ngam!!! All those plants in my new planter were just planted this spring so they did very well. They were pretty small when I got them from the nursery. I wish I could tell you the name of my phlox but I have no idea...I have several types and I don't know their names. Maybe someone could help out with naming it?

Nice variety of plants Dawn - all garden winners.

Looking good Dawn.

Thanks guys and gals...I am very proud!!

thanks for sharing your pretty garden, Dawn!

Dawn, Great Stuff!

Thanks folks but can any of you name my phlox??

Dawn - did you start your dahlias inside? I have bought two packages of dahlia seeds (my neighbours are going to be sooooo spoiled next year!)

There are many pink ones Dawn - it's not easy.

Dawn, the one in the first pic looks like 'Franze Shubert' to me. The pink one is hard to tell from pic and there are a lot very similar pinks. Are the petals pink or more very light pink to white? If pink could be 'Eva Cullum', if whiter could be 'Bright Eyes'. Here's a couple links to check.

Seandor yes I started my dahlia's indoors in March I believe...they are just the dwarf variety ones but they are so cute and pretty! I honestly didn't believe they would grow but they did - they were so easy!!

Thanks ngam!
