Blooming in JUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok.........here we go for june
this bloomed in may, but it looked nice so i put it up for june

Is it some kind of iris or what? Very pretty.

its a walking iris (neomarica gracilis) but totally unrelated to real irises

Plumerias leafing out. How about a flower?

another

Sago looking for a mate.

Bird feeder weeds.

Anyone know what this is?

aahhhhh tallow tree/ popcon tree!!!! KILL IT!!!!!!!!! they're invasive, but beautiful..... but still they're caled popcorn trees for a reason; you will not reget killing it

Here are a few pics. First is Scadoxus multiflorus (a tropical and not hardy around here - has to be grown in a pot and kept dormant during the winter).

x Hippeastrelia 'Durga Pradhan'

Echinacea paradoxa

Triteleia laxa 'Queen Fabiola'. Pardon the weeds and dying foliage from spring bulbs :)

diehrdsouthrnr, Love that first photo! Now thats different!

CoreHHI, Nice rose and sunflowers!!

TomH3787, Really Nice Photos! Those Reds and Blues really pop right out at ya!! Very Pretty!

wow that is a really nice blue! and i like that red poofy ball thing

Red poofy ball thing...so scientific Trent, LOL! For the record, I like it too:-)

I had to post this on the Iris forum to get an ID. I have learned that is is a Japanese Iris which I do not remember planting but then I got to thinking and I believe it is one Downscale_Babe shared with me. It was a lovely surprise yesterday.

This is a large flower on a very young plant, you can't even see the leaves. If I was a good plant mommy I would have snipped the bud off so the strength could go into the plant.

Hibiscus rosa senensis 'Edna Bogaert'. Tropical

Tom, is that beautiful Scadoxus multiflorus the same thing as a Hamanthus multiflorus? The names of so many plants have changed and I can't keep up anymore.

Pagoda Pink Boug.

That's crazy size for that small of a plant. I like the colors of that hibiscus.

BTW that's not a rose, it's a gardenia flower Iris.

Nice pics ardesia.

CoreHHI, Thanks for pointing that out to me, Sorry about that.

ardesia - Scadoxus multiflorus is the new name for Haemanthus multiflorus ... so yes it's the same thing.


Here are a few more pics....

Butterfly weed... Asclepias tuberosa (very common but pretty and makes great food for monarch butterfly larvae).

Caesalpinia gilliesii - pic taken in the evening w/flash. Hot days fry the flowers so it's at its best in the evening or early morning.

Thunbergia battiscombei - just starting to bloom. In a few weeks it will have grown some more and have more flowers.

Tibouchina 'Athens Blue' ... not the greatest picture but it's the best I could do today. When it gets into the upper 90s the petals get fried. I sure hope the recent heat wave isn't an indicator of the weather pattern for the rest of the summer.

Happy Birthday Tom, serious thunbergia envy....

here is a brug I received at round up - 'Milk n Honey"

I am pretty stoked about my pelican flower (dutchmens pipe) getting it's first "pod" child LOL

Lotus starting to bloom....

truly digging my 'Smoke Tree's" leaves right now...

coleus I just had to buy at work LOL - it's no wonder I never have much of a check left after I purchase all the things I water each day LOL

and last but not least, cause they are going to be taller then me soon LOL are some Shasta Daisy's - I split a gallon bucket last fall and this is what lived to tell the tale...albeit a tall one he he

TomH3787, All nice, I really like the pic of the butterfly weed.

rednyr, I just gotta get me a dutchmans pipe! Brug blooms look good! Smoke trees outer leaves stand out!

Most of what I have blooming right now are Daylilys, hope you all don't mind a few pics of them..
