Hart, I have that Daughter of Stars too. It's very pretty. A little shorter than my other TBI.
May flowers...& why I garden.
These Allium "Mont Blanc" came from the Blooming Bulb Co-op. They were the biggest Allium bulbs I ever saw. Too bad the voles ate the older purple ones that were planted beside them. The new ones were planted in the Permatil. All of the purples got eaten this winter. Imagine expletives in this space.
Look what went walking by while I was posting flower pics. We don't seem to have problems with them eating our yard plants so it's nice when they visit. Some times they will get a drink from the birdbath or help them selves to a few sunflower seeds but mostly they just move by working along the hedgerow.
Sorry terrible pics.
Stormyla, Would you know what this is off hand? Critter asked me I didn't have it marked. I know it came from one of the DG Co-ops. I should be able to work my way though the lists I saved and find out but I thought you might recognize it by sight.
Edited to add: There were two of them Bambi's, the pic with both was even worse than the one I posted and you are right. They were "Big" deer.

I'm not sure Holly. That leaf shape is really deeply cut. Does it stay that color in 3 seasons? I may not have one like it. I'll look. Fast & easy ID is to post it on the Heuchera Forum. Those folks love to guess!! Funny, Terry never seems to mind people posting for ID's on that forum.
Thanks Stormyla, I know you have quite a few of them. If I can't find a tag for it I will try the forum.
Nice, Stormy...love your rock edging.
Awww, Stormy!
They are all so beautiful!
Do you buy these as plants--or do you grow them from seed?
I have never paid attention to names--just any old Columbine will do. But not really---I have a short, dark blue one next to a tall, lanky pink one.....They look odd together.
This is the short, blue one....
That's really pretty Gita. I like both your & holly's purple. I have a lavender one that's not blooming yet. Come to think of it, I don't know if it overwintered. I might have to get a dark purple one.
The columbines, I bought 1 or 2 small plants each. Then I keep digging up and moving the babies. Now they are everywhere.
The poppies, I grew from seed. Lost a couple this spring to that constant rain. These orange are in my front shrub bed. I have hugh reds in a small sunny bed in the back of the house.
Love the columbines.
Thanks, Jen
Yes, love the columbines and just love that you have names for most, if not all, your plants. Somewhere down the line I would like to do that. Even when I get "named" plants I either don't get them marked or loose their tags. I did get a label maker and metal plant markers so there is some hope for me yet.
Gosh, no Holly. I had a total disaster this year. Last fall my nieces came & spent 3 days in the garden with me doing nothing but plant look up and labeling. Picture laptop in the beds, actually on the hammock! Even though there were supposed to be, turns out the markers were not UV safe. I've lost virtually all of the names and have to start over again. Luckily I still remember some. Fortunately for the daylilies that came from the DL society, I left their tags on as well.
Jen, I will save some babies for you for the fall.
awwwww, thanks!
Stormy and Holly---
I suppose that is why people keep a garden Journal on DG...Post the pictures and the names....
Well--I don't either--and, as i said, names to me are not important.....Just if they are beautiful, a nice color, and grow well....
Took another picture of the pink Foxglove growing at the base of my "Autumn Sunset" climbing Rose....it sure has grown a lot--and I like this one the best.....
Will make sure I collect some seeds......
Name anyone???
G.
Chantelle--here is the CG Brug you gave me---It is growing well--even if slowly....
And, I DO want to say a belated THANK YOU for bringing me the BIG Dr. Seuss Brug. It is all potted up and sitting in the shade to "settle in".
You did not have to do this! The CG would have been fine! But--I am happy to have the Dr. once again......
How is the Brug I gave you doing? Where, and how, did you pot it up? Has it grown well?
Thanks again, Gita
