We continue with the torrid pace of great shots!
Clem Crystal Fountain.
Garden Photos of '09.....#22
Whole plant (Pieris).
NOID blue clem. This color is pretty true. Any guesses?
Blue Light.
Love this iris - almost black. Forgot the name.
Baptisia Purple Smoke. I really like baptisia - great foliage too.
Last shot of this (in)famous allium!
The other (not yet conclusively ID'd) mystery clem.
Ramona.
Last for now - Josephine.
On my way home from church, I stopped pretty quickly when I saw a neighbor on the street behind me out in her garden. She has a very striking orangey shrubby plant, so I asked her what it was. She said she couldn't remember, but it was the same as another one - different color- which happened to be a broom. The orangey color is flame-like. She also has a baptisia which is quite gorgeous, and she is going to give me some. When would be the best time to divide it? Fall or spring?
I would do it in fall.
Great news!! Thanks
As a general rule, earlier blooming plants should be divided in fall and late bloomers in spring or after flowering.
Great pics, Victor.
thanx
Any time! Thanks jumper.
Tulip tree is in bloom!
Closer.
NOID iris.
Victor - all of those blue blooms are so pretty! I tried baptisia, but it didn't do well. I really like it. Could your mystery bi-color clem be Nelly Moser? I'm not sure, but it looks like it could be?
Not sure, Louise. I have no record of buying that one.
Looked up Nelly Moser - looks too light to be it. The search continues...
Satomi dogwood.
Clem Fireworks.
The NOID blue clem again - looking more purplish in this pic.
Potentilla.
Waterlily.
Physocarpus Summer Wine.
My fave - Coppertina.
Another shot showing the bloom and the new foliage.
Last - one more Coppertina.
Too much to catch up with---some very lovely plants! I'm drooling over all the iris---loved that maroon one Shelley---is it a spuria? Victor, your clems are super---could the purple one be 'Harlow Carr'? Mine didn't come back this year. Thom, loved that 'First Frost' hosta---my clems are just opening---here's 'Marie Jensen'.
And 'Silver Moon' trying to cover the door knocker (which isn't on the door)...
A bright dianthus...
great pics just beautifull flowers
Victor your blue clem looks like one I have - I ordered 3 Durandi, and I think I got 2 Durandi and one NOID. The flowers look the same, but the leaves look different than Durandi.
And I was wondering why my Crystal Fountain was looking more pink than purple, but yours does too.
it maybe the soil I find that will purchase two of the same plant or devide a plant and depending where I plant it the amount of sun and the soil content can have an affect on flower color
Yes, I figured it was probably not the best soil.
Clems are notorious for color variation, Deb.
I had two of the henrii side by side to cover an ugly fence and I could see a veriation in the blooms so I would not worry about it just enjoy them
I buy them at the end of the year with no tags and plant them and wait to see what I got lol since it doesnt matter I love them all
