Plants & Misc that start with 'A' 2008 Photos

It's that time again to start the alphabet albums again!
Post photos from 2008 of your garden/indoor plants or any gardening related miscellaneous that start with A, it’s your choice whether it be botanical (latin) or common name.

If someone would like to start posting, that would be great!
I’ll post some of my A photos tonight after work ;)

Stay tuned, every week or other week will continue on to the next letter(s) in the alphabet! Please join in, should be enjoyable and make time fly by for the winter months!

Glad you started the alphabet in the gallery, Sharon! I am just starting to work with all the thousands of pictures I took this summer.

Right now, I am planning on not posting any pictures of perennials that have bloomed before this summer, but will hope that people will still go back to last winter's alphabet to see the other perennials I have in my yard.

Well dang, I had all my HTML codes all ready to go and then I clicked on Preview and it stalled, grrrr, therefore I lost all my codes, I'll try tomorrow but next time I'll remember to copy and paste on WordPerfect first ;(

Marcia, I sure hope your cute lit' Alberta Spruce makes the winter, I have no luck with them here and here I live in Alberta! LOL

Brenda, thousands of photos uploaded, you'll be keeping us busy all winter long, start posting girl!

Albo Picta hosta...

Albo Picta  7.6.2008

American Halo hosta is a slow grower for me. I would like to see what a little fertilizer and lots of water in 2009 will do for it. I love the leaves on this hosta.

Avocado

This is Alpine Lake iris, a MDB. It was taken just after a rain and thus the transparency in some parts of the leaves.

Alpine Lake, MDB

American Patriot is an IB iris I got from Snowpeak in 2007. Its first flower had 4 petals. So, first is a picture of the front, but then the second picture I will show has all four petals. Love the bright colors on this iris!!

Apache Warrior, an IB iris, bloomed shortly after I traded for it with a friend.

Arctic Fancy, IB iris is veined and edged with violet.

Ask Alma iris is an IB apricot colored iris.

Algrave lily is a pure pink asiatic lily that I got from Shelley in 2007. Thanks Shelley!

Here is a perennial potentilla called Arc en Sol. It has a double flower and is scarlet in color and as the flower gets older its edges fade to a yellow. Very pretty.

Acre sedum started to bloom July 6th.

Aymon Correvon sempervivum's flowers are so tiny and pretty.

Aymon Correvon, flowers

Aztec Gold Veronica is a miniature, creeping veronica. I love the yellow coloring of the leaves. Lots of people who toured the yard this summer asked what kind of perennial it was because its leaves stood out in the landscaping.

It is nice to see all the lovely flowers.

My Amaryllis are blooming nicely now.
Photobucket

And this is the reason I have been rather quite lately.
It's been "A" busy time redoing this "Area"....my living room.
We ripped out the rug and installed laminate. ("An" early Christmas present from my oldest son). Of course I had to repaint and buy new curtains and stuff. I need to paint the window ledges yet...but not until it warms up. Then I am going to get new blinds as well. I still have the old roller style that are a zillion years old. Roses, lilies and daylilies were always a priority over new blinds.

PS don't you just love my plant shelf too. LOL
