| The other was getting long so I started this one.
This is my latest daylily fix, (ya'll know I like orange!) Citrix Stamille 06
Now some Iris my Mom has which naturally are not named, if any of you recognize them please let me know.
Now ya'll know I can't NOT post this little bloomer.....
Lol, I just love that one! That little....hum...I'll give you half a smile! She's really not grown as much as the pic looks, I was zoomed in really close. She at 9 lbs 14 oz. But MeMa's babysitting everyday, so MeMa's happy! lol

| Hi Sassy, Good idea. The old thread was getting hard to load. I'm not much for orange, but that daylily does look cool! I of course love the iris un-named and all. The expression of the baby is so adorable. I know you have to be happy getting to watch her all the time! Hope everything is going well in the new house, Remy |

| hey everyone. enjoying the pictures. the dogs are just too cute for words. klick and sue, best of luck with your new addition. klick, i like that ice plant and i can't believe you grow amarylis outside. the only time i ever see them in this area is around christmas and inside. maybe i'm missing something???? theresa, gorgeous blooms...what's the ID on the daylily, do you know? well, here's my arbor. i put it up today before dinner. a little blurry, but here's the wall i've been working on. it continues on the other side does this look like phlox foliage or is this a weed? how about this gorgeous bloom? (you can see the arbor in it's leaning against the car stages) could this be a weed? i sure don't remember it from last year, but then again, that was last year. maryanne |
|
| Susie, I think my little iris that just stated blooming is the same unknown purple one as yours. I used to have Boo, but another iris crowded it out. Your new dog is adorable! That ornamental rhubarb looks cool. Hope the frost didn't hurt anything too bad. Klick, Theresa, Maryanne, |

| I enjoyed seeing all the pretty flowers. Theresa, your Golden is so cute! Just love Goldens. We have one now and had one prior to her. Maryanne, your granddaughter is cute as can be! I can't believe all these things you make - retaining wall, arbor, etc. I haven't got a "handy" bone in my body and if I did, my back would give out long before I got anything accomplished. LOL I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day. My husband and I went out to eat on Saturday figuring it would be less crowded then and stopped and got an indoor fountain that I wanted for my bedroom and some potting soil. Always need that! My older daughter sent me the most surprising books - had never seen these before - one is an heirloom tomato cookbook and the other is something like "The $64 Tomato." Really enjoying them! I hope everyone has a good week. Third week in a row for me of bad back problems, so I am still trying to take it easy. I have been going to the chiropractor, but not getting the results I need to get so I will probably be going to my regular doctor soon. Several years ago he sent me for a shot in my back and it was the wonder treatment. I think it was some type of steroid. I went from hardly being able to move to being able to travel, carrying my suitcase, etc. (Good thing it worked because I had a lengthy trip to take just a day or two after the shot.) I'll try to post some pictures soon. I also have an outdoor amaryllis and it just finished blooming. They sure are beautiful. My oustanding plant right now is a rose bush - Veilchenblau. It only blooms once a year, but is a big sprawling thing and the roses are a purplish-blue. It's only about 2 years old and will be much bigger in future years. |

| Maryanne, I think the bottom picture is Bee balm,(Monarda) at least it looks like mine. Amy |

| Sharing a few pictures of my plants... the first one is Veilchenblau.
Potted plants on my deck - hopefully some of these will find a home in the ground, but the roses in the pots on the deck stay in the pots all year. These seem to like it best in the pots. Two nearly died when I had them in the ground, but they are happy as can be in their pots.
The rose in the foreground is Baby Faurax and the bright flower farther back is rose campion. Inbetween is a miniature rose bush. Wish I could remember the name!
I also placed a few picture on the Garden Circle Exchange Ring if you would like to see a few more. |

| thanks...i wasn't sure if that was phlox. i saw it coming up at my mom's and i remember how i ripped it all out on her thinking it was a weed. she has a little piece left. i'll have to give it back since i ruined hers LOL bee balm...i sure don't remember planting it there, but that's it ~~ thanks~ theresa, pretty daylily. i have that one, or should i say i am nursing a very sickly one that doesn't look like it will survive, but i'm not giving up yet. i woke up this morning to several blooms on my clematis - it's either the president or proteus. i'll have to take a few pictures. wasn't sure if i hurt it or not, because i moved it just about a half foot - closer to grow up the arbor (that i am so dang proud of!!!) sue, pretty iris. mine are just beginning. lots of pictures to come. maryanne |
|
| OK I finally have some Blooms to share with you all : )) Right now I have The following in bloom Tall bearded Iris Crowned Heads,Twice Delightful,Play With Fire,Argus Pheasant, and Jackamani Clematis. I hope I did this so it shows the picture.I tried to make a collage so it has doubles : )) Nancy  |

| Hi All, I got a few pics taken today. I am confused though. I thought I took more than I did. When Gary loaded them on to the computer, some were not there like the lilac out front. I'm an idiot, lol. I'll have to try again this weekend. Here's a few that did load. I wish you could all stand in my backyard and smell how heavenly it is right now. The shrub with the white flowers in the background is Viburnum carlcephalum and it has a great vanilla scent. The wisteria also smells wonderful.  This is of the Mourning Widow Geranium 'Samobor' with Forget-me-nots. This a little farther down the border of Zebra Iris that will be blooming soon. This along my front walk. The little blue flowers are Veronica 'Georgia Blue'. This is part of my little shade garden under a huge old rose. The hosta coming up is 'June' which I originally received from MaryB of the Traveling Daylilies. The tiarella to the left I received from another GWer Mulchy. |

| I love looking at all the pictures! I feel as though I'm visiting your gardens! It frosted the other night! I had to cover everything! What a pain! It went from 33* to 80* to 40*! Some strange weather! Remy, I'll post pics very soon! Deb |
|
| Nancy, I like how you made a collage of your plants. I haven't a clue how to do that! I really love the light blue iris and that clematis. I have a weakness for blue : ) Maryanne, Deb, Susie, Now, I remembered I could get close with this next photo. Some one sent me a few Allium bulbs last fall in our Oct. Bulb swap. Here's one starting to open with a few Poet's Daffodils. |
|
| Hi All, Here's the $3 variegated Flowering Maple and a cool looking geranium 'Vancouver Centennial' I got at the botanic gardens sale.  Here's an iris that bloomed today. I believe it is Iris florentina aka Orris Root. Here's my pot ghetto. Here's wallflower and phlox. A little orange for you Sassy : ) Susie, |
|
| Wow, can't believe how long its been since I posted here, been looking just didn't take time to post I guess. Everyone has such great pics! I just love this time of year when we can share! Sue, love the pup! She is precious! Theresa that daylily is gorgeous girl! Love the pooch! He looks like he's smiling! Maryanne...love the arbor, the wall looks great too! You're a work horse, I need you to come help me in my yard! lol Purdy, Purdy, Purdy GIRL!!!! Love it when you show her off, she's just adorable! I know you have so much fun with her. McKenzie is just getting to where she's trying to 'talk' to me in that little cooing and aahing, oh how I love it! Girl I got to have me some of that Gay Parasol! WOW! All of them are gorgeous, and yes I see your pet rabbit, lol Nancy....just gorgeous girl! All of them! Remy, love that geranium girl! Wow, what a pot getto! You go girl! Love that Iris too! Thanks for the 'orange' lovin' it! Candy Apple is the bomb! Here's a couple from me....... Noble Warrior....this is the 5th bloom and its still covered...but I'm much happier with the blooms after the 1st one. And of course, ya'll need a little bit a sugar....
Here's a few from my trip to the other house over the weekend.
Flying into the airport....(I should have posted this one before the area of the house, I took it after we left Sunday afternoon. Tried to get a shot of the house, but you can't see it for the trees. Not sure why this one turned out so crappy looking. This one is landing in Loris...
Hope you enjoyed!

| Hi Sassy, Glad you had a nice trip. Your plane photos remind me of when I was a kid. My father fixed a guy's car who owned a little plane. They did a barter deal that the guy would take us for a plane ride for repair payment. It was such fun. We flew over our house and lots of other local landmarks. Nice daylilies. I'm getting jealous of everyone's flowers being ahead of mine! Your granddaughter looks like such a happy girl. You and Maryanne are very lucky to have such cuties. Remy |
|
| Thanks Remy. Was afraid no one would get to see them. We can fly up there in 1hr 45 mins vs. 4hrs of very hard driving! Truck at the airport, 10 mins to the house, can't beat it. So sorry your blooms are slow, but shouldn't be much longer. I know its so hard when you think, maybe next week, maybe tommorrow. Maryanne I know agrees with me, they're just a slice of pure heaven!!! Oh well, more plants to plants...Had to give my back a rest! |
