    Here's some from July/Aug.2007. I have lots more in my garden album, but not scanned to PC files.

    I'm a relatively new gardener, too.

    Here's our mostly shade garden in a picture taken from a deck off our detached garage/guest apartment.

    Here's a new garden just added to the front, sunny area.

    And one more area in our back gardens.

    I'm looking forward to seeing all the pictures! I get so many good ideas from you guys.

    Linda, I very much enjoyed your photos. Can you tell me about the first one? Is that in shade? What are the plants in that picture. It surely is nice eyecandy!

    Schoolhouse, is your garden album public? I'd love to stroll the pictures if so!

    Don't we just love to give ourselves so much work? ha Love the gardens so far, Linda - the blooms are beautiful. bamateacha, that is my kind of garden! Strolling from one venue to another, stopping to sit here...and then there... My garden album is not public, I take pics the old fashioned way and keep them in hardcover albums. I do have some that show season by season what is in bloom,ect. It's been a 25yr.labor of love. Here a couple more I happened to have on my PC:

    Unless I'm hogging the board, I'll try to scan a few better ones that show the perennials,ect. later. Thanks for the compliment.

    Thanks for the good words!
    The first picture is an area that gets morning sun. The picture was taken about the middle of June, the pink is a clematis, I think Ramona, the yellow green is Hosta September Sun, the white is astilbe, don't remember the cultivar, there is a day lily sending up scapes, which will be red orange...but it won't bloom until after the clematis is through.
    You can see the remains of a dicentraand on the right a filipendula but I can't remember which species.

    Wow, bamateacha - you're a new gardener? Sheesh, I've been gardening for several years and my yard doesn't look anything like yours! Great job! Everyone's pictures are great.

    Thanks, Donna, for starting this thread. I always love to see the beautiful work others have done.

    :)

    Awful nice, timbu. The pansies - I planted them in a border for the first time last summer,the variety that over winters; and they came back this Spring as pretty as yours. Aren't they cheerful? I really want to walk down that path in your shady corner!

    Lovely pictures everyone! Thanks for sharing!
    Linda, your Clematis is definitely not 'Ramona'. It is probably 'Asao'.

    Oh I love those blues, franeli. I bet my husband, the music lover, would love, love, love a blues garden! Can you share your list of blue bloomers?

  • 18 years ago

    bamateacha,

    the plants blooming on 6/15 in that photo are:

    allium 'purple sensation'
    salvia 'may night'
    viola 'sorbet babyface marine'
    veronica 'new century'(can't see this one)
    two kinds of iris, one with blue edging from Dutch Gardens
    a purple and white columbine

    6/24;

    Salvia 'May Night'(still blooming)
    Scabiosa 'butterfly blue'
    nepeta 'Walkers Low'
    annuals: ageratum 'blue horizon', 'hawaii blue' and salvia 'Victoria Blue'
    dianthus'ideal violet' (magenta colored)

    Mid summer I'll have white lilies,phlox,coneflowers and different daylilies like 'bela Lugosi' and 'little grapette'

    hope this helps!

    It's my MIL who sows the pansies... I can only take credit for photographing them in the right light.
    Turning left, now there's a few plants I've added:
