A few pics today

17 years ago

I have Irises and Peonies blooming. There are also a few pics of my mandevilla, Miss Kim Lilac, new hosta bed in the works. I still need to dig out more grass and mulch it. I can't wait for the hostas to mature. There are a few brugs in that bed too.

    My peonies, lilacs and iris are spent already. I wish they'd last longer. Is that a white rhodie? I've never seen a white one before, it's beautiful.

    Well I am glad I clicked on it again. I thought I had commented already. But yesterday while trying to type in the message box, NOTHING happened. I could not and it has been happening a lot lately :-(

    Shawn I love the filled Petunia. Of course everything else is wonderful too and I am really glad for you that you too have joy for your eyes and soul now.

    Beautiful. I sure wish I could grow peonies here. Just too darn hot. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks everyone.
    Karyn, yes that is a white Rhododendron. Poor thing gets more pathetic every year. It was really nice the first year, then it got ran over by a quad, and I think it got ran over by a bicycle last year. I can't wait for it to rebound and be nice and full again.

    Rosepedal, be sure to post pics when yours bloom. I would like to add more peonies, but I need to come up with a place to put them first. I love the scent. I like to bring a few blooms in to smell, but they don't last as cut flowers, and wow, are those pedals packed in there or what? When they fall apart, they really make a mess.

    pkponder, that is a candy corn vine in the 2nd to last pic, the mandevilla is in a red pot in pics 3 and 7. It really hasn't started vining yrt. I have a pink one that is growing well but no blooms yet.

    Ryan, I am sorry you can't grow peonies but just think of all the stuff you can grow that I can't.Did you pot up your new amaryllis bulbs yet?

    Lucy, I love the dbl petunia too, I can't wait until it fills out. I also have a single pink one with a darker pink edge that I never seen before. The nursery had yallow ones called citrustunia that I really liked, but they only had them in HBs, not little pots.

    how on earth is your mandevilla already blooming :P my mandevillas (the only two that survived :/) only just began to sprout a couple weeks ago.

    Shawn you need to put a warning sign up....Like one of the street signs...warning cars and bikes that there is that poor Rhododendron that does not want to be run over again lol

    Shawn you got to learn to snip of a little stem and hide it inside another pot you are buying roflmao I believe I got a red Sage growing real soon after it will have rooted lol

    Ryan that's right...sure can not wait to see what Amaryllis you added from the Co-Op :-)))
