What's looking good in July 2009

.

 

Bob - that Verbena Claret is a beautiful colour and I like the big Verbena head - I have Homestead Purple. But I saw it at one place where the plants themselves all looked very sick. Is it a good do-er.

 

Both of the Canada lilies blooming this morning, rained last night.

 

Thanks Bob. Have you seen all my gardens on You tube?
Yours are nice too. Don't have a lot of sun, so what I do have I use sparingly.

 

Well then I'll send you my lilac tree which has not bloomed in 5 years, great leaves, still grows. This year I am giving it lime off and on, and yelling at it that next year or else. Thanks for looking at my gardens. Soon have another bunch on.

 

lovely pics redstar and bob!!! my begonia is looking particularly luscious at the moment!! its one of those aromantics from T&M! has quite a nice rose scent to it!

 

poop let me try that again LOL

 

Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous.


I love this thread

 

Nice Lilies, just went through my gardens this morning to stack up some of my lilies. I seem to have enough sun to have them grow and bloom but not quiet enough to keep them tall and happy. Have a few casablancas (spel) on the way.
And noticed a few will need moving due to a hydrangea thats getting bigger.
Claire, you phlox is nice. I only have a few, yanked most of them two years ago due to mold, some escaped. Spent too many years chasing mold, even with the ones that claim no mold.

 

A few more
