[Gailey]

I also have this pretty little girl blooming at the moment. Her name is Clematis alpina "Blue Princess"

 

[Gailey]

and here''s her long shot ....

Beautiful Gailey, I especially love the Blue Princess.

Lovely Clematis, Gailey! Another plant that doesn''t do well here in the south. Love seeing all your plants...

Some of these were taken a few days (week) ago.

Bottle bush, really a tree...

 

[mochi]

Papaya plant with flowers and a couple of papaya

 

[mochi]

Apples are ripe for the pickin''..

 

[mochi]

I love my mulberry tree (still small, so I guess it''s a bush?)... It''s planted away from buildings since it can be a messy tree. I gave my co-workers a couple of branches that I trimmed off and they are growing..

 

[mochi]

Lavender crepe myrtle. This was one of the first plant my DH and I bought together. We had it planted at our first home. When we got move to the new place, we couldn''t bare to leave it behind, so now it''s planted in our sitting area where we can see it from our bedroom.

 

[mochi]

Salmon/pinkie crepe myrtle...a volunteer that was growing in a pot with another plant... Can''t complain about those volunteers!!

 

[mochi]

This is the way the brugsmansia looks before blooming...

 

[mochi]

Incredible pink/peach coloring that it turns into (this was fully open this moring, but is starting to close)..

 

[mochi]

 

[mochi]

WOW...there are so many blooms on this plant!!

 

[House Cat]

The first year I put in my raised beds, the soil I purchased to fill the beds was hydrophobic. So, I had to keep adding compost in order to get it to retain water, more compost than anyone ever should have added. Needless to say, I grew plants of unusual size that year. Here is a photo of my son next to a sunflower leaf.

OMG!! That is the loveliest flower I have ever seen!!!

Goodness, the leaves on that plant is huge... I bet the sunflower itself was gigantic.. LOL!!

Mochi, I want to come and visit you and sit in your beautiful, beautiful garden. Just looking at those papayas and apples are making me hungry. Adorable picture of Vicki and Max.

NOW WHAT??????

LS

turtle soup !!

 

[LostSapphire]

OK so I "helped" him (with the snow shovel) to get across the road towards the river...he''s been aiming there all day....but now he''s turned around and coming back across the road towards the yard.

(this happens every year as the turtles try to get towards the river bank to lay their eggs but they get their directions mixed up). We try to steer them around but not always successfully!

This one was maybe 2 feet long....lotsa soup!

In my garden.....Lots and lots of weed. Heaps of it.

 

[arjunajane]

Just kidding!!

But seriously, you ladies have some glorious gardens and flowers, I''m so envious!
But I have to be honest with myself, I would never have the patience or effort to create these
kinda gardens..I have two large pot plants on my balcony which were an engagement gift (and I really like), and a courtyard with some dying bushes, rofl..

I''ve often thought I''d like to start a herb/veggie patch though - fresh lettuce, yum!

You ladies have some amazing planties growing in your yards, and I''ve loved looking at all of the pictures.

I''ve been trawling through this thread all day, because construction started on my backyard this Monday. My yard is a MESS right now, but some of our new plants were delivered yesterday, and I''m about to be the proud Mama of a new Yopon.

My husband emailed me pics when they delivered some of our herb mix and hydrangeas yesterday, and said "it smells like rack of lamb out there" because of all of the rosemary! I''m so excited to post my pics when it''s done!

OMG, mochi, you are making me homesick!

I haven`t seen a papaya tree for almost 30 years! Its one of my favorite fruits.

You have soooooooo many beautiful orchid plants and I have been drooling over them!

I love, love orchids and I have plentiful of indoor orchids.
