Nice pics.

I like the tulips. What variety is it?

I have a load of purple flowering lavender trees in my garden. They grow like the devil.

Lovey does all the hard stuff, he also has a green thumb.

I don't know the names of my tulips, they came out of my mother-in-laws yard after she passed away like a lot of the others plants.

remmy, I'll show you all some roses later. Wink

I use to have more time in my yard before I met you all. Razz

Sunning display, Corona!

Beautiful pics Corona, the Snowball tree you have? Viburnum opulis? They look great if you keep them trimmed a bit after flowering, otherwise they tend to go straggly and bare in the centre.

Love the iris, and a great selection of Clematis.

^^^Thanks and good to see your post. Wink

You too JoeTam! Very Happy

I have to say that roses is not my specialty, I find them a challenge.

Here ya go.........................

This one would do better if moved, it looks pitiful. Sad

Your garden is lovely! I am envious. I used to have a beautiful garden when I lived in Seattle. Now I have dirt and pine/fir trees high in the mountains. The last of the snow on our property melted this week. I have a huge project to tackle if I ever get off the computer.

This is my Candy tuft!

Sweet Williams

This was a little packet of mixed seed and I think more will bloom later.

Periwinkle

Peony, it's a baby and only been in the ground for 1 year. 2 blooms! Very Happy

Purple Passion and it has fuzzy leaves like an African Violet.

Beautiful ,Corona. A lot of work.

I'm using bark to try and keep the weeds down as well. We have a lot of ground elder which is very difficult to eradicate.

I put some Sweet Williams in a planter with some ivy for my mum's patio.
Oooo "stinky willies" you sure about them ? she said.
seems the Scots still remember William Augustus son of George II, also know as the Butcher Cumberland after Culloden Rolling Eyes

Blanket flower

Some type of grass

O'stella Daylilies

Corra Bells

Balloon Flower

Orange Lilies

I have a huge Magnolia Tree and it sheds this time of year. They are in my flower beds and I should clean them out before I snap a pic. It is a beautiful tree but those leaves drive ya crazy.

Spendid stuff! Smile

you know your way around a plant. My competence goes as far as knowing what will compost and what has to be chippered or burnt.

you have a very clean and tidy kitchen from what i can see of it. I do envy you. I've forgotten what one looks like. My ruin of a garden is bedevilled by the dogs charging about in, and the dust blows in and sticks to things. meh. Who'd own a house?

Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 9:55 pm

Ooooooohhhh!!!!! Pretty colors!
Nice garden! by the way. jump_4_joy

Last time I tried a garden, I failed ... probably because the place I was at was all shady, and alkaline soil.

Did manage to grow some Rhododendrons, Ivy ( ground cover ), and Sumac
( makes wonderful decorative bushes, if taken care of and pruned. )
