I love it when people go amok with their cameras! You've got very nice blooms there, and I adore each and every one of them. Lilies are my favourite. Your coleus are very nice.
...well, luky for us, I say! I like all the colour and the variety. You have a nice T & V combination and the Coleus selection really is attractive. The Scabiosa is one of my all-time favourites. Thanks so much for going snap-happy today...I love it when you go snap-happy.
You could have snapped even more with your camera and I certainly wouldn't have minded. :-D I love seeing what's in bloom in others gardens and you have so many beautiful flowers for me to drool over. I love the white lily with the yellow centre. I'm thinking of getting rid of all my lilies, even although I love them, as they are under attack from the dreaded Red Lily Beetle. Do you have any trouble with them at all? Those purple petunias you have Gardengirl are they the scented ones? I think they are gorgeous. I also really like your arrangement of coleus. I can't seem to grow them up here outdoors - maybe it's just too wet for them. :-?
Thanks for the nice comments. The lillies do come under attack from the dreaded LB Eileen but I love them so much I am prepared to do a daily watch just to catch the little b....rs The purple petunia certainly is a scented one. It filled my greenhouse with the most beautiful scent before I put it out.
Your containers are beautiful, lush and full. You're doing a great job. We finally got some rain here, so I'm not struggling to keep things alive.
You can go snap happy anytime you want! I certainly have nothing but time! Loved all of them. Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful!
I love all those colors. Just a side note: not sure what your winters are like but you can bring those coleus in the house during the cold season months. Even cut some stems, let them reroot in water or soil and you'll have yourself a whole new plant. This plant is one of my favs. though I don't have the colors that you show. Yours are very pretty. Also your petunia's ,lillies, clematis.....all are pretty.
I love it when members go snap happy! What a wonderful bunch of blooms you have there Gardengirl. Those Foxgloves are my favorite
Yes Petunia, I accidentally broke a piece of one of them and stuck it in some compost and it has rooted. I think I might take a few more cuttings to overwinter indoors. Thanks for the nice comments everyone
Yes stratsmom I love the sweet peas and I thought the 'stars & stripes' variety would appeal to my friends across the pond
