    Never really liked Petunias before, but the vivid red of these caught my eye :)

    I rescued this and another baby coneflower (the one in the background) from being thrown away. They were just stems (or more likely rolled up leaves that looked like stems) when I got em, and now theyve got leaves and little flowers! See what a little love can do? ;)

    Wow Bip... you sure have been busy... and the blooms are doing their best to keep up with you!
    :-D
    I'm particularly fond of lilies! Mine are pretty much done blooming, so I was so happy to see the one's that are showing off for you! Very pretty indeed.

    Lovely flowers Bip. My lolipop and another pink lily are done, at least for now. My daylilies are just beginning to bloom; and my tiger lilies are full of buds. My trumpet vine began blooming this week too. :stew1:

    Morning Bip, Your flowers are very pretty. I grow lots of petunias. they aren't my favorites either. they are a lot of work, pinching, pruning, removing seed pods and spent flowers. They leave the fingernails, especially the thumb, very dirty. this year I used a pair of shears and flat topped them when they started getting leggy. It saved a lot of time. I did the same to my lobelia, just to get rid of the weedy look they were developing in the hanging baskets, and they came back nice and bushy.
    Your Mons Lisa lilies are just beautiful.

    Everything looks great in your garden. I like the white coneflower - may have to look for one for my garden.

    Looks great!! I had to laugh at your comment about petunias :D I used to feel the same way but there are so many different ones out there now. I bought a "Black Velvet" petunia yesterday. It is awesome ;)
