What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)? - Page 18

saltydad · 07-14-2009, 06:19 PM

Definitely perennial for me here in zone 7, and I have them in a section of the yard that gets sun until around 3 PM. They are beautiful, aren't they? I'm a sucker for all kinds of lilies. Unfortunately, so are the rabbits. :-(
They are in a bed that has turned 'orange'. Blooming now are the remnants of orange hot pokers, tiger lilies, double tiger lilies, orange crocosmia and the blackberry lily. I'll see if I can get a pic to post. BTW, yours are gorgeous!

Yours are totally gorgeous!

I don't know what color mine will be. Someone gave me the seeds in a trade from another forum. A whole lot of them. The seeds are very ornamental on the plants too, and look like blackberries. Do you collect seed from your plants?

Great to hear they are perennial. I was told they would be here also, but wanted a second opinion. I just love the leaves. I'll be sure to post pics of my blooms next year...

Now that the weather has turned hot, dry and humid (contradiction in terms methinks) the gingers are loving it and the torch gingers are full of flowers.

The Hollyberry Lady · 07-18-2009, 02:55 PM

Beautiful!

I was over visiting a friend yesterday who has the most amazing garden. He lives in Washington, DC, and his backyard is a narrow steep hill. Yet in spite of this he has a beautiful garden. I took a few shots and they are in my Gallery labeled "Visit to John Boggan's Garden". Enjoy.

Updated my Gallery with new bloomers, etc., such as my Chawan Basu water lotus

Once the petals fell, here's the seed pod.

NEED SOME HELP

Here are 3 different hardy hibiscus plants blooming today in my yard. All are 'red', although A and C have more 'fuchsia'. None has an ID. Note the different petal arrangement. Flowers A and C both have petals that tend to be separately displayed, while B tends to have overlapping petals.The distinguishing characteristic is the color of the stigma....yellow in C, red in A. Can anyone help me in ID'ing these hardy hibiscus? C reminds me of Texas Star, but it has a huge flower, up to a foot wide. I appreciate any help here. (Note- if desired I can also post pics of the leaf for each.)

Hibiscus A

Hibiscus B

Hibiscus C

The Hollyberry Lady · 08-04-2009, 05:35 PM

Gorgeous!

CValentine · 08-04-2009, 06:18 PM

Looks like(A & C) are 'Disco Belle Red' hibiscus to me Howard!
B looks like a tropical Red Hibiscus with the ridged-edged leaves.

BEA-utiful!!!

~CHeryl

CValentine · 08-05-2009, 09:36 AM

A 'Red Wave' variegated hibiscus!!

Maybe a Cairo Red on B Howard?

White Sapote 'Sue Bell' !

Sixwing · 08-14-2009, 12:51 PM

Serrano peppers!
Pretty little nodding flowers. They look shy, almost.
Also, Portulaca. I love the stuff. It does not love my balcony, but at least it's still trying, unlike the sorry excuse for globe basil.
Lemon-lime basil is also blooming, much to my dismay. All my efforts to keep it cut back (yum) just make it throw more flower heads.
