Colors from your garden - a colorful thread
- Thread starter saiias
- Start date
we just tuck the potted Carmine Jewel cherries, and currants up against the back of the house for wind protection then put them back in the full sun around Maysaiias said:
the NorthStar and EvansBali semi-dwarf trees are in ground and no extra winter protection
here's a couple more flower pics...
More Colors as things have warmed up.
Daylily 'Strawberry Candy'
more Lilies (I forgot their names)
another "giant" lily, I think this one is called 'Big Brother'
These "giant" hybrid lilies get TALL, excellent for the back of a flowerbed, and the blooms are bigger than your face
Honeybee approaching a C. pubescens flower
this one has some DARK foliage, and solid Purple flowers
and some more daylily pics;
Plenty more daylillies, a few more lillies and lots of various Pubescens flower pics too, I just need to sort through them to attempt to make sure i am not sharing the same 'best' pics.
hope you all are having a wonderful week, and your gardens are lighting up with their spectacular silent fireworks displays !
Great Pics!
Hibiscus moscheutos got it's first bloom of the year, and looks as though it should have dozens more soon
a Daylily Double-bloom (Hemerocallis 'Big Kiss')

Nice colorful tree behind my house, do not know what it is but it may have to go because its too close to the building/roof. I may try to clone a couple of branches before I whack it.
A couple more plants in the back yard, again I have no idea what they are.

1st pic...
I have a smaller tree of the same,
Might have a couple sprouts of the last pic as well (don't recall what they are either :thinkingface: )
I try to pull out whatever i didn't plant in the garden,
and let the non gardened parts that get back closer to the train property naturalize.
But their are some that turn into potentially huge trees where they are not supposed to be.
If you find out what that tree in the first pic is..Spamease, please include the name in your description of it

Number 1 is Golden Shower, I believe
Number 2 is Bougainvillea
Number 3 is.........on the tip of my tongue!
[EDIT}: I was thinking lantana, but I'm not certain. The flower looks a lot like butterfly weed, but has the wrong foliage.
