wild violets growing in the front acre

I'm not sure what this is, but it's pretty, grows in my ditch that runs along side of the driveway

ragged mums from last year, i've got to transplant them, they aren't happy (as you can tell)

the fruit trees are full, even the apple and I thought it wouldn't bloom because the other one was destroyed by the tornado.  Don't apple trees need at least 2 to pollinate?

not exactly sure what this is but I think I planted one little flower in this pot last year and it didn't do well.  But this year it's been beautifully pink until it got into the 90's for weeks at a time.

they don't barb.  but if you have an established and healthy clump, they will bloom one right after the other for a long time... i'm hopeful.

sheri, if you want one, i have one i can send you.  it is small and won't bloom for a year or so, but it is easy to get out. they bloom best when they are crowded, and this one is not as crowded (and easier to get out) as the others.

sheri, they bloom when they want to, when it has been really hot, then cools a bit and is rainy.  i don't think i'm explaining that well.  but think about hurricane weather.  cooler nights, lots of rain, following a real hot spell.  so, i can't say if they bloomed before, but if they did, that would be why.  it's a weather thing.  either way, i think mine are prettier this year than last, i'm very happy with them!

a clearance plant from lowe's.  looks like a cross between some kind of ginger or lily and bird of paradise.  it is very pretty and colorful until the blooms start to fade. i don't know where i'm planting it - yet. 2 different shots of it as well.

well, all the hanging baskets (the petunias, the begonias, and i have a million bells that is hanging in there but doesn't have a bloom) are $1 discounts from various stores.  as you can tell, the begonia is pretty happy.  and i don't do anything to it.  i will be splitting it before too long so i can share with kate.

i'm going to hope i get a better picture of the bloom on the one i don't know what is.  i'd like to identify it.  it really does remind me of a miniature bird of paradise.  do they have such a thing???

please do.  this one is close to a bop, even in color (it fades as the bloom ages) but it so small!

today's blooms...  all are mine but the red rose.  that was at the mexican restaurant tonight.

mine are not knock outs, (as least i don't think so) but they sure are putting on a show.  here is the coral colored one (or maybe it's salmon colored?) full bloom with a bud coming behind.  i just wish the camera would do the color justice.  it isn't pink, red, or orange.  it really is coral or salmon.

I don't think they are knock outs.  Knock outs don't have the full petal formation and they're a lot more flimsy.

not to mention, knock outs are much more expensive :BigGrin: all my roses were clearance from either walmart, lowe's, or home depot.  knock outs rarely go on clearance.

didn't know that Jiffy.  Years ago I had tea roses and was always spraying for black spot or some type of bug or mite.  When we moved from that house I didn't make another rose garden and didn't have them again until a few years ago when I heard that knock out roses are pretty much problem free.  So far they have been but I heard on Make it Grow that they are now having some sort of issue and the only remedy it is to dig them up if they get infected.  So far so good with mine.

I cut the rose bushes back a few weeks ago and they have come out in full bloom.  Our azaleas are blooming again, the butterfly bush, zinnias and cosmos are still blooming, it's like spring.  I keep wanting to put out pansys but the spring and summer flowers still look great.
