I wish I could just upload all my photos at once.😔














































I don't have the time or patience to do more.😂

Beautiful!

Come on guys/gals share some of your beauties.

Wow Lisa! You're a tough act to follow! Here are a few:

Penstemon mensarum

Eriogonum umbellatum 'Kannah Creek'

Lupine and Centaurea montana

Echium amoenum, Stachys byzantina, Lupine, Penstemon mensarum and more Lupine.

Penstemon virgatus 'Blue Buckle' @ishareflowers

Verbascum 'Southern Charm'

Salvia pratense (maybe)

Mirabilis multiflora

Any guesses?

Love that Mirabilis! Do you bring it in during the winter?

Here are some of mine

No need, lol. Its grows native a hundred fiftyish miles south of us and is winter-hardy here (Zone 4b/5a). Given dry/well-drained winter conditions, it might go full Zone 4. High Country Gardens seems to think so: https://www.highcountrygardens...

I do sometimes dig M. jalapa in the fall and put the roots in the basement for the winter. (They overwinter outside at our friend's house [15-20 miles north of us], next to the foundation on the south-facing exposure; but we don't have an exposure like that ourselves.) This year, just to see what happens, I dug the M. longiflora and stashed them in the basement.

Wow Thomas Jones! What a beautiful space! I especially like this one:

It makes joining your cuttings swap even more tempting

I was just scrolling through my 2020 photos of which there are almost three thousand, and realized I've taken almost no plant photos this year! They are almost entirely of animals... mostly insects and birds in the garden. I guess I've only been taking plant photos if it's something I'm trying to identify, or if it's a new plant and I want to add some images of it to the plant database here. I do have a few though.

Monarch on New-England Aster


Kankakee Mallow


This is the "Aster NOID likely drummond's" I have listed in the swap. The flowers are so delicate and pretty in the fall.


This is a very pretty tiny geranium that I'm still not sure on the ID. I have just a few seeds I could list, but I was going to go out and see if it had any more I missed. I had this labeled as "wild petunia" and I likely got the seed in one of these swaps in 2016-2017. I put photos of it on the plant id forum and everyone thinks it is a wild geranium, but I'm still not sure which one. Hopefully it comes back next year. Unfortunately I think I planted it on an ant hill!

You all sure do have some beautiful eye candy!

Lisa, I'm wondering what the name of your first beauty is?


I have a few flower photos to share...

Salvia Coral Nymph was looking gorgeous all summer through fall and now I'm regretting not getting a picture before the freeze hit.


Mealy Cup Sage, 'Henry Duelberg' and Agrimony


Zinnia elegans mix


Turk's Cap


This is just one plant of the zinnia mix, a tall and pretty red



Shirley Poppy


Gaillardia pulchella


Ice Queen zinnia


And some edible eye candy

Purple Ruffles Basil


Amethyst Basil


Holy Basil



Kajari Melon



Peppers

Thomas, what is that very first pink one you posted?

Michelle, I have got to have some of that Mirabilis!

You all have such beautiful flowers!

Beautiful photos !

Wildflowers, my first photo is crocosmian Emily mckenzie (that's not the correct spelling).
