It makes such a short enjoy time.I probably will make another choice.

Jo Anne, that was beautiful! I like your mixtures and the containers. You've given me some ideas for next year.

Be my guest.

Zinnias
I just put this together 2 weeks ago. The petunias had mildew bad so garbage they went.
Dragon wings opened

Spring, those are all beautiful. It is amazing how wonderful the 2 week planting is doing.
I love zinnias of all kinds, almost as much as I love the wonderful calla lilies.
Very nice.

Beautiful. I love that calla lily color.

The Calla lily bulbs came from costco this spring.

This is off topic but the nearest conversation.
Does anyone grow Alliums?
Spring ones?
I have Globemaster and Purple Sensation and want to know if these bulbs multiply?

Yes, both multiply by producing bulb/offsets.
Flowering Onion (Allium 'Purple Sensation')
Giant Allium (Allium giganteum 'Globemaster')

Looks like both of these need some update information in our database.

Thanks so much.
I will need to do some digging here next spring. Nothing worse than overplanting.

I know many of you are on to fall containers but most of mine are still going strong.




Last two look better in really life. Not a container but wanted to show this. It was just what I had left over out of the greenhouse this spring. After the plant sales and planting containers.

I think I am just longing for cooler weather. Also have been discussing leaf peeping trips, so mind is on fall.

Your summer planters are great and I bet your fall ones will be too if you ever have fall in Washington.

Oh they have fall for sure in Washington.

Spring those are so full of gorgeous color. Which fuchsia is that in the first photo? The leaf color is wonderful.

Thanks, That's fuchsia 'Autumnale'.
Yes we get fall. It's just starting to ge ta feeling of a new season, just a bit of chill in the air.

Beautiful pictures.

Is it always colored like that Spring? or does it change to that color in the fall?

The new growth is that color. Best fuchsia ever in my experience!! Those are cuttings that i took last fall for this year.

With foliage like that, it doesn't even need blooms.

I'm a foliage nut!

It really helps to keep foliage in mind when we plant our containers. You do such a great job of that.
