I asked for this forum so here are a few pictures. [

I guess I put these the wrong place....

What a great start! Lovely photos, Hetty and Paul.

The color combination on that orchid is striking, Hetty. Almost alarming, in fact.

No worries, Paul. But you might want to start a new thread every time you have something new to post so it doesn't get so cluttered.

Hetty: That is one gorgeous Cattleya! Does it have any fragrance?

Paul: Wow, beautiful garden photo's! I love them all but must ask, what is the plant in the 3rd photo down and also is that Begonia blooms I see growing in with the Coleus and Asparagus Fern in the next to last picture? Really beautiful!

I'm sometimes a slow learner but will start a new thread next time. Lin...... The third picture is a rose arbor at a friends but I'm not certain what the rose is. I think you might have meant the the 4th picture and it is Phlomis Tuberosa which is sometimes called Jerusalem Sage.

Thanks, Paul! I was going to ask about that one! Lovely and striking!

I kinda like having the pictures from one person's garden in one thread - it makes it like taking a garden tour over time. Although I can see how a thread could get huge over time.

Well, if the thread got too big, the person could always start "Part 2."
I agree, it's very much like taking a garden tour over time. Kind of a nice idea!
