I do love pink.

I think I got that from Maryott's, it must have been BOGO because I see I have two. Anyway, every time I turned around that thing was blooming! lol.

I didnt have luch with the echies here.The purples seem to overcome any disease or hibred fussiness
Sky series did well
Summer sky with lilies,Giraffe and Sophie







]This whole area has done well.I still struggle to have large swaths of bright blue ? name escapes me.





Asiatic lily original Love with echi Hot Summer background.


The nepeta Little Titch is a standout.Nice spreader and blooms when cooler
here it is with iris Twilight Delight






I also like the drumstick allium with Night Beacon DL asiatic Landini both hold up well in this mostly sun garden

Tiger lilies and the others did great. Criums, phlox and agastaches.

I like the nepeta Little Titch, looks good with the Iris and the pink lilies with the phlox and agastaches. My Cotton Candy did well for a first year plant. I pulled up all the Lilies because I found out they were not true to name. Here is a one that I missed.

What a shame they weren't. Aggravating, isn't it.

I was heart broken when they were rejected from the database.

I got all new ones for next year.

I don't blame you.

Jo Ann - love the blue iris photo and the Night Beacon: great matches and very good playmates.

Tee that Tiger lily is so wonderful. Hope you put it on the database!

Susan - that really is a shame when names aren't true (and sometimes when names are true but the lily looks nothing like the company photo). I've had far too many with the wrong name and/or wrong color.

Thanks. I think I did but best go check. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks! I am trying to be more careful who I buy from, and also I try to help others learn from my mistakes. I got mine from a coop.
If you know of any place selling lilies or anything that is not true to name, please let us know. We had a thread called 'Bad sources for perennials', where everyone told their horror stories. LOL.
Might need to start a new thread, anyone is welcome to do so.

Arlene, thanks for starting this forum. Very nice pictures in the previous post.
These Echinacea all started in a wild flower package that I sowed several years ago.

nice Mike

Wonderful photos, Mike. Love how happy Alma is and the daylilies are great, especially the very photogenic Adamas! They're all so welcome at this time of year.

Tee, is that pink bloom a Crinum? It sure is pretty!

I really like the allium and Night Beacon DL picture too, Jo Ann.

Mike, could the purple Aster be Purple Dome? I really like the pink and purple asters together, they look like some healthy plants! I love the Lighter Than Air DL. Is it a heavy bloomer?

So nice to see all these pretty flowers on a cold, snowy day.

Karen

Crocosmia Lucifer always looks good though a bit rambunctious in 2013.


One of our own hybridized daylilies bloomed a long time.


Nepeta Walker's Low went a big wild but it was very colorful.


Another of our own daylilies with yarrow.


Daylily, crocosmia and nepeta.


Lilies, daylilies, gaillardia.

Very pretty pictures everyone!! I would like to mention 'Lord Baltimore Hardy Hibiscus', my all time best performer!

The delphinium and lupines bloomed for a long time, I suppose since it was so cool. I cut them off after they were done and they had a second bloom in the fall which is never as tall as the first bloom.

We cross posted Susan. What a spectacular Hibiscus!!!

Susie, i just love the vertical repetition and colors in that second pic!
