New blooms in my garden

[Maggie]

Look what I had blooming when I got up this morning. I just hope my pink, yellow and white ones will bloom.

That is just gorgeous! Love the ruffles and the colors.

Gosh your gardens are lovely! I should see if the vitex is viable in my zone five. I never see it in the nurseries so it problably isn't sure is beautiful. TFS

Beautiful gardens.
I would love to try some seeds, thanks for the offer

Clerodendrum thomasiae. It's in the verbenaceae family and also known as the glory bower. I thought it was a climbing bleeding heart but it's a bleeding heart vine and different from the climbing bleeding heart. Does that make sense to anyone. When I got it I thought they were the same thing until I looked it up on the web and found that they were different plants. It has just started blooming.

My next door neighbor has that vine Maggie and it is so pretty. She gave me a cutting but it didn't make it. I am hoping I can find one at the one end of season clearance at my favorite nursery. I am glad to know the name as she called it something else(Hot Lips) and another friend called her just Bleeding heart.

I'll keep checking for seed pods Mainey and when or if I have some I will send them.

I'm going to try and root some and if they root I can send you some if you want them. I like to try rooting new plants. New to me that is. My sister want some so I'm going to try.

I would love some Maggie. Thank you very much.

OK I'll make some cuttings tomorrow and see what I come up with. I'll keep you informed on the progess if there is any.

That is beautiful Maggie!!

 

[Maggie]

Cannas, aster, candy lilies, hibiscus and glads.

 

[Bernie]

Maggie it just keeps getting better. They are so very lovely.

I've grown glads before but this is the first time I've grown them here were we have such high winds. I can't remember how sturdy the stems are. Do you think I will need to stake them? I have so many things staked in my garden it would be nice not to have to stake something.

 

[Maggie]

We are having a lot of high winds this year to and even though you can't see them I have the wire stakes on mine. I always have to stake them. I think you really need to stake them. For some reason the color on these are not true. They are a deep wine which I'm not particularly fond of. Oh well A flower is a flower tho. so I accept them.

 

[myfedora]

Very nice Maggie!

 

[Maggie]

Can someone tell me the name of this flower.

 

[Maggie]

Balloon flowers, butterfly weed from the seed that (I think) it was Treva sent me. Clematis, butterfly on a tickseed and Lime Light hydrangea.

 

[Maggie]

The last pictures for tonight. Celosies, hen & chick bloom (first time they have bloomed for me), monkey faces, early mums and tickseed with butterfly and bee.

 

[Bernie]

Thanks Maggie I will stake mine as well. I can hardly wait they are all ready to bloom. I don't know why I haven't grown them in ten years. I'll have to dig them up and store them over the winter but they are worth the effort.

Gosh your garden never stops rewarding you for all your hard work. Your pictures make me think of a catalog each one more beautiful then the next.

It has been 100* for days and they say it will be for the next week. It only cools down for a few hours in the wee hours of the morning so everything in my garden is stressed and just hanging on for dear life. My datura blooms are only lasting one day. My stargazer lilies buds are all sunburned so are a lot of my plants. Poor things not a lot I can do about it but the lily is going to be moved so it gets some mid day shade next year.
