I really love fushia... beautiful pics

 

[Maggie]

Thanks Kya.

Beautiful blooms! My aunt had fushia when I was a little girl. I think it is a interesting plant.

 

[Dor]

All your blooms are always so pretty Maggie but I just love the fuschia. I will have to grow some next year.

 

[Maggie]

Thanks richnkim and Dor, the fuschia is suppose to be a perennial but I'm afraid to plant it in the ground because I would sure hate to lose it after 3 years. I overwinter it on my enclosed back deck thru the winter.

Maggie, isn't picture #4 cleome, or spider flower rather than spider lily? It's beautiful, and reminds me I need to plant it again.

 

[Dor]

I have the cleome seeds also Blue and Maggie. I never seem to get around to planting them but since I have a long growing season I can still plant them this year. They are really pretty. My sisters Godmother always had lots of them in her yard.

Lovely As ALWAYS. TFS

Yes your right Blue it is a cleome but we always called them spider lily.

 

[Dor]

In the country we called them spider flowers. They are so pretty Maggie.

See, it's easy to get confused with the regional differences in common names. What I have always called a spider lily is Lycoris radiata. Some folks call it a Surprise lily, or Red spider lily.

There is also Hymenocallis occidentalis , which is also called a spider lily, and is lovely as well.



Must get a bigger yard...

My Angel Trumpets have started blooming. I took these pictures on the day the blooms opened and they are white and yellow but as they aged they turned a deep yellow. Really pretty. There are a lot of pods yet to open and I'm hoping to get a lot of blooms at one time. My pink one and white one doesn't have any pods on them.
Sweet Autumn Clematis. They are blooming a month early. All my flowers (perennials) bloomed around a month early and they are fadeing out now and it just august. I couldn't get my crepe mytrle picture to post. I'm really having trouble posting pictures for some reason.

Just took a stroll through this lovely garden of flowers. Sure is refreshing since I barely had anything this year. Just too dry and I haven't been able to water. We're still having near 100F temps almost every day and it's been going on since June. I won't say I'm wishing for winter but it's been our record hot year even for down here. Thanks for the awesomely colorful photos!!

As usualy they are all spectacular. Someone told me once that cleome were called cat's whiskers so I've been calling them that for years. I always thought spider lilies were Lycoris radiata and started from bulbs.

 

[Maggie]

Blue and Bernie you are so right and I was wrong. It's like Dor said we call them spider flowers. I don't know what I was thinking when I called them spider lilies. Sorry about that.

I have some more flowers.

Cardinal Vine
Coneflower - I finally got around planting it today.
