| terriculture london (UK) August 4, 2007 | Join me in sharing your garden plants and flowers! What did you have blooming in your garden last year? Here are some of my flowers that I have not cut for flowers arrangements! Some garden flower stems are too flimsy to use with floral foam and sometimes they just look so happy where they I can't bring myself to cut them off! I have quite a few containers, including a couple of old chimney pots which are empty,but come in handy to display whatever is looking good at the time. This message was edited Jan 8, 2008 12:38 PM eddited to invite you to show your flowers!!!!!! This message was edited Jan 8, 2008 12:39 PM

| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b August 5, 2007 | Lovely Terri, did you plant some of them from seeds? |
| terriculture london (UK) August 5, 2007 | I have planted quite a few bulbs, perrenials,which I split every couple of years,and seeds. The morning glory is from seeds I germinated also sweet peas, wallflowers, forgetmenots,marigolds,rose campion, cosmos,sunflowers. I didn't have much room for flower seeds, my veg took up most of the space this year!

| reboobala Inverness, CA Zone 10a August 6, 2007 | This has been the only bloom on this hydrangea this year. It's SO pretty! :)rebecca
|
| reboobala Inverness, CA Zone 10a August 6, 2007 | We have a bijillion of these!! They are great in arrangements. :)r
|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b August 6, 2007 | Beautiful blue on your hydrangea. The only time I get that blue is when I first bring it home from the garden center. The next year always bring pink hydrangeas, but then I never amend the soil ph, so I can't complain. |
| terriculture london (UK) August 6, 2007 | reboobala, Thanks for showing you blue Hydrangea it's stunning. I don't have the right soil either Karma! Think I might get one to grow in a big pot next year,they look lovely in arrangements. |

| terriculture london (UK) August 24, 2007 | Hi Karma, Thanks for showing me some of your flower's. I don't know 'Pentas' is it native to your area? I don't think I have ever seen it!. Is it from a bulb? I thought this thread would encourage people to show their flower's that they didn't want to cut for arrangement's! I know we have some Dahlia and Canna grower's here and it would be lovely to see their flower's. Lovely little statue you have there! It's nice to see your garden feature's. Thankyou for sharing! |

| terriculture london (UK) September 8, 2007 | I just look at things and say what I see!

| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b October 21, 2007 | I have no idea what that is, but it's cool looking. Perfect for a winter arrangement. |
| terriculture london (UK) October 22, 2007 | Are you drying any flowers? I have chinese lantern's hanging up in the greenhouse at the moment.
|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b October 22, 2007 | I don't have any dried flowers. Bad feng shui. Just kidding. . .I don't practice it. Although, I refuse to have my front door align with my back door. Anyway, I love your chinese lanterns. I bought a pack of seeds to try and grow it. Did you grow yours from seed? If so, how easy is it to germinate? |
| terriculture london (UK) October 22, 2007 | Easy peesy to germinate, and once established, they spread everywhere, so beware! Fushia's still flowering.
|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b October 22, 2007 | Pretty fushia, I have to get that plant. |
| terriculture london (UK) October 23, 2007 | My nasturtiun leaves have gone crazy!

| terriculture london (UK) October 24, 2007 | It's climbing nastutiun (sp?) They seed themselves and come back every year, flowering at this time which is nice because the Jasmine over the arch has more or less stopped flowering now. Here's a couple of winter hanging baskets I made with Hebe,Heathers, winter pansies and Ivy,
|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b October 25, 2007 | Those are some GORGEOUS containers. I can see the floral arrangement in it too. My fave is the hebe. . .i have not seen it ever before. Beautiful flowers. . .beautifully put together. They will last through the winter? And then what will happen when it gets warmer? Sorry, newbie question. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm in love with those. |
| terriculture london (UK) November 2, 2007 | Hi Karma! I love Hebes, they are evergreen and they flower! The basket will last all year round. In the early summer I will take the hebes, heathers,and winter pansies out and put them in the garden to carry on with their flowering days! I will keep the evergreen Ivy in the basket and add some summer plants. Hebes do get big and are a shrub for the garden, but if you buy baby plants and have them in your hanging baskets or window boxes for the winter, they don't grow much at this time of year. I made 10 0f these for a local pub!

|
| terriculture london (UK) January 8, 2008 | Happy New Year to everyone! It's freezing cold and rainy here today. I'm taking a look back at my flowers from last year, remembering warmer sunny days, when the perfume was everywhere in the garden! Join me and let's see what we grew, or add something you can recommend to grow for cutting! A new flower bed I designed using evergreens and winter pansies, they flowered all year!
|

| diggerette Brooklyn, NY Zone 7a January 8, 2008 | Very pretty! |
| starlight1153 Seale, AL Zone 8b January 9, 2008 | I second that!!! What ya all got in there? |
| terriculture london (UK) January 11, 2008 | Thanks Adele and Star, I planted all evergreens, heathers, hebes, winter pansies and the plant in the centre, can't remember the name of it but something like a Yukka maybe! Have you got any flower pictures from last year? Poppies in late spring
|
| terriculture london (UK) January 11, 2008 | late spring flowers
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 11, 2008 | Tada! I've found you! ((((((Terri)))))))) There isn't much going on here as far as outdoor gardening, the garden is fast asleep during the winter. In my makeshift gh, however, my cuttings are putting out flower. The BSV. Kim
|
| terriculture london (UK) January 11, 2008 | popies and roses
|
| terriculture london (UK) January 11, 2008 | Hi Kim, so glad you found me!!! That is a pretty flower, what is BSV? I know what you mean about the garden mine is fast asleep too! Quite bare really....sad... I just thought it might be nice to remember what colour we HAD last year! |
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 11, 2008 | I can relate to that Terri, your poppy is lovely. The Blue Sky Vine, remember? A relentless vine which goes on and flower while being rooted. I've noticed you've had Chinese lantern in your garden, I've alway wanted to plant them, which I'll next spring. I've got some seed. How is their culture? Kim Here is a tropical Hibiscus that's blooming while being kept indoor.
|
| terriculture london (UK) January 11, 2008 | Oh yes, of course, blue sky vine! amaising how it's flowering being rooted. I'm sure you'll get the chinese lantern to germinate, no problem when the weather warms up. They are very invasive, so be careful where you plant them or in a few years they will be everywhere! I love hibiscus, that one is a beauty. This is my one and only hardy hibiscus.
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 11, 2008 | I like that one, I don't know how truth is the color via our computer's screen. From here it appears orchid-pink. |
| terriculture london (UK) January 11, 2008 | Orchid pink, that is a good description, I guess it is. I don't mean to be rude Kim, but I must go to bed! Had a busy week and it's 2.20am here! Please come back again won't you? I know you have a fabulous garden!!! Aquillega or old ladies bonnets as we say!
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 11, 2008 | Rest well, Terri, catch up with you later. ((((Hugs)))))))) Kim |

| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 12, 2008 | Lovely, lovely Terri, The above 'grassy-like' foliage with the flower bud looks like my 'Bottlebrush' and the blooms resembles a test-tube brush, hence the common name. :-) I love your garden. :-) Hi Lana, where is Ella? hope everyone is doing well. Kim |
| terriculture london (UK) January 12, 2008 | Hi Kim, Chrissy on the Ausie forum told me it was called grenvilla or something like that! It had pinky orange blooms which were very pretty. I love YOUR garden! we have mutual love and respect for each other's gardens. Please share yours with me! |
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 12, 2008 | I know you'd enjoy this basket. I bought the flower from flat, and made into my own basket each spring. Petunias hanging basket.
|
| terriculture london (UK) January 12, 2008 | Oh that is pretty! White petunias and are the red surfinas? |
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 12, 2008 | I've no slightest idea? If I'm not mistaken, common name trailing petite petunias? I think I've found those at local Walmart. Kim |
| terriculture london (UK) January 12, 2008 | I made 8 of these baskets for a local pub, using some petunias. We call the petite petunias surfina!! Daughter is nagging to use the computer, back in a while! lol
|
| terriculture london (UK) January 12, 2008 | The red and white combination in your basket is really eyecatching. I bet it would jump at you when viewing it from anywhere in the garden. Primroses.

| terriculture london (UK) January 14, 2008 | Hi Kim, thanks! It's dark here by the time I get home from work, I haven't seen my garden for a while! Do you grow any scented flower's that are good for cutting? |
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 14, 2008 | I've lots of annual/perennials seeds that I planned to put out this spring. I'll keep you posted on those. As far as last season, ummmm I've some. But I've not focused on cut-flowers other than some gladiola. These Armandii Clematis arbor is very fragrant when in blooms during early spring.
|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b January 14, 2008 | Terri and Kim, BOTH of your gardens are BEAUTIFUL. Now I would like some help with mine please! I love both hanging baskets! Are petite petunias the same as wave petunias? Terri, we have solidago growing wild along the roads here. |
| terriculture london (UK) January 18, 2008 | Thanks Karma! Solidago is quite expensive at the florists here! I'm not sure what you mean by wave petunias! Maybe Kim will know. Phlox smell lovely! and are good for cutting.
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b January 18, 2008 | Hi Lana, and Terri, I don't know how I've missed your question earlier. But this is what DG's pf has to say about the smaller variety of petunia that I've seen. They're much smaller bloom, and great for baskets. [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] |
| terriculture london (UK) March 26, 2008 | Hi everyone, Now that winter is over and spring is ALMOST here! lets see your garden pictures from your part of the world. The garden is still a mess, but the forget me nots are back!
|
| terriculture london (UK) March 26, 2008 | Wall flowers, sorry it wasn't very bright outside!
|
| terriculture london (UK) March 26, 2008 | Aquillegia and Day lillies, making some growth.

|
| terriculture london (UK) March 26, 2008 | Veronica........ not much happening here yet! Whats your garden like at the moment?
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b March 26, 2008 | Hi Terri, This is my veronica I think....got some English Ivy there for greenery in the winter....but those may take over the bed in the near future.... It's good to see your post, Terri. Hope you and yours are doing well. Kim
|
| terriculture london (UK) March 26, 2008 | Hi Kim! Thankyou, we are all well ,nice to see you too, hope you are keeping well. I don't have much Ivy here, just some I keep in pots. What have you got flowering now? I'm sure your garden is way ahead of mine with new growth and flowering plants. My Forsythia is covered with flowers. I always think that it's strange the way it flowers first then produces the leaves!
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b March 26, 2008 | Yes our season is a little ahead of yours, it seems. Our forsythia blooms are nearly spent. Like these Winter Jasmine, which is in the same family of the former, but a different genus? :-) I love both of those blooms. The gold, crisp yellow is shouting out ...Spring is near. In fact the temp. is our right hot today, as if spring has skipped us and it went directly into summer weather. Not to mention we just have had a light frost a few days ago. Kim
|
| terriculture london (UK) March 27, 2008 | It was another dull day here Kim, hardly any sunshine! wish it would warm up soon. Love the winter Jasmine. I found a couple of things flowering, but the photo's are dark again! Hellebore

|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b March 27, 2008 | Terri, your veronica, is that the tall spiky ones you've used in your arrangements? I have some seeds that I wintersowed, but they haven't showed up. The lid had blown off and I never replaced it. Wonder if it's too late to plastic wrap it. I could sow them again. I love your hellebore. Ever used it as a cut flower? My garden is not even a year old yet so I haven't much to show. Everything is in mostly pots and milk jugs (LOL). Just some ordinary roses, pansies, and few annuals I planted. My first Pat Austin bloom this year.

|
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b March 27, 2008 | Assorted seedlings. The purple is amaranthus love lies bleeding. Look how they've grown. . .if you remember when I posted them back when they were newborns.
|
| terriculture london (UK) March 27, 2008 | Hi Karma, Thanks for posting your pics! Your garden is way ahead of mine for colour. Lovely to see it. The roses are beautiful, mine don't even have buds yet! Wow your vibernum looks special, bet you won't be cutting that LoL! Everything is looking healthy and will soon fill out. Yes the veronica is the purple spikes which flowers July and August. It won't do any harm to sow seeds again, they will germinate quicker now. I haven't tried the Hellebore for cut flowers, might give it the SNIP tomorrow!! Veronica in flower.....
|
| Lily_love Central, AL Zone 7b March 27, 2008 | Hi Terri, is that 'May Night' veronica? I can see how lovely that is. Hello Lana, you've a good start on the season. I can't believe that winter is behind us. All in a sudden it's hot again. Perennual muscari, or 'grape hyacinch' in my bulbs garden. Kim
|
| terriculture london (UK) March 27, 2008 | Hi kim, I don't know the exact name of it! Nice to have a big planting area for your bulbs, they look lovely so many all together. I used to have grape hyacinth but they disappeared one year!! Hope we get a bit of sunshine tomorrow. |
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b March 28, 2008 | Terri, what's the pinkish flowers behind veronica. . .phlox? Love the cottage feel to your garden. Hi Kim, I'm so glad spring is here as well. |
| terriculture london (UK) March 28, 2008 | Oh Hi Karma, didn't see you there! It's called Red valerian, comes back every year and it spreads! Glad you like the cottage feel, organised chaos! my neighbours garden is very tidy and ordered in rows, not my style! Have you planted out any of your seedlings yet? |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b March 30, 2008 | Oh, I have so much blooming right now. Of course, most of it is what was already here, but it is new to me :^) Some I actually overwintered and managed not to kill. They are blooming!!! Will take pics tomorrow. I LOVE SPRING (well, what would normally be spring, but like Lily said, it skipped straight to summer). |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a March 31, 2008 | Terri, I have that pinkish stuff and always called it Jupiter's Beard and I love it in arrangements, lasts forever. [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] Your cottage garden is lovely as I imagined, feeling a big need to go and get more stuff this year! Not much in bloom here except my helleborus, will try to get a pic when the rain stops, if it ever stops? Karma, looks like you have a jump on the season as well. Lovely beginnings, can't wait to see more. |
| terriculture london (UK) March 31, 2008 | Hi Traci, I'm looking forward to seeing what you have flowering in your garden! Candee, Thanks for the link. Funny I haven't heard of Jupiter's Beard, sounds better than Red Valerian when it's not red but pink!!! Keep your garden pics coming everyone! I'm still waiting for some more colour to burst open here in sunny London(joke)! it was nice today though. |
| terriculture london (UK) April 1, 2008 | I'm clearing this flowerbed today!
|
| terriculture london (UK) April 1, 2008 | The forget me nots are back!!!!!!!
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | Terri, ditto on what Karma said about the cottage feel. Somehow, that is exactly how I imagined your garden would grow and I LOVE IT! Karma, congrats on the seedlings. I LOVE the Pat Austin and had to go look them up. They too have a cottage look to them. Hmmm....how many plants in pots can one person move?!? Ok, here are some of mine. PLEASE note, I have NO idea what most are, but they are lovely none the wiser. First up, my lantana I kept as a house plant is very happy to be in the full sun outside and is doing great. Horray, first spring playing with plants and I made something bloom. There is hope for me yet!!
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | The other one I managed to overwinter is this NOID hibiscus I bought last summer. She starts out with a lovely peach tipped color. Some of the blooms have stayed that way and others have turned this dark yellow. I love the color.
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | I couldn't resist buying this rose bush a week ago. The fragrance is wonderful and the picture is not worthy of her true color. There are purples to yellows to light and hot pinks, always changing everyday. I forgot her name, however and will have to find the marker for it.
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | Last one, as I have to get back to bed (snuck out to catch up a bit). More tomorrow!! My lenten rose has SEEDS!! This is the same flower I posted a picture of about a month ago. I read somewhere, can't remember where, that you can float these in a bowl and they will last up to THREE weeks!! The petals are so thick, they are almost like leaves. So, Terri, get out those snippers!!
|
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 2, 2008 | Beautiful Traci. Never heard that of the lenten rose, but mine are the only things blooming right now so may try floating a few when I get home today. I love your rose, I've never had any luck with roses so will just sit back and enjoy yours. Do you leave your hibiscus out all year down there? I really like the yellow it has a nice softness to it. I love the cottage look at everyone else's homes but when I had it at mine it just looked too wild, now having seen yours Terri, perhaps if I do a bit more weeding I could achieve a better look. Your's looks very lucious. |
| karmaplace New Orleans, LA Zone 8b April 2, 2008 | Beautiful Traci. That rose and hibiscus are gorgeous! Thanks for letting us take a look into your garden. More please! I just found out lenten rose is a hellabore! And about the pots. . .mine seem to be multiplying. . .I know I will eventually move, but I can't help myself. Candee, do you have any signs of spring yet? Terri, my veronica is showing some signs of germination! I hope it's the same as yours. . .I got them in a trade labeled veronica speedwell. Been raining the last few days, I want to go out and take pictures. Some of my tropicals are starting to bloom! I hope Kim will show you more pictures of her awesome garden. |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | A couple more. Here is a close up of the larger blooms on the shrubs. Karma, I think you are close, but I believe these may be Rhododendrom. Look at the link below and see what you think. REMEMBER, I don't know diddley!! [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] The blooms are huge, cupped hand size, and have numerous buds on a branch. Oops, we were discussing this in the cafe'. Hope you remember what I am talking about LOL!!
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | Another.... Sue, no, I can't leave them outdoors. I overwintered it in the basement. I can't BELIEVE I did it!! I was so excited!!
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 2, 2008 | Karma, good call on the bridal veil. A close up... I love the way it drapes when cut!! That's it for now...more later!!
|
| terriculture london (UK) April 3, 2008 | Wow! lovely to see your gardens starting to bloom. Love lantana. Karma, speedwell rings a bell, so it might be that one. Electricity is being turned off now, back later! |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 3, 2008 | Traci, I love that bridal veil. I am going to have to look for some of that. I have helleborus in bloom and some daffs and hyacinths. I also took a picture of my Dracuncula Vulgaris popping up and I have one fritillaria imperialis that survived the winter with buds and will take a pic of those later today if it doesn't well you know Rain again! |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 5, 2008 | Finally, I have time to post some more pics!! Walking Iris. It is in a pot, so please excuse the concrete! The blooms only last a day, but several emerge from the same leaf, one after another. Now, if I could get it in the ground I might have babies. UGH!!
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 5, 2008 | A beauty to behold and the lilac isn't bad either. At least it looks like a lilac. ☺
|
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 5, 2008 | The most amazing blue I have ever seen.....

|
| terriculture london (UK) April 5, 2008 | Hi Traci, your Iris is beautiful, mine have gone! I keep meaning to buy some new ones. I haven't heard cornflowers called bachelors before! You garden is looking lovely, wish I knew what your lovely white 'unkempt' was called, it's very pretty. I didn't go outside today, rain rain go away.....................! |
| terriculture london (UK) April 6, 2008 | Would you believe it, woke up to snow on the ground in April!

| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 6, 2008 | Oh no snow???????? What is going on, don't worry all will survive. Traci, that is a gorgeous lily and I too would like to know what the white flower is, looks real nice next to the forsythias. We call them bachelor buttons here and they are quite invasive, I think I got rid of most of mine and now that I see yours, I hope I get a few back as I will let them florish. And you have lilacs in bloom, oh I can smell them from here. I finally have a bit of blooms.

|
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 6, 2008 | Dracuncula Vulgaris is popping up all over
|
| terriculture london (UK) April 7, 2008 | Hi Candee, lovely Hyacinths, I can just imagine they smell wonderful. I have grown Pieris in a pot. They have beautiful leaves that change colour when the flowers have faded. They need erecacious soil so don't do well in here. Love your Hellebore, I think I will invest in a few more of those, they are so easy to look after and evergreen! Keep your garden pics coming ,it's lovely to see everyone's gardens blooming. I'm going to investigate any snow damage!!!!!........ |
| terriculture london (UK) April 7, 2008 | I can't remember the name of this one, I call it yellow balls!

| weesparrow Baldwin City, KS Zone 5b April 7, 2008 | Hi, terri - what a gorgeous garden you have! I think the bush you call yellow balls is a Kerria japonica pleniflora. I planted it last year, one of the few things that I managed to save the tag from! No signs of life from mine yet, I hope it survived. |
| terriculture london (UK) April 7, 2008 | Thankyou weesparrow! (what a lovely name). It is a mouthful ...... Kerria japonica plentiflora! I'm sure yours will be fine. Mine came from a bit my neighbour gave me about 5 years ago, every year I stick the prunings in alongside it, eventually I will have a hedge! Do you have anything flowering yet?
|
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 7, 2008 | Terri, I have that japonica as well and it got diseased the year before last and I almost lost it, but it appears to be sprouting up again this season, fingers crossed. Mine will actually bloom once in the spring and if all is well again in the fall. Peonies popping up, what colors do you have there? I have two tree peonies, one red and one white - they are getting buds, but need a bit of warm weather for them. Thanks for explaining about the Pieris, was wondering about the 2 colors in the pot. I'll have to research this one. |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 7, 2008 | Candee, Love the Pieris!! What a beautiful and unusual plant! Also, the purple hellabores are wonderful. Your yard is waking up very nicely!! Terri, I love yellow balls aka Kerria japonica plentiflora. I too want to know about the peonies!! Weesparrow, HELLO!! Please share your garden as well. Funny, the nickname for my daughter on DG is Teensy. Wonder if your name has anything to do with the reason she has hers. I am off to take pics. I will try to get an ID on the white flowers. LOL. |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 8, 2008 | Traci, how bout posting your white flower on the ID forum, bet it will get a hit before the day is out. So weesparrow, what is growing in KS? Glad you came to join us. We have themes for arrangements that we would love to have you share in if interested and we always look forward to seeing others' gardens. Candee |
| terriculture london (UK) April 8, 2008 | I think the Peony is red or dark pink, we will find out when it flowers! Sorry I can't remember. This thread was taking ages to load so I started a new one. Please keep posting your lovely flowers! Look, see the bird on the branch? it landed there just before I took the photo! My first birdie pic!!
