[joan w]

Welcome Calliesmum,

Those are nice photos that you posted Blossom.

[Lizcordysmum]

Thank you, Ven...it delighted me too! Was the only colour tho and I too like the bright ones.

Btw, was out today looking at my mini garden, and day-dreaming about yours!

[calliesmum]

I can't believe you have gardens to look at, mine is still buried under 1.2 feet of snow with more in the forecast!!

[Smitty]

beautiful ingredients everyone. Welcome calliesmom.
another ozark sundrop for the soup


an orange Oriental poppy

orange Asiatic Lily

[calliesmum]

Smitty- are the first two BOTH poppie varieties, I had poppies in the front two years ago and I loved them, so did my neighbors so I gave them all seeds and last year I "got back" some seeds,
But I never knew they came in any other color than red, wow,

going to google poppies to see what other colors, stunning flowers peoples, I love this thread.

I think and correct me if I am wrong most of these pictures are from the summer before Callesmum and welcome to the forum.

[Eeyore]

Yes, most of the photos are from the summer before. I think Calliesmum might have been referring to Liz's comment about checking out her little garden....
The Ozark Sundrop is not a poppy, also known as Evening Primrose, proper name is Oenothera macrocarpa. It spreads quite readily.

[Smitty]

thanks Lyn for filling in for me . ozark mountain sundrops are one of my favorite perennials..it just keeps going and going right thru the summer

[Koot]

Welcome Calliesmom All the picures are wonderful!, wish I could get the ostiomom's to grow. I really like them but I have no luck at all.
I have been busy but here are my "o"'s

Ornamental Bugbane, Orthelo, and Oregon grape

[Katherine]

The Kootenay contingent is present and accounted for! WELCOME Calliesmom!

Here is at least one O. This first one is Oplopanax horridum (Devils'club). Not quite in my yard yet, but Im hoping to try and get seed this fall.



my dark pink Oriental poppies



Mock Orange... No where near as nice a photo as the one with the beautiful God-daughter, on her Grad day, GORGEOUS that one. Is it the same species?? It looks like it, Philadelphus lewisii?? Tthis has heavenly scent, is long blooming and a native plant to boot.
