~ALPHABET SOUP U-V-W~
We're into the final str-r-r-r-retch now, folks! Mr Sun is shining on tons of Ubiquitous garden clean-up to do... err, list... this morning. Actually, Mrs Moon was just as bright last nite.
Ladling[sp] off with one U-V-W set.
~U~ UP ON THE ROOF is sing-alongable. lah-lah-hah
~V~ Spent more time (and I daresay more coinage) at the local VEGGIE MARKET than in own veggie patches. [rueful unsmilie attached]
~W~WHITE TRILLIUM dwells in a miniscule backyard wildflower patch.

I'm going to suffer withdrawal after the soup ends! It's been an wonderful diversion.
Thanks to all the hosts and creators.
I have a V and 3 Ws. The hosta was a nice surprise. It was a sport I'd separated from Paul's Glory. I planted it in the back of the garden, as I couldn't throw it out. So I was pleasantly surprised when it turned into this blue hosta. Folks on the hosta site identified it for me.
Reen, that's a gorgeous clump of veronica. Do you know which one it is?

Beautiful captures, everyone!
Whatever whichway you post your garden beauties is OK, Laura! ;o}
I've got Vetch and always forget to take its picture. Of course if a Monarch lit on one, cammie would appear a might quicker! Your photography eye just gets lovelier.
Reen, I'm looking for a a lone red Snapdragon among your Vesuvius Campion and don't see one . winklaff Think I have Veronica somewhere....
Marie, I'm a 3-4 year practicing watcher/grower of Hostas and your Wheaton Blue is a spectacular sorprise, alright! Like the White Kiss lily far better than the Easter Lily. ;o}

Re: ~ALPHABET SOUP U-V-W~
Loving the U V W's, here are mine.
U for Umbrella Plant also known as Podophyllum peltatum or Mayapple
V for Verbascum This one sprawled over the ground vs standing upright but I still love the clolour.
I have two verbena - first is Verbena hastata
The other is Verbena bonariensis it self seeds profusely and last year, having an empty space, I allowed it to do so.
For W, I will show what I started doing with my rock walls. Fill the cracks with small plants.

You folks are a hard act to follow!
First tho...that was a lovely enormous golden moon last night indeed, MareE...at 5:30 a.m. today!
I have some Verbascum...purple spikey.
Some Wallflowers for my Nice Niece.
Some Wisteria.
And finally, a little sign of Spring, 2012.

Re: ~ALPHABET SOUP U-V-W~
Wanted to post the pic of the one wisteria again, but posted that right after it quit blooming . Was the best year ever for that particular wisteria.
So instead will post a creeping Veronica, and a White Monarda

Re: ~ALPHABET SOUP U-V-W~
Was my worst year for Wisteria, and I'm praying my jinx is over. I fed a clematis lots of comfrey tea, which soaked thru the pot into the Wisteria soil. Don't know if that's what did it, but I was so disapointed I could have cried.
The clematis was very happy.
Love the blue of your Creeping Veronica! I just cannot get ground cover to grow well, except for wild buttercup, periwinkle, and catmint, all of which are wild and invasive here, demmit!
