The Costco Dahlias are the only ones that came up this year.<br />I need to get a picture of her hair while it's still really dark purple.<br /><br />Lona - Yes, we made the flower pot stakes. I bought the smallest clay pots I could find, spray painted them and tried to glue them to the stake, but the glue came up through the hole and looked bad. So I just sort of set them on the stake off to the side - even easier than gluing.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-36645882047562595532011-08-30T08:30:39.535-07:002011-08-30T08:30:39.535-07:00What a huge lovely beautiful awesome garden you ha...What a huge lovely beautiful awesome garden you have!!!!<br />I would imagine the birds love your yard...are there feeders or birdbaths?<br />I would love to have a seat and knit the afternoon away in your yard!Lap Dog Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-21759496118330072692011-08-30T08:02:03.231-07:002011-08-30T08:02:03.231-07:00Your garden looks so beautiful Catherine.

The Kniphofia is so pretty and I love the unusual blooms on them. I planted two different bunches of Crococmia Lucifer this spring and none of them came up. Drats! Your Nikko hydrangea is so pretty. Mine grew like crazy this summer but not one bloom. This summer garden blooming has been awful here.I have never grown Turtlehead's before but I like the idea that they may bloom later in the summer. That is just the prettiest dahlia. |Did you make those little flowerpot planter stakes?

My turtlehead hasn't bloomed yet - it needs moved as it's being taken over by my callicarpa bush. I agree the pastel pink rose looks like 'Heritage.' I saw 'Heritage' at the BH&G test garden, and this looks like it.

My 'Ville de Lyon' looks or should I say, "looked" a lot like yours. It's finished now. 'Ruby d'Oro' is a stunner. It must be a repeat bloomer. 'Green Envy' is beautiful with the asters behind it. Did you buy that dahlia at Costco? It looks very similar to one I have. That sunflower is HUGE! Have you considered using one as a cast for a cement leaf?
