Some nice flowers today . . . .
« on: September 11, 2006, 03:11:54 PM »
A few passion flowers and I'm delighted to report that the frittilary are back and doing well.  They've almost completely devoured the lutea, but there is enough caerulea and incarnata in the back to keep them going . . . .

Just one more - this caerulea was a gift from Joyce several years ago and now it's taking over my entire backyard.

Great pix Teresa... O0

The caerulea is taking over my backyard too.
Almost as bad as Bindweed. :o
Peace to all  ... Joyce

Oh but that lemonny smell and the tons of flowers, they do make it more worthwhile than bindweed.  And it's so much easier to pull up than bindweed. . . . . ;)

I just love your passifloras. My caerulea isn't blooming yet but I have it in a small pot and forget to water it. Is it hardy to zone 7? If it is I might be able to plant it in the garden.
My Lavender Lady is blooming a bit though. It needs a bigger pot or to be planted in the garden too. Here's my Lavender Lady.



I love the lemony scent too.

Caerulea should be hardy for you, but be careful letting it loose as it's a real spreader.  (In other words, it's a huge weed and if you don't contain the runner roots, you'll have it everywhere!!!)

I don't know if Lavendar Lady is hardy or not . . . . I treat her sister Jeanette as if she was not.

Thanks Teresa. I have an area that could use a good spreader. First though I have to get rid of a while morning glory. That thing is a real pest of a plant.
