I can't believe summer has moved along so fast this year. The lilies are still blooming!

Those blooms are gorgeous

. Is that last one a lily also? It looks kinda like an Iris

Cheers,

JW, that was pretty darn fast, you remembering the name

I tried to remember it too, but gave up and went to another site to remember it was a water hyacinth

I got some in a trade a few years ago, put them in one of the kiddie pools, how beautiful they all were, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I can't take credit for remembering...............I saw the name in her post title at the end

Very pretty indeed!

Hey Lynn what happened to Lynne22............I never see her here anymore or do I just miss her posts somehow?

SueSTx · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2009, 08:08:46 PM »

I haven't seen her here much either lately - she was the one who sent me over here from another website.

jw · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2009, 09:07:30 AM »

Yes I know and I wondered what happened to her...............I hope she is ok $:-\$

HOWELL · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2009, 09:15:35 AM »

My hyacinths are blooming like crazy too...all of them is this the time of the year when they bloom?

jw · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2009, 10:09:17 AM »

Howell, I sure wish I could grow the Hyacinth here but it just does not do well..........it just sits there and looks forlorn and then turns yucky and dies :'(. Not hot enough here I guess.

LynneNY · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2009, 02:41:47 PM »

jw - mine were doing the same thing, and did that last year as well, but this year I soaked them in miracle grow bloom booster for a week in a small tub a few weeks ago, and now they are growing well. No blooms yet, but I'll take the healthy plants for a change anyday!

jw · « **Reply #20 on:** August 16, 2009, 02:55:43 PM »

Lynne do you save yours every year or just have to buy new ones? I hear it is hard to do.

LynneNY · « **Reply #21 on:** August 16, 2009, 05:51:27 PM »

jw - I've never had any healthy enough to even try to save, though I don't think I will try with these this year either. I only have so much room to take plants inside, and I have lots of "regular" plants to winter indoors, plus now some pond plants!

jw · « **Reply #22 on:** August 16, 2009, 07:42:39 PM »

Yep I am in agreement w/ ya..........only so much room and I've heard they need tons of light $:-\$

Looking good, Jessica! The Gonnere looks great. Our 'real' summer only started a couple weeks ago and now the kids return to school tomorrow.

Julles · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2009, 12:45:00 PM »

Jessica, the angles on those shots are really fantastic!

maryvonne · « **Reply #25 on:** August 17, 2009, 12:47:21 PM »

Gorgeous photos, Jessica! I really like the Gonnere photo. I only got one bloom on mine this year, but Ginger may have knocked it off the ledge. She knows not to go into the pond but has taken to swatting at the lilies from the edge. She can be a brat at times. The WH is very pretty too.

Beautiful!

My hardies are already slowing down. My Gonnere started blooming again with the change in temps we have had in the last week. It had two blooms yesterday.
It was 48 degrees here Sunday morning!!! I'm so not ready for summer to be over.

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:47:20 AM »

Jessica, gorgeous photos!

I have tried to over winter water hyacinths in my aquarium in the living room and in the heated pond in heated greenhouse. Neither worked.

jw · « **Reply #28 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:59:05 AM »

I won't even bother then as if you couldn't do it then I'm sure I couldn't do it either...........it would prolly take a ton of light and a what a waste of electricity and $$. Cheaper to just buy new ones but then I can't even get them to grow here in the summer $:-\$ . I give up on those
