Here is a peony polly which Charlene was nice to send me seeds.  I just can't believe how they spread to germinate between the cracks of my stepping stones.

This is the Stella d'Oro.....after my name...LOL  Why could it not have been red or pink which are my favorite colors (hee, hee).

This Astilbe is a freebee from our town mayor.  He has this beautifying program, and the city gives us either 2 perennials or 3 boxes of annuals.  Last year it was a piddly little thing.  Looks like it grew up.....LOL

anky37:

no idea--but it's spreading!

It does spread and is very invasive.  My neighbor has it and keeps wanting to share some with me but it's too invasive for me.  She calls it Joseph's coat.  It's also known as Chameleon plant.

Donna... Looks like your sedium is growing quiet nicely............. Nope never saw a white rose of sharon with a white center but it sounds pretty.

Gayle... Those are a couple of beautiful hanging baskets. .... Don't recall seeing a rose of sharon with a double bloom.

Kathy... I like that lily. Don't know what kind it is but its really nice. Guess maybe the last couple of years its been saving its strength so it could bloom for you this year.

Wanda... What a nice closeup picture of that lily. Thats a really nice picture. Those are also some really nice flower beds too.

Leslie... Theres no wonder you had to prop that stem up with all those flowers on there.

Deloris... Nice looking flowers and if I were you I would try to keep it through the winter as well.

Moly... I really love sunset pictures. They are always so relaxing looking.

Sue... Those are really pretty cactus and  used to have some many years ago as well. I thought they were so pretty but any time I would get close to them somehow my fingers would be full of those stickers.

Bette... I like those beautiful flowers. They are such a pretty color and really looks good with those leaves.

Charlene... I love bee balm. That stuff really attracts hummingbirds like crazy.

Stella... Oh wow that is a beautiful peony. Of course you had to have a stella lily too. It really is a nice looking flower. Sure wish our town would give away beautiful flowers like that.

Sandy... Nice looking flower. Do I see some phlox in that flower bed as well.

Thanks everyone for all of these great pictures today as well as the comments.
