Isabelle, your flowers are beautiful, i,m glad i found some one else on here from WV, i live about 35 miles from Morgantown, if you know where that is. looking forward to more pictures.

Isabelle-
I didn't understand what your question was about pic #22.
If you want to know the name of the plant, it's an amaryllis hybrid.
Also my camera had the wrong date in it which was about a month behind,
so pics dated april would have actually been taken in may.
I'm in a zone 7A here.
Thanks, Dave

Thank you. :-)
I'm actually named after Rose of Sharon, but it's in a religious context.

your garden is lovely! i wish i could tell you what kind it is but i'am not sure, i do have serveral of this type in different colors.

Isabelle, this is where I get my water garden info & advice. They are really smart & good at diagosing stuff. Ask them for advice on what product they reccomend for your pond/waterfall (mine is in the shade & you look like you get a lot more sun.)

What's the sassafras tea story? Was it like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds : )?

Isabelle, I love your garden, so lush & full and casual. How long have you been working on your yard (or did it take about to get to this point)?

Yup, I started the Gardener's Lounge group!

The Denver Botanic Garden out here has a huge tree of angel trumpits that is just gorgeous. Stargazer lilies are my very favorite, and I like the picture with the frog I have a mini zoo if you look on my page, under my pic it says photo's and one of my albums is called my zoo. I have a few frogs, only mine are pets lol.
