Beautiful flowers, Darla. Love the Dahlias. We planted them one summer--and they did okay, but not great. SO--we didn't plant them again. Yours are gorgeous.


Have a great day --and Memorial Day..

Hugs,
Betsy

How beautiful. Great shots Darla. I am patiently waiting for my yellow callas to arise, but now I won't be surprised if they turn out pink! I definitely need some dahlias..yours are exquisite.

Lois said...

Gorgeous as always Darla!

Leora said...

I look forward to the cone flowers. They are native to our area.

I tried growing bee balm once; it didn't flower for me. No idea why.

Great garden.

MedaM said...

Nice week for you!

Lovely blooms today Darla. I'm still waiting on my Monarda & Coneflowers. Your Dahlia is pretty. I have one that seems to be struggling this year after surviving our winters for 5 years in the ground. Have a nice rest of your weekend! :)

Euroangel said...

i do the same...most pictures of flowers are from our garden..unless otherwise stated...thanks for sharing your flowers too!

Pacey said...

Wow, great set of flowers here Darla. And the dahlia is so difficult to grow, so delicate. Could be about the temperature we got here.

Susie said...

Darla those calla lilies are so pretty. Love the pink and yellow together.

Catherine@AGardenerinProgress said...

Seeing your flowers always gets me anxious to see them bloom here, which won't be for months.

ChrisC said...

For some reason I can't grow dahlias or callas here(the armadillos eat my bulbs).Love your's tho.

April said...

Your garden and flowers are lovely! Beautiful Hibiscus! They all have such pretty names.

Inday said...

Beautiful garden flowers. So that's Amaranthus. Those leaves are medicinal too, extract the juice for bruises. And the Callas, I've seen them here more on white and yellow than pink. You must have green thumbs too! Thanks for the visit.

Kathy W said...

Oh I really love the first one but they are all beautiful shots. =)

Martha said...

I really think you have the prettiest garden I have ever seen! I mean that sincerely! :-)

lola said...

Love your flowers Darla. I wish I had more blooming now as all this rain is so depressing.
Anything I planted in the ground is history. The only thing surviving are the things I planted in tubs & whiskey barrels. That is mostly veggies.
Hope you have a great Memorial Day.

Prospero said...

Where did the yellow calla come from?
Are your plants producing seed?

Corner Gardener Sue said...

Ohh, I have a favorite, and it's the dahlia! I finally found my bag of 3 bulbs, is that what you call the roots? Anyway, I need to get them in the ground and see if they grow.

Norm said...

wow! love those beautiful flowers esp the dahlia, you have fabulous series of flowers so pretty as always.

Ebie said...

Wow, nice flowers! You grow them in your garden, must have a green thumb. Also the pink calla lily, I have not seen that color, very beautiful, and the yellow too.

Hi Darla, what a lovely variety of beautiful blooms. Thank you for identifying each one. I love to learn the ones I don't know. It may take a while but their names are slowly sinking in :) Thank you so much for sharing and have a great week.

A lovely selection of gorgeous flowers! The second is my favourite :)

Billie: As far as the Mezoo, I think you can bring it inside during the winter. I have been pinching mine and sticking it in different containers in hopes of saving some of it. You can also pinch some and stick it in the ground just to see what happens, that's how I learn. Thanks for visiting.
