2. Good morning, Miss Peggy! Beautiful pictures! |
|
I especially like the first one. What kind of flower is that?
Nice to see you today. Haven't been in the Lounge much over the weekend; spent lots of in in GD reading some of the wonderful Memorial Day posts over there.

An amazing garden, thanks to my landscape designer, and to my horticulturist who maintains it!
The flower is the Peruvian Daffodil......

Yes, indeed...Spring!
It is my favorite season!
Yes, the third picture is of the fruit on my peach tree....
Alas, they look a lot better than they taste.....
This area is just not ideal for peaches...... :shrug:
So, after I found that out......I just leave the fruit on the tree for the birds and the squirrels....
Glad you like the pics! Thanks for your comments today!

Actually, one of my favorite things about California is the "weird" flowers that grow here.
I'm not normally a plant person, but they're definitely more interesting here than they are in the Midwest.
Thanks for the pics, they're gorgeous!

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that you like these!
The flowers in the last picture are a type of sage....salvia.
There are many types, and I don't know which ones these are....
But I love the flowers!
Alas, no news yet.....be sure that I will start a thread once I have definitive news.....
Thanks for asking....

22. Can you identify these beauties for us? |
|
My guesses:
day lily some type of daisy plums wild lilac.
BTW, I'm surprised your wild lilac is in bloom now. They're pretty much exhausted up here in Seattle.

Peruvian daffodil, coreopsis, can't say & what they call in Oregon a "California lilac".
Those do look a bit like plums, but I don't know if they sit up in a little bunch like that!
CaliforniaPeggy, have you heard from your doctor yet?

Thanks for your answers.....I think you are correct on all.....
The fruit is my peach tree! Pretty to look at, and nearly inedible, alas!
This is just not the proper place to grow them....I leave them on the tree for the birds and the squirrels...
I haven't heard any results just yet...I am STILL waiting!
You will know just as soon as I do.....*sigh*

Close, but no cigar!
Peruvian Daffodil
I'm not sure about the daisy.
Peach tree!
Some sort of salvia, or sage.....Not a lilac. These guys bloom a lot of the year down here...
Glad you liked them!

No green thumb for me! You can thank my landscape designer for the plants and my horticulturist for how things look!
I just wander about in it, and take pictures....
They have a complete drip irrigation system for water, and they grow on their own!
I'm glad you enjoyed these!

I am not familiar with the first flower at all. It's stunning!
Your coreopsis are probably the only ones I will see this year. We have a baby bunny who has taken up residence in our day lillies and he comes out to eat the coneflowers and the coreopsis. They're reduced to stubbles now..but at least bunny is growing fast and has a very fat tummy.

42. Peruvian daffodil..hmmm..I wonder if they grow in Ohio |
|
I will have to check them out. They're absolutely gorgeous.
The coneflowers and coreopsis will come back although they may not bloom until next year. Each year the baby bunnies manage to eat one or two plants. Last year it was all the tall phlox plants. I don't mind..as you said it's a good cause.
