Colours of the Year


Dont mix it up with Cannabis indica. Normally,i dont like Plants so much,that has to be protected in the Winter.
But this beautyfull Flower,i dont like to miss in my Garden.For many Months,they bring Colours into life

The Summer has passed and slowly is getting cold :(
I pass trough my Picture,of the Flowers,i have taken during the Summer,so,at least in my Mind,i can heath up a bit.
And when i see them, in front of my Eyes,then im sure,that there is no Painter equal like Nature.
I have a lot of pictures and i will start posting today and will add more,step by step

  3. I think I've seen these labeled as Empress Lilies? I don't have any in my own garden but I would like to acquire some soon.

  4. I think they're called crying heart (or bleeding heart) because it looks like a droplet falling out of the heart shaped flower. I planted some roots this spring but too late for any flowers to come up, I hope to get some flowers next year.

  5. They remind me of smiling faces. I like to plant them in front of my house so I'll be greeted by smiling faces when I come home :-)

  7. Lovely! I used to grow these without protection in sunny California, but I'm not too keen on growing plants that need to be dug up and replanted each year so for now I won't grow them. I may change my mind later.

  8. The Rhododendron is the state flower of West Virginia - I grew up in West Virginia and remember these vividly in my parents yard... all the eastern mountain states of the US you will usually find the gorgeous specimen.

    I loved the posting of these flowers! All beautiful!

  13. your'e right, there is no painter like nature, nothing so variant and beautiful. Much of it is fleeting because of climate and all kinds of things so tis good to capture it as you have here. Lovely pictures of your summer that I guess has passed, if you are not from down unda!

  24. Thank you all for your comments. - A good thing also is,that i will know,how they are called in your country.
    Thats why i just posted some more

  25. They are beautyfull terrible. If you plant them closed to the house and dont cut them,once in a while,they can break your roof.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I dont know,how you call them in your country,here in germany,we call them christrose.
    If you have problems with snails,its good to plant a lot of them. Snails hate them

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have lived closed to Holland,when i was young. When you go there in the Spring, you wil see them for miles and miles and miles. colours without end

    ReplyDelete
  28. I agree with you - i like to put the plants and leave them grow there.
    But anyhow - I like those Blumenrohre. And in the end its so easy. Before it starts freezing,i cut them back,take the soil of and put the roots in straw somewhere in the garage or house.
    And in the spring cut them in peaces and plant again. they will fill up my eyes with beauty,during the whole summer

  35. Aww what a pretty garden you must have..do you have to lift all your annuals over Winter..that is the part of gardening in this part of the World I don't enjoy..back in New Zealand we would just put on a Frost cloth..do you lose many plants..

  36. The most of the Plants,that we have in the Garden,come back each year after the winterseason.
    Normally,i like to put plants,that are not made for the european climate and who need a special care in the winter.
    That does not mean,that i dont like them,but if i like to see or plant them,i prefere,to go,where they can stand the climate without special care.
    Some exceptions i make with Dahlias or por exempel Canna indica,which i take out in the winter and plant them again in the spring. Thats easy to do.
    Annual plants,i spread out the sead in the spring and in the winter,they are gone anyhow.Some of them come back by themselve,when they throw their seed.
