Summer here in Oregon is starting its decline and boy do I feel cheated. I love a long growing season but alas that is not going to happen for me unless I take up on my threat and really do move to Hawaii......NOT!
The dahlias are ignoring me and blooming like there is no tomorrow.
 |
| My favorite....."Tanjo" |
 |
| .......Oh no.....this is my favorite"Bitsy", it is a water lily type |
 |
| No, I take that back....this is my favorite and I had to re-order it three years in a row before the grower sent me the correct one. It's a white water lily form called "Bride To Be" and it is just stunning. |
 |
......of course I am awful fond of these little red pom's like this one called "Pazazz" |
 |
| I forgot about this one....it is MeMa's favorite and I usually side with MeMa........so yep this is hands down my favorite called "Boogie Woogie" |
 |
.......wait, wait, wait.....I take it all back this is my favorite and the name alone settles it "Hawaii"
|
And a couple of beauties from the greenhouse........
 |
| Vanda "Patchera Delight" |
 |
| One of the only fragrant orchids in my collection and one that MeMa brought home in her luggage on her first trip to Oahu, its a beautiful Cattalya called "Fuchsia Lips". |
The "Hawaii" is just wowie!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful array of flowers in your garden! Very pretty! Don't pack your bags just yet. Hawaii's had a bad summer as well. Very rainy. =0)
