Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Georgia...glad you like it and so happy the Morning Glory brought you a sweet memory...they remind me of childhood, too...Mamaw had them growing up the side of their tiny hardware store in Glencoe, Alabama...I remember standing there watching the hummingbirds take advantage of the blossoms. I think there's an actually flower called "evening star" that's white (?). (Ya'll correct me if I'm wrong). We tried to grow them without much success...they're absolutely beautiful and grow like Morning glories except they come out in the cool evening hours. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Here is one species of the Eveningstar Late blooming white Peony Evening Star looks magnificent at dusk. This type of peony flower sometimes has petals trimmed with a few red streaks like you can see on the peony flowers above. Evening Star is a favorite for wedding peonies. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Whoa...beautiful!!! Do you have them growing in your yard? Maybe it's the Moon Flower I'm talking about...it's a vine and grows like the morning glory. Anyone have a pic of them? I'm off to the gym...UGH... _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Here is the extent of my gardening. I'm afraid I'm not very good at these things. But oh how I love seeing what all of you have done! Bravo! This is outside my front door at the end of my porch. Then this is growing up "dental floss" on the opposite end of the porch. You have to love it. Dental floss! hahaha..They just call me the mastergardener! LOL! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Yep, sure is. Isn't it beautiful? That is my reward for being good all year...Bwwwaaahhhhaaa!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem.... I wish I could take credit for it's birth and growth, but it was here when I bought the house. The fire ants are doing their thiing again this year though, so I am going to have to find a way to get rid of those suckers, otherwise, my yard will be no more! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Oh bliss...just love seeing these pictures. You both have green thumbs and more! I got a kick out of the name "Fox Gloves"...I just love flower names. When I was with my mother in a botanic garden the other day, we had the greatest time just reading the names these flower are given. No wonder we aren't seeing much of you Dee...you are digging planting digging cutting, planting.....
