I thought I would wander around the yard for a few moments with the camera before the front approaching from the west got here.

Do you know what all of these are? Pretty easy stuff.

Jeff,

Can I cheat and send these pictures to my daughter at Virginia Tech?

She’s studying for her masters in horticulture.

unless they are called by another name over there, Nope and Nope.

I'll give the first one. Sweet Williams.

number two is the bloom on a pretty good size bush.

Must be another name over here, After 35 years of marriage, I have learned that Jan is NEVER wrong

But I'll suggest the remote possibility to her

dansaylor · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2005, 07:05:32 PM »

jeff is the second one a bleeding heart.

Jeff · « **Reply #14 on:** June 17, 2005, 10:24:55 PM »

Nope. It is a weigela.

Ernie Sweet Williams is one of 300 different plants from the dianthus family so technically, she is right. Sorta like calling a green bean a vegetable eh?

Ernie · « **Reply #15 on:** June 18, 2005, 12:48:00 AM »

Thanks Jeff

I might get dinner tonight

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #16 on:** June 19, 2005, 01:51:37 PM »

AH, weigela...I see it now.

I've heard of sweet william, never seen it though.
