Summer Flowers-Part 2!
Did a walk about the other day and stopped to smell the flowers!
Ice Girl Rose tucked in behind Summer Tall Phlox and Yucca's. Great crop of Yucca's this year! Counted 13 flowers amongst 3 plants! Shasta Daisies next to Euonymus. Pruned the Euonymus hard last year due to painting the house so it's only about 5 feet tall. Old Rose (Parentage unknown) amongst wild morning glory that I can't stand and can't control and my hummingbird feeder. Last edited by Dee-O-Gee; July 11th, 2010 at 09:55 PM. |

Just a couple more shots....
Wow, they look so tall! More Daisies next to rain barrel which has been keeping itself full at least once a week! Can't forget my little feathered friends! The end!

Very pretty, klm Love the color of your summer phlox!!! And those creamy blooms? Are those the yucca? Very striking!
Do you think your 'morning glory' might be some type of bindweed? I think they're in the same family, but bindweed can be really difficult to control

It's all beautiful, klm. Are you the gardener, or do you get someone in? If it's you I think you do a great job of knowing which plants go well together. The red rose is so beautiful, and that Euonymus is interesting. They will grow in our area, I found out that much, but can't find one yet that looks like yours. Do you know what its full name is?

Yes Hazel; It's bindweed. I studied up on it last year and found that the root of bindweed will grow in excess of 40' per root.
The more you try to uproot the morning glory bindweed, the more it promotes growth. I must do something this fall with that one flower bed or else I'm going to lose my very old Kirkland roses. Goldfields, I do believe the variety I have is a Chollipo Euonymus variety. Mine in particular has grown in excess of 10 feet but had to prune it back very hard last spring so we could stain the side of our house. Fortunately, it seems to have survived the trim and will leave it alone for another 10 years! hopefully

I'll have to Google it, the only one in my Botanica that looked remotely similar was one whose common name was Emerald n Gold, but it was gold where yours looks white or cream.
