I always learn so much from you about pruning and planting; your garden is continually stunning and well-tended. <br /><br />I'm glad the Bubblegum super tunias are doing well for you, aren't they amazing? My friend who owns a greenhouse said she is getting in two new colors next season, I told her to save some for me. <br /> <br />Looking at the pictures you've shared, there is no evidence you've had such high temps and low moisture. As always, your garden is an oasis of beauty.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-37740618563290057632012-07-10T10:29:53.811-05:002012-07-10T10:29:53.811-05:00Looking good, especially since we have broken just...Looking good, especially since we have broken just about every heat record there is. We just had the hottest 6 days in a row here in N.C., another record breaker. BTW, blogger finally decided to publish your comment on my blog.

I have multiple spots that have to be revitalized now that my garden is maturing.<br />I suffer from "phlox-phobia" I hate powdery mildew and got rid of so many plants that seem to draw it in the garden .. can you suggest a starter phlox that can stand up to PM ? one with fragrance ? .. I am willing to try after seeing your beauties !!<br />Joy : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-23677862961004490622012-07-07T07:23:57.494-05:002012-07-07T07:23:57.494-05:00Hi Bernie,

Your Lilies are just beautiful at the moment, and I love the Phlox as well. I recognise the plants in those containers and they are definite sun hardy, heat hardy things.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-45793181409906545782012-07-06T10:04:49.646-05:002012-07-06T10:04:49.646-05:00Hi Eileen.

What started out so promising has been flattened too many times. Even the daisies. That Red Rum lily is another pretty one. I got the Chicago Apache after seeing your but it has not bloomed yet. I love the red lilies. I am glad the fierce storms have missed you. Have a wonderful weekend.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-3535720300424598772012-07-06T09:19:15.272-05:002012-07-06T09:19:15.272-05:00Hi Eileen, I can't remember a summer as hot as...Hi Eileen, I can't remember a summer as hot as this one. And it has also been super dry. I think you are right about climate changes and adapting to them. Your group of Orienpet Lavon Lilies are just stunning. I am deeply jealous!! The trumpet lilies are just beautiful too. It may be hot and dry, but your garden looks great!<br />I wish I had added more lilies now. Have a great weekend Eileen!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-12886312610542523142012-07-05T19:28:41.854-05:002012-07-05T19:28:41.854-05:00Eileen, You are right about climate change.

Your phlox and orienpets are simply lovely! I appreciate the educational message you impart with your blog posts.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.com
