I love the me the fuck out of some plants, yea yea I know ya'll think I'm just some silly stoner and that's cool but I thought I would start a thread for people to shoot the breeze about your gardens, favorite flowers/fruits/veggies to grow, horticulture techniques or maybe you are into bonsai or topsyturvy tomato growing. Whatever floats your boat, if not I'll just post pic's of pretty shit. :D

Digitalis is one of my favorite flowing plant's of all time.

Digitalis lantana - Grecian Foxglove

I visit Oxford University Botanic Gardens a lot....it has great plant material there.

Oh nice....yea I bet foxglove does grow pretty well in England among many other great plants lol. I bet spring time in that garden is something else.

It's amazing...hellebores are fab as are the spring bulbs, magnolias...just wish it would stop raining!!!:rolleyes:
 
My ultimate favorite will be the night blooming Jasmine plant. (sorry I can't post pics from phone)

I have a beautiful Hibiscus that is blooming abundantly in it's new home in the dining room. It survived the Michigan winter. The house flys have been pollinating it.

I also have over a hundred immature Amyrillis bulbs that I have been babying in hopes to have great presents in a year or two.
 
I miss having a garden! Moved here in September, and there is nothing in my yard except grass and one ugly little bush...but no money to spare for plants this year:(
 
Love, love, love this thread - great idea Botany Boy.

^My first love.

i'm afraid that my gift of nurturing flowers is limited; but i admire their beauty. daisies are my favorite.

Ty and I hope it turns out alright, thanks to everyone so far it seems to be liked. I do like daisies and these guys too.

Structurally they are extremely cool flowers with not one but hundreds of small hermaphroditic flowers in each bud. They are some of my favorite. :)

Awww sad, well I hope your neighbors help out next spring by spotting you some clippings and seeds over the winter. ;)

A blue and maroon Lupinus texensis...
