    That is a monster. It reminds me of a similarly sized pot of geraniums that the owner of the hair salon I used to go to manage to keep alive. Somehow he'd get these huge pots into the front of the shop before the frost and he would keep them going all winter. He finally retired last year and sold the building. I wonder where those huge terra cotta pots and the geraniums went...

      Schonbrunn castle, Vienna. Home of the Hapsburgs for a couple of centuries. Nice grounds.

          Nice.

          I have a 'Miss Molly' buddleia that I thought I had lost after last winter. They tend to die back to the ground in cold winters but the roots usually survive and they will re-sprout come spring. Mine took forever but it's finally grown about a foot. Hopefully it will bloom before summer is over!

            @wtg Same happened here. I tried two separate times to grow them, but they die down in the winter and come back smaller the following spring until nothing comes up. I gave up, we don't have the climate for them... yet.

              She ruthlessly chops her buddlea (hedge effectively) back each year and they spring back.
              I've seen a couple dozen butterflies on them.

                Spectacular. The drought has taken its toll here.
                But the hydrangeas are very blue (cuz I rake the fall leaves around it.)

                  Don't know if this counts here... it's the result of a blossom.

                  My first tomato of the year. I'm teaching it how to play the piano.

                  It may be small, but it was ultra packed full of incredibly delicious flavor.

                        Lovely dahlias!

                        There's a house down the street a bit that has a huge garden full of them. A wonderful cutting garden that I admire and envy each time I walk by. I tried growing them years ago but my yard is too heavily shaded; they like a fair bit of sun. Now I have more sun since we removed a large Austrian pine, but I've devoted the space to fruits and veggies.

                        Around here the tubers have to be dug up and stored for the winter, or you have to buy new each spring.

                            The Beebalm looks nice with the Goldenrod squatters (I will leave them where they've taken up residence, they do look good here).

                            Echinacea is one of my favorites.

                            After several mishaps and failed attempts, I finally have Hydrangea.

                            And then this happened! I put the Amaryllis outside for the summer to store energy and it blossomed!! I suspect this may mean no Christmas blossoms from this one.

                              Those are all so gorgeous! I'll bet your yard is full of bees.

                              Took this photo of a parkway tree a few weeks ago. Wasn't sure what it was, but eventually figured out it is a tatarian maple. 'Hot Wings'.

                              It's a stunning tree.
