Misti - here's a link to the homepage - free photo albums - tons of space - i looked at one member - he has 1900 pix posted!

type in Bailey in the search box on the homepage - right now my darling boy is in about half of the pix!

ehBeth, can't thank you enough, I love lots of free space!

neko nomad's butterfly garden.

ehBeth, I registered for www.grovestreet.com, but it states only 100 MB's of space free, am I reading it correctly?

I haven't posted any pics there yet, but I will this week.

Neko - are you gettting lots of butterflies in that nice bright garden?

OssoB - i don't know that much about Grove Street - I kinda followed c.i. there (back-tracked from one of his pix) - given what i've posted and what i see, looks like there is plenty of room available

but - should you run out of room there - try registering at care2.com. I've got about 7 accounts there - and there is photo space associated with each one. Definitely more room than i was able to access for free through msn.

Not very many,Ebeth, but I can't expect more on such a small(12x12 maybe a bit larger ) patch of plant life. I see small white ones and some that are a dusty bluish grey. There are now two yellow tiger swallowtails which pass by daily. My place is in the middle of a tidy impatiens- and-closely shaved golfgreen desert. Am getting some tips on adding more attractions from my guidebook.

Wasps of different colors and small wild bees buzz about the flowers. Looks so cheerfully serene from the patio.

Sounds very nice, Neko. Well, it looks nice, but the description of your butterflies adds to the mental picture.

Osso:Here's my hint for getting an image's URL without rightclicking,assuming your keyboard has Windows specific keys.
a. Place the pointer on the picture.
b. Press the Application key (3rd to the right of the space
bar-it has a pictograph of a document with arrow pointer.
Presto-the image's data box pops up.

Lilies can add class to the most humble flowerbed.

Hmmmm...pretty!

Beautiful!

Who would not rank the tiger lily L. lancifolium as a favorite ? With the tiger comes the wistful realization that it's one of the last flowers to bloom for the season,certainly my last lily. Some grow to about 7 feet high up front, but aren't photogenic as of now due to damage done by a tree crew working on a maple. Tomorrow ,or the day after, this and other plants should be ready to pollinate (the stigma becomes sticky) with pollen from the martagon and "Citronella" I had put by for the purpose.. The lily family figures largely throughout the growing season in my little paradise, starting with the erythroniums in early spring.
My attachment to the tiger lily goes back to the time I first saw it in the wild at Chitose Air Base in Hokkaido, where there was a considerably large woodland . A very long time ago,mind you. I hope some of you out there enjoyed seeing the pictures as much as I had showing them.
Happy gardening, all.

We have those in our yard, too, neko. They came from my husband's grandmother's yard. Her name was Lillye, so we call them "Lillye's lilies."

Oh Eva, you give me back my hope for the human race:)

I love growin g Morning Glory. I have purple, blue and pink ones.

The Driveway as it looks Autumn 2003

Nekochan,in her capacity as gardening supervisor.

Shown here is a shot taken last spring of what is to be an iris bed. The tulips were parked temporarily. The required lifting and dividing has been put on hold because of an accident I had a month ago injuring my foot,putting me on crutches. Adding to my dilemma is not having a place for the tulips. Eventually, a lilac and privet screen will shield what appears to be a growing eclectic collection of recycled construction material next door.
