I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Peach Trailing Verbena
Trailing Verbena
Verbena 'Lanai Peach'
(ver-BEE-nuh)
This Verbena has been a big hit this year. The color is special and there isn’t really another annual that has this particular shading. It fits the interior color scapes of a lot of ‘our’ houses so it nice to bring those colors out to the garden.
The Lanai Series has done well for us in previous years. I think we have used the red, purple, bright pink and burgundy ones. It has always been a showy free flowering plant that didn’t have any problems. Definitely on my annual recommend list. It does well as a bedding plant and in containers.

Mary Beth: Those Verbena are great flowers.
I found this peach verbena last year and loved it, this year I don't see it. A very unusual color in annuals, I agree. Combines well with so many other colors.
Chris, do you know Ismene Festalis? I planted some bulbs and they came up, and I took a great photo, worthy of your camera and skills. Come look!
Such soft colors!
They are beautiful.
