    Your garden is so full of colour and wildlife. My garden is looking rather drab at the moment as we're now into autumn so it's lovely to see your beautiful blooms. Your living wreath is really lush and healthy - I really must try one of those next year. :stew2:

    Kuntrygal...I had shown what I bought at a Garden Fair in the beginning of June . The wreath was one of the things but I have added more items to it. The only problem I have is when I put a piece of a plant in the wreath the small birds sometimes pull them back out...so I go and keep putting the pieces back in.

    Your garden is a delight! Oh to be a butterfly there. I love your colours, especially the Cosmos and the Delphinium.

    Thoser flowers look terrific! The cosmeas and malva are quite striking...not to mention that supurb Delphinium.--Well done, Sherry.
    Also the results of your Garden Fair shopping spree. You got some nice things there.

    You still have lots of beautiful blooms, Sherry.
    The blue of your Delphinium is gorgeous. I am going to try some Larkspur down here next year, they are more heat tolerant than the Delphinium so maybe I will have some pretty blue in my garden too. ;)

    Such nice blooms in your garden Sherry. I couldn't find those orange Cosmos ANYWHERE this spring! I've since found a pack of seeds for them for next year.
    Love your Mallow and Delphinium too :)

    Sherry I do remember your original picture and post. Upclose the wreath just looked different. :-? Again, I really like it ... and apparently the little birdies do too. :p

    Sherry your garden is beautiful and looks like high summer with your fantastic beds so neat and full of flowers. Mine is fading. Thanks for sharing your updated sedum wreath. It has really matured and looks so full. I am making a few for Christmas presents so was excited to see what the end results might be. :stew1:

    So much colour, what a joy for the senses. And I LOVE your wreath. I can see a winter project coming up. :)
