I edged & mowed today. Gotta trim the bushes & it might just be presentable! Front yard from East to West: Backyard, looking West toward patio (new arbor!) Shasta Daisies - Alaska Black & Blue Salvia Coneflower (sunrise, or sunset, I think) Gazanias Hibiscus Lily Rudbeckias Zinnias
I love your flower beds! That is what I am trying to do , a little every year. all the hard work certainly paid off today. Your beds look amazing!
Forgot 2 I forgot these two hibiscus shots: Thanks Gardenmama. I grew up with a gardening mom myself. She loved the work & the challenges & the rewards. She was actually asked to be a "grower" for Jackson & Perkins roses back in the 1970's. I caught the gardening bug from her. I love to be surrounded by beauty and lush greenery. Odd, because I grew up in the desert (El Paso, Texas) and now live on the semi-arid short-grass prairie of the Llano Estacado in West Texas.
It looks neater than neat to me!! Not to mention beautiful. You do a fantastic job,Wxtdaddy. I just put in the Black and Blue Salvia this spring. Don't you love it? The hummingbirds do too. Gardengater
Gosh I aspire to have such a wonderful garden as yours some day!! Mine is wild and woolly compared to yours but I love it just the same.
Very neat and tidy, WTD. The flowers continue to present lovely pictures. It's such a plewasure to see them as they progress.
Love the pink Hibiscus! And your back yard is so tranquil looking. You definitely got your mom's 'green thumb'.
Thanks, folks. Glad you enjoyed the pix. As for a green thumb, I admit that I kill almost every house plant I get. Don't know why, but houseplants are doomed when cared for by me.
Your yard looks very good to me, not a petal out of order there. And so many lovely, different colours too!
