Clover

Not a weed!!!

Proof that I'm not a professional gardner, I've been pulling this up each year thinking it was a weed!  Apparently, it is a perrennial of some sort becuase it bloomed.  It must be something I planted years ago. Now I have to do some research to find out what type of flower it is.

Ground Phlox

Spring is the best!

These pink carnations bloomed really nice this spring. Spring is the best time in my garden.

Butterfly Bush

This is a nice photo of one of my butterfly bushes.

Something new!

I purchased this new perrennial at a local garden shop that is closing down.

 I was afraid planting it so late in our current drought would

 not be good, but it's still looking nice.

Milk and Wine Lily

I'm surprised each day when I go outside to find something blooming since

we are in such a dry spell.  This milk and wine lily is really beautiful.

A Southern Belle

My Gardenia's are blooming!

Mandevilla

Mandevilla is a vine flower that is really pretty and blooms all the way til frost in Georgia. 

 I've never had one make it thru the winter.  Maybe I'll bring this one in the winter and try

 to keep it going inside til next spring.

Overlooked

The bloom on the Hosta is often overlooked but it is really quite beautiful. This hosta blooms white instead of the lavendar that many bloom.

Dwarf daylily

I have a few dwarf daylilies. The bloom sites oly about six inches off the ground compared to the average daylily with the long stem. Mine don't seem to bloom every year so it was nice to get a photo of one yesterday.

Lots of Purple

I have lots and lots of purple perennials in my gardens. This is transplants beautifully!

Fall in the Spring!

                                                                                              

I planted these mums last Fall and didn't  

expect them to come back until later in the

year.  I'm looking forward to see if they

 bloom all Summer into the Fall.

Carnations in my Garden!

This beautiful pink carnation is another great find from my sweet mother-in-laws's garden. I found  a small thin leaf in her flower bed early spring as we were cleaning up her house for the estate sale. I was pretty sure it was a perrennial and dug it up. I was delighted to see this pretty pink carnation bloom this week. Another fond memory of Lucile.

 

Pretty in Pink

 I can never remember the type of plant I purchase. I just recently bought the one.

 I'll just call it Pretty in Pink!

One of my favorites

Hosta's are one of my favorite plants even though I don't really like their blooms.  I have several different varieties with about a total of 60 or more in my gardens.  I started with two plants about 15 years ago and split them every year.

Buds-n-Blooms

The Iris was a really pretty bud; however, the bloomed flower is amazing.

Poppies

I've never had poppies until this year.  Everytime I hear the word Poppies, I think of the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and friends see the Emerald City for the first time and begin running through the field of poppies.
