I wish I could send this bouquet of flowers to each and every one of my blog readers.This vase represents three years of hard labor.
This garden has been a work in progress for a long time. It is finally at the point where I can walk to it and cut some flowers to fill my vase. I have had many of these perennials given to me. Nancy and my Dad provided many of the plants. I am very grateful. I have a lot of space to fill!
Once my vase was full I wasn't sure where to take the best photo. It feels like I made these flowers.....I certainly spent a lot of time on them! I think they are my outdoor art!
I offered them to the dragon. They looked great there.But it is so hot I am certain they won't last long here.
So they are now happily displayed in the kitchen where we enjoyed seeing them during lunch. Three years = one fabulous vase!
Carmi, these are lovely flowers. It is great to have the plants growing at your backyard and ready to be picked. I enjoy the lavenders and day lilies growing in my garden, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful summer!
At this point, you can say whatever you want, but I say BRAVO for persisting. From strewing to fretting these are indeed the fruits of your labours over the years. Looks like a mighty fine crop this year and a wonderful display. Enjoy! My verification word is "crojzsa" that sounds like a new species!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderful job with your garden. Ours was in a similar condition and it's taken my husband nearly 5 years to get it halfway decent. The soil is very stony which makes planting even more difficult.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are really lovely.
i'm so happy my "babies"
ReplyDeletehave such a loving and caring home!
