OK, here's what the Big Bed out front is looking like as of yesterday. No shots of the other beds 'cause they're boring. Iris foliage, Otto Lyuken, garlic... just green. :)

Here's one of the Dahlia's with 4 new buds on it.

And one of that whittled-back corner area; annual verbenas, petunias, and a bit of Alyssum. ... OK, a LOT of Alyssum. ;)

The poor confused Jerusalem Cherry with a couple new blooms. She just doesn't know what to do! (Iris foliage to the right)


One of the other Dahlias (whose name escapes me at the moment), with ... ?? vine wending its way through her. Darn, what vine is that?? Annual, prolific self-sower, bright red blooms... cardinal something-or-other??


Mums, one pink and one yellow/white. They would look a lot better had I cut them back during the season like I was supposed to. < =/ Still got loads of begonias around too, as you can see, and a bit of the Homestead purple verbena is wending its way back around there as well. Some of a spearmint plant can be seen in the foreground, bottom right of the photo. That mint is REALLY happy there, Wheee!!! < =)
