Again...., forgetting the pic.....

Here's a clem called C. F. Young, taken June 4th.

Closer....it was loaded with blooms this year.

Here's a new garden ornament I got this year, rustic and hand made, not made in China. I just love it.

It has a dragonfly on one end and a real marble ball on the other, perfectly balanced, and turns in the wind.

Another view of it.

Last pic for now, 2 of Hope's hand painted birdhouses.

I'm just catching up on this thread....really lovely flowers....I am taken with the dragonhead that Meredith posted, the iris & peonies are just awesome.....couldn't get into one per. garden because of downed wires, & it's really been too wet to do anything....here is rose Easy Does It....I put it in a vase to cheer me up...have been very bummed since Thursday.....

Karen, very nice photos!

Thanks, Marilyn!

Karen

Oh, Marilyn, I missed your post with that pretty rose pic. Sorry to hear that you've been so bummed. I hope things look up for you soon.

I took a few more pics in my gardens tonight after getting work done.

Karen

My pond....

I have a begonia flower floating in there.

Mini hosta 'Pandora's Box' with hosta 'Gold Standard'.

Karen, you have some gorgeous blooms going on there!

Robin, glad you didn't have any property damage and you're back on line with us

Thanks, Jen!

View of some of the back beds with Baptisia 'Solar Flare'. Won't be long now till they're bursting with color.

Salvia 'Blue Hills'

Last one for tonight. New planter with 'Silver Brocade' Artemesia, a nice burgundy red dahlia, and a calichabroa to match (flowers are closed up for the evening). Cousin Nut of the dahlia persuasion would be so proud of me.
