Wow..I love this time of year - when all the flowers are peaking and a virtual explosion of color greets me when I come home from work..
My backyard is exploding with color today..
a view from the other side...
oh, and look - the 3 faces of Versi Orange... and can you see that tiny little pod forming??? That was just a whim - my first ever try at pollinating. I crossed VO with some pollen from Citronella and I think it took!
and Insignis Pink opened her first 2 flowers for me!

You have a lovely back yard! It is all so neat and well-taken care of.

Diane, you plants are beautiful. I love your house and garden.
Lets move in there Ada.
your plants all look so good, and your blooms are wonderful.
Wow Diane it is all so neat and beautiful looking
Hi, everyone -
LOL Kell - you are welcome to move in ..but I don't think you would like winters here..so sad when we have to haul all this to the compost heap come mid-October and start all over again under the grow lights in the basement for next year.
Here 's a couple more pics I took today that I really like...
Diane
a view of of the brugs in the watering trough and my sunflowers growing against the barn...
The new garden peeking up from behind the wall...
Love watching this unfold Diane., I might just come for the summer. LOL
Your first picture is so nice. I esp like the sunflowers against the wall. Sunflowers are so cheerful. Everything is so beautiful.
You have a lovely home and property, Diane. It looks like the perfect place to a fairy tale. Your gardens are so neat and orderly. It is just beautiful!!!!
Fairytale is the word.The touch of Morning Glory is a precious touch; there is nothing like it in England, either.
And -- this is a working girl !!!!
Diane, all your pictures are beautiful, but I especially love the one with the blue morning glory. It looks like a picture from a fairtytale book.
Diane, if I were you....I would quit my job and spend every waking hour in the garden. You and your husband have certainly achieved 'What dreams are made of'!!! Way to go.....you & your pics are inspiring!
Inspiring, INDEED!!! Great job...why aren't the magazines clammoring all over your place??? I expect to see your Garden in Vogue!

I can see it being a movie set too. That would be something.
