| A pretty Monarch visiting my lilacs, taken on Instagram |
As you may already know, I love flowers and naturally I love gardening. Well, I should say I like the end result of gardening; if I could skip the getting covered in dirt from head to toe while burning my skin to freshly boiled lobster crisp part, that would be dandy! That being said, I wanted to share with you some pictures I've taken now that the flowers and plants are really taking off! I excluded photos of my
tulips since I'm sure you've seen enough of them in past 365 Project posts!

A flower garden staple: petunias!
The pretties in my flower ring minus the lavender, which hasn't bloomed yet.

| You cannot beat the smell of lilacs! I'm glad I invested in re-blooming plants! |

Well I hope you enjoyed a little virtual stroll through my garden! As summer progresses and new flowers bloom, I'll be posting more pictures!
Such beautiful pictures. I'd love to hear more about your water garden. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! My water garden consists of water lettuce, creeping jenny and I forgot the name of the tall plant in the middle. I've got two little goldfish in there as well that I got from the pet store (and rescued from being eaten since they were feeder fish).
DeleteHoly crap you've been busy! These are all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes I have and thank you! Many are perennials but I keep adding more and more plants every year. I just added blueberry bushes to an unused part of my veggie garden and planted my monster tomato plants (ironically they're cherry tomatoes but the "baby" plants are massive). Pretty soon I won't have any grass, it'll just be one big garden, lol!
DeleteHi Heather: So much beauty. You must live in heaven. Dragon's Blood Sedum, Hot Pink Thrift & Hot Pink Impatiens. I like fuchsia/purples. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteGot any spare time to sort mine out? I'm an expert at growing bind weed and dandelions!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty good at growing dandelions too, they plague my lawn all spring despite all the weed treatments!
DeleteVery very nice! :) I wish I had a garden to blog about myself! Those flowers are wonderful and I bet you have a lovely place to sit down in all that nature you grew yourself and it brings you peace and keeps you relaxed and happy. Good luck with more plants and garden projects! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Ironically I used to hate gardening as a kid, but now I love tending to all the flower beds knowing that they're all so pretty because of my care :)
