What beautiful flowers you have, and I LOVE your pond. I love how natural it looks and how the plants hang over the edges. I also have a pond and just love seeing how other people plant around theirs.
Pretty, Millie! Amazing how that copper mum is so similiar to the dahlia. Your pond looks great...I'm still trying to figure out how to create mine! Thanks for sharing ;) Lynn

Your flowers are so beautiful, Millie!!! I would love to see them irl. We will have to get together soon, I have my grandkids all this week, so perhaps we could meet some time later next week. That would be so nice. Hugs, Cindy S PS Be sure to check out my blog today and leave a comment.
Rhondi is hosting a porch party, and I am very excited about seeing decks, porches, etc. from many places, encompassing climates and decor of all sorts. We don’t have a porch, so we are welcoming you to our deck today. Please keep our Manitoba climate in mind, as you will notice our summer is just beginning, and plants are not very advanced yet. The afternoon sun is highlighting part of the table, and the rest is shaded by the umbrella. I have set the table in green and white, and because it will just be two of us , it is casual. Before the sun goes down, let’s see what else is on the deck…. another table with some lanterns and plants.. ..a bakers rack which I sprayed light green and which holds green plants.. ..a bench with more of the tropical print… …and a grouping of potted plants Looking out at the yard, the sun is streaming in from the West. the days are longer now and it is still light….at 8:45… …and now finally night has fallen…it is now 10...
I love hydrangeas, and although we can grow the Limelight and Annabelle varieties fairly easily here in Manitoba, it is only recently that with some luck, we can overwinter Endless Summer. Endless Summer blooms in pink in our lime soil, unless we feed it with copper sulphate to bring out the blue . Last week, after a rainstorm, I noticed how soft and pretty the colours were. I am joining in with Monday Mosaics at Mary's. What lovely contributions we find over there every week, and thanks, Mary! *****Click on the photo to enlarge*****
