Flaunting Flowers August 6, 2009

The summer is flying by so quickly, and the garden shows it! Every week new blooms emerge. Tootsie is the host of this weekly event, and her flowers can't be beat! There are some other beautiful posts on this subject, so head over there.

Here is a shot of our deck right now.
Monarda is blooming this week
Lysianthis is such a pleasing flower
Here is my herb pot, handy to the back door, for snipping a few sprigs.

Beautiful deck! This is my first year at growing herbs and I didn't know quite what to do - next year I'll combine in one or two pots instead of individual pots for each.

You have such pretty flowers and some that aren't so commonly grown. I love the look! How convenient to have your herbs all together and by the back door. Do you use them a lot?
Looks GREAT!

Beautiful deck. I miss having my container garden on the deck this summer. And I'll be borrowing your idea of having lots of herbs in one pot. What a peaceful setting. You'll find I say that a lot... because it's true. There's nothing better than sitting outside in a beautiful garden.

I've never seen a Lysianthis - it is so very delicate looking. I love your Monarda, I keep saying I have to get some every time I see it. Next year I will definitely have it on my wish list. All of your flowers are lovely - love the deck!

Party Day…Our Deck

Image
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...
