Flaunting My Flowers August 20, 2009



An endless summer hydrangea, second year



Tootsie, at
http://tootsietime.blogspot.com/2009/08/fertilizer-friday-flaunt-your-flowers_20.html
is hosting the weekly flower flaunting event. It is so much fun to see flowers from a variety of climates.
Here is what is blooming in our garden this week:


A rabbit, enjoying silver toned plants:




A view of the back garden:




Dahlias




This is a nice compact plant, but I can't remember it's name. I 'll plant it again, as it is very reliable.

OMG, Girl, your gardens are awesome! I was happy to see your nice endless summer and if you can grow it well in Canada, I sure think we can grow it in Minnesota. A friend of mine said we can't. HA. Guess she was wrong! Anyway, I really, really enjoyed your pictures.

Beautiful blooms, The last plant photo is a diamond frost euphorbia,
they do well indoors with bright light during the winter months.
Happy FF!

You have a beautiful garden, Millie, I would love to see it some day. Perhaps you can teach me something about gardening, I know so little because I have seldom had a flower garden. Right now we are concentrating on our lawn, it was long ignored by the people we bought our house from and needs lots of TLC to look like a lawn. Hugs, Cindy S

What an absolutely gorgeous back garden you have! To die for!!! Love Endless Summer. I love Hydrangeas anyway but that's really a pretty one. I had that silver foliage plant once - it's really nice but only an annual here.

Hi Millie, Thank you for your sweet comment on my flower box. I am really hoping to find the lady at the Purple House home so I can ask her if she minds me blogging about her house. I knocked at her door the day that I took the pics, but she did not answer. I will try this evening on my walk to the Library. Hugs, Cindy

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
