Welcome To My Garden

When I pulled into the driveway today I noticed that the planting beds by the front door were really colorful.  They inspired me to grab my camera to document all the flowering plants in the yard.  Here are a few of the highlights:


I purchased a six-pack of alyssum plants from the garden center six or seven years ago. Since that time they've self-seeded and come back every year.


Balloon flower blooms only last for one day, but there are a lot of them and the display goes on for weeks.


This may be a plain orange "ditch lily", but when you look at the flowers up close there's nothing plain about them.


The phlox has just started to bloom...it's stunning this year!

      I wonder if they eventually run out of steam?

    I love the purple flowers!

    Last weekend I went on the annual garden tour. It was a big reminder that I really need to take better care of my own yard. lol

      Having a beautiful garden is a full-time job...one I don't really take seriously.
