This and That

Oak Leaf Hydrangea is one of my favorites--she never disappoints with her big beautiful cone shaped flowers.

Of course, MopHead Hydrangea are equally beautiful.  Hard to choose a favorite color with the blues, pinks and lavender.

This beautiful blue was hiding in the foliage.

The cone flowers in the curb garden are just beginning to bloom--the bees find them irresistible.

Jackmanii clematis is a very hardy specimen.

It's hard to have a bad day when primroses line your path.

The daylilies are just beginning to bloom.

Next Year, the garden thrives on neglect.  Have been especially neglectful of my gardening duties this growing season.  Several things, people, and situations have been keeping me preoccupied--some good some not so good.  Grandmother Bessie would smile and tell me it's called life.

Time to pull on those big girl gardening britches and tackle that growing gardening list of things to do.

  1. You have a beautiful collection of flowers in spite of your "neglect". I completely neglected my garden last year due to "life" and this year once the lilacs and iris had bloomed, all I have is weeds!! Wish my neglect looked like yours! : )

  2. Your flowers are beautiful! Every year I say I'm going to plant hydrangeas and every year I find myself saying it again. : ) Cone flowers are one of my favorites - they seem to grow and grow despite my neglect.

  6. Sorry to hear you've had troubles, several blog friends seem to have troubles lately. Your garden is glorious. I adore Hydrangeas - Lost all mine in 2 bad winters in a row. The oak leaf hydrangea is a beauty. I should replant but I keep resisting. Hope your hexie garden is growing too! Have a good week - Mel
