Still Here!

It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything other than a book. It’s funny how time slips away and you get too busy. I’m still here in the background drawing, gardening, and living life. Praying everyone is safe during this pandemic.

What's Blooming: Gardening 2017

It's the little things that bring joy to my heart. My flowers are one of those little things. I haven't shared any garden pictures this summer, here are a few pics from this year. New addition purple pampas grass with lovely birdbath in background.

What's Blooming in my Garden

Look at my beautiful flowers! I'm so happy that the winter did not damage them as I thought.

What's Blooming? Hosta's & things

I have a few varieties of hosta's in my backyard. Which I love. I have a beautiful pink rose. I planted some phlox in my antique wooden planter. The daylilies are in bloom. My hydrangea is suffering from southern heat and one of the coleus that I experimented with by bringing it inside for winter is slowly looking better, however the color isn't as vibrant.

 I love to grow plants in pots. Here are the perennials growing in my garden.  Remember my lantern, this is what it looks like at night with a tea light in it.

What's Blooming & New Terrarium

Clematis

 I was so excited that my Clematis bloomed this year. Last year it did nothing. I also had a different species of potted Phlox that bloomed.

 The beautiful glass terrarium came from an estate sale. I couldn't believe when the owner said ten dollars. The original price tag of $239 was still on it. The coleus is an experiment. I read that if you brought it indoors and put it in a south facing window that it would survive the winter. It did. My hopes are to turn it into a topiary like this one found at flickriver.com.

Spring: What's Blooming 2016?

 I have the typical southern flowers growing in my yard. I'm so happy to see them blooming. We had a cold winter and some of my plants did not make it. I failed to bring them indoors, because they have survived past Georgia winters.
