Flowers For Father's Day

 


There are roses on our kitchen table this weekend. They came from our garden. 


June is a month of flower abundance and lushness. Here's some of what is erupting in our garden. 





We got the edges all trimmed again last week.

This bed in the lower yard erupts in June. 






Not all of our flowers are plants, but they are all planted. They are our creations as well. 






The stinky Voodoo lily is ready to open up. 





We'll be up early on Father's Day to try to get the hedge trimming done before it gets too hot. Then we will probably just wilt for the rest of the day. We spent good time with our kids and grandkids recently, so no celebration is planned. 

I hope you are having a good last weekend of Spring. Summer officially starts Sunday evening. Our first day of summer is forecast to be hot. 

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads.

    That's an amazing bouquet taken from your own yard. After that it's wall to wall blooms in your yard.

    I always enjoy seeing your garden. Do you have to put your voodoo lily into the greenhouse during winter or can it survive your winters?
    Happy Father's Day Tom.

      The voodoo lily is a hardy perennial here. It dies down to the ground and leaves no visible sign, and then pops back up in the spring. It also multiplies and forms a rather large club.

    What a lovely garden that changes and keeps growing...we are about done with blooms now oleander and roses done but a crepe myrtle is blooming. Not much but anything green is appreciated when it's 106+ degrees!

    Such a wonderful garden! Edging the yard really makes it better - like putting a mat board and frame on a painting.
