Yellow Flowers
Dahlias and roses in the garden.
More Hydrangeas
The hydrangeas continue to bloom!
Strawflowers
Strawflowers in the garden. I planted the rest of last year’s seeds in the fall and they grew throughout the winter. They’ll bloom this year and then come back again next year; however, I’m curious if they’ll continue to bloom all year long in our mild climate.
Sweet Peas
Beaujolais sweet peas in the garden. They finally started to bloom–I planted them months ago.
Sun in the Garden
I have a collection of sun sculptures and decorations throughout the garden. What does a garden need? More sun.
Here’s one hiding in the sweet peas.
Warm Shades of Flowers
This year, I’m trying to incorporate a rainbow of colors in the garden. In the past, I’ve tended toward pink and purple shades. With the assistance of my clever 4 year old, I’ve incorporated more reds, oranges and yellows. The theme for this year: eye popping color.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas make me think of Cape Cod and the many happy summers I spent there as a kid with my family (including sharing a backseat with two large blue hydrangeas that my mom “had to have” for a long car journey). I have two pink hydrangeas in a new section of the garden, where I’m creating a cottage garden to attract bees and other beneficial insects into the rest of the garden.
