Flower Garden

When the temperatures reached 108

taking photos was the only kind of

"gardening" I felt like doing. . . .

so take a stroll--

I can grow cannas in pots--

just not in the ground!!

Sorry, mom!

I think they are some of the most

beautiful flowers--

my other favorite--peonies--

had already blossomed!

The sound of the waterfall

helps me pretend I am in

the tropics!!

All of these flowers also add to my illusion

(delusion) of a tropical paradise!!

I love when the calla lilies

ACTUALLY have flowers!!

For the sake of accuracy, truth

and keeping it real....

I will admit I didn't have success with

my Gerber daisies!

And...

this is the third (and last) year

I have tried fuchsias--

I think we have too much wind...

what do you think?

Not only do flowers live in our garden

but so do a few "characters"

Smiling buddha-head

The biggest koi fish to never swim in the water.

And the ever speedy turtle!!

And what would a garden be without a

"witches" ball--

If you look close you can see our house in

the reflection--cool!

Hope you enjoyed your stroll through our

garden--

It's only going to be in the 90's this weekend-

so I guess I HAVE to start weeding soon!!
