Summer Flowers

Summer is coming to an end, sadly.

Days are getting shorter and evenings cooler.
Children are returning back to school.

I am sharing more of my summer flowers.

A follow up from my
Summer Garden Tour,
I posted a few weeks ago.

Love Lies Bleeding or Amaranths

planted in an old barrel

I started from seed.

Tansy - grows wild in this region.

Black Eyed Susans

Iceland Poppies started from seed and 

planted in front of the old hayracker

~The Backyard~

 Pump on a Stump.
5 large maple trees had grown together
and were cut down last Fall.

To view how they were cut, click here

Helenium and golden marguerite daisy, 
pretty growing together.

Another part of the stumps my sister Ann

made a "tic-tac-toe" game

 with her painted rocks, 
lady bugs and bees.
Sorry Ann, I set the game up wrong. 
The red lady bugs cheated,

 there's too many.
 I will replace one lady bug 

with a yellow bee. 
And retake the photo 

after the rain stops.

A repurposed old clock
I used as a decoration on this stump.
 "the hands missing in thyme." 

*************

"Hens and Chickens" succulent plants, 

have a little spot in the front garden.

Hostas

 A great ground cover and 

low maintenance plant.

I have many varieties.

Just living is not enough... 

One must have sunshine, freedom, 

and a little flower.
