This is the Blue Daze I recently planted. If it does well I may see about using it along the side walk when Hubby gets around to making me a flower bed there.
My hydrangea is doing well, this bush has blue and lilac blooms on it. I have one in the green house that is a mass of pink blooms. Depending on how the new addition to the butterfly garden does, I may plant it down there this fall.
The Bugle Weed (Ajuga) is blooming. The leaves look nice next to the rock. I can't wait for it to spread and take over the entire bead. This color is Burgundy Glow.
I love the Texas Star Hibiscus. Next year I hope to have a bed of it and the Haight Ashbury Hibiscus together, I think they would make an interesting combination.
And last but not least the Queen Ann's Lace is blooming.
Many of our fur friends both feline and canine have passed over the rainbow bridge. Rest assured they have a plant in the Whiskers Memorial Butterfly Garden planted in their memory and their families are in our thoughts and prayers. And on a happier note two special felines who tied the knot have a Gardenia planted in honor of their marriage.
On a more mundane note we are adding a vegetable and fruit garden in hopes of cutting down on our grocery bill. Saturday we planted cantaloupe, watermelon, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, egg plant, banana peppers and a mystery plant that may be okra. And soon my blueberries will be ready to pick. It looks as if we will have a bumper crop this year.

What pretty flowers!!!!
Lovely flowers!!!! When Charlotte and I come your garden will be extra colourful.
What a good idea planting thse vegetables! You get to save as well as have yummy organic food. Home grown stuff always taste so much better.
Thank you meemsnyc.
MoMo you are so right fresh from the garden fruits and vegetables taste so much better then what you find in the store. I have become very disgusted with the produce in our local grocery.
Pixie asked if she could try the bananer peppers when they are all grown. I tried to explain that she would not like them.
You've got a great garden there! It must smell wonderful!
Have a great week!

Asta, it is so good to hear from you. We are glad to know your Daddy is getting better. Under your care we are sure he will get well super fast.
Daisy, Pixie is welcome to try a banana pepper. They are sweet peppers so she might like them, but we doubt it. They don't taste at all like bananas unfortunately.
Ana, yes it does smell good here. Especially with the gardenias blooming. They have a heavenly fragrance.

pretty flowers.
Cool flowers you have in your garden. I used to have many pots of hydrangeas around but the humid atmosphere is just not suitable for them. Wow.. your Texas Hibiscus looked great. It's our national flower here :)

My hydrangeas usually look stressed and don't do very well. With the onset of warmer summer weather I suspect these will start wilting soon. This is the best they have done in ages.
Hibiscus are such lovely flowers and so easy to take care of they are a pleasure to grow.
