Yeah, my garden is still a mess and I am resigned that it will remain so until next year. But there are still a few bright spots of beauty.
A volunteer sunflower!
Dried lavender flowers
The rose that survives no matter what.
The last hurrah of the Hydrangea
My garden is still a mess, and probably will be for the remainder of the year. I’m still not 100% yet, it’s too hot, and we’ve been traveling too much.
Luckily, I’ve done so much work over the past several years, much of the garden is self-maintaining, and doing well with benign neglect.

Monday we took Jeri & Vince to Cooper’s Rock. Since the weather was hazy, hot, and humid, we waited until late afternoon to go, and even so still didn’t stay long.
Despite the heat, it was gorgeous, and we had a good time. The only sad part was that because I’m still limping along, jumping and [...]
People must know I love flowers! Because I got flowers on Saturday!
Note: I did not take these pictures, Michael did. I’m not yet up for standing still, and I’m pretty sure taking pictures while balancing on crutches is an invitation for another trip to the ER.

Yeah, there are a couple purchased annuals in here, but I have a lot of flowers blooming already. (I cannot take a good picture of the lilac, but it’s blooming so heavily you can smell it all the way up on the porch.)

Most of my garden is filled with perennials, which is nice because it means minimal work for me, aside from keeping the beds clean. However, the deck was sorely in need to some type of color, so (don’t tell Grandmom) I spent a ridiculous amount of money yesterday, and with the excluding on a mature [...]

The best part about early spring bulbs is they come up with absolutely no effort on my part.

Since it was raining Monday, we went to the Krohn Conservatory. Which was fine with me, because conservatories have plants, and plants in the spring are flowering.
Needless to say, I went nuts.

Bleeding hearts coming up are creepy looking. That’s all there is to it.

Yes, summer ends this week. I’ve neglected posting pictures recently, because since I was sick, I’ve been badly neglecting my garden. Apparently, Michael (bless his heart) is unable to water plants or even mow the lawn when I’m feeling crappy.
So I don’t have a lot blooming right now; the lack of watering kept my Stella [...]
Last year I moved the black eyed susans; they seem to have taken off after their relocation.
I’ve been planting sunflowers at the back of my herb garden. Hopefully the desperately needed weeding and thinning out I did today will help them.
Almost accidentally we found flowers on the Washington Mall.

It’s been raining quite a bit here in Morgantown (I know, shocking) so despite the recent heat, the flowers are doing quite well.
We have two Rose of Sharon plants on the hill in front of the house. They are not growing as quickly as I would have expected.

These are from the beginning of the week when we went to The Garden of the Gods in Colorado. I took a lot of pictures, so you’ll need to click through to my Flickr set to see most of them.
I have Black Eyed Susans along the driveway where the bulbs come up in the spring. It works out quite well, since they black eyed susan foliage comes up just as the leaves of the bulbs are starting to die.
It is somewhat amazing this bee could even fly.
I still have some day lilies blooming.
Firecracker flower [...]
