Flowers and Beds

Just a few photos of my hard work this past week.....



I forgot to plug my fountain in before taking the photo!!

Datgum!!


I can't wait for all of the flowers to start growing and filling in.....Gonna be beautiful.



I'm really pleased with this small bed.....It's a very difficult place to work with, but I think this will do!!  



The old wash tubs.......This is near a seating area on the side of the house...   


Front left corner......about 3 feet from the edge of this bed, is a Forest Pansy Red Bud tree.

This particular tree has leafs that turn a stunning color of Burgundy...





Rich colors in the vincas.


My old pot of "Hen and Chicken"

The "Golden Elm" is a tree of beauty....

at least once and sometimes twice a week, we have people ring our door bell to ask what kind of tree this is!!
I had two people stop by yesterday!!

It is stunning!!


Happy Memorial Day......

Pray for our Military guys and gals....

  3. Your yard is wonderful! Pictures three and four are my favorites, but the fountain in the first picture is gorgeous!!! This large elm is yours? Superb! I would hang a rope swing from it and picnic under it. It is a beautiful tree. Do you know how old?

  4. I see you've planted some Mexican Heather. I had some in my garden, but it was starting to take over so I pulled it out. I do miss it now. Great job on your flower beds...loved the fountain design and colors. Your golden elm tree is really quite beautiful.

  5. You should have a spectacular display once the plants fill in.

  6. I don't plant a lot of flowers because I let my chickens roam free...and I have all manner of flowers right now, if you count the blooms on the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes and cukes!
    Once those are gone...hardly any flowers. :/
    I planted a red bud tree like yours last year...and Man! how it has grown. I actually have some of those beautiful burgundy leaves on my small little tree.
    Enjoyed seeing your garden.
