For the Tuesday Garden Party even my latest stitching features some plants!
The recent rain has meant that I can wait a bit before watering the flowerbeds.
The plants seem renewed and invigorated by the rain water.
The nasturtium leaves collected drops of rain.
And the deer trimmed the plants to expose the flowers.
I still need to water the Front Porch Plants.
This fuchsia is loaded with blossoms and is a hummingbird magnet.
Amazingly the foxgloves are still in bloom.
My violas are happy with the cooler temperatures.
They're big enough now I should move them to larger pots.
I have three clumps of Rudbeckia and though the deer and have pruned them hard two or three times, the plants have responded by branching out and rewarding me with tons of long-lasting flowers.
That Tabby Cat is soo sweet! Love it! My foxgloves are still going too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cat and all the flowers. Black-eyed susan is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that finish!! I love the little blue bird perched on the cat's back.
ReplyDeleteYou must be getting our rain, Beth--things are so dry here. We've only had 1/4 inch of rain all month!
