English Breakfast Dahlia

She's a beauty!

Lupine

A few weeks after I took this picture, some creepy white bugs took over and ate my beautiful Lupine. :(

Stop and smell the roses

It smells as just as pretty.

Never done weeding...

Lupine, white Surdiva and pink Million Bells

Hens and Chicks

The rhodies are so pretty when in bloom, such a sticky pain when they're not.

Didn't get very many tulips or daffodil blooms this year. Maybe some better soil and compost will produce more flowers next spring.

The husband will get a mow in if it ever stops raining.

I guess the late trim on the roses didn't harm them too much.

Done weeding

Grassing, is more like it. There is a lot more grass growing in my flower beds than there are weeds. Not sure which is worse.

I may have waited too long to trim the roses back this spring. We'll just have to wait and see.

My mom and Nephew Keegan made this.

Grow already!

Pretty.

Growth

I guess one good thing about all of this rain is that we save money on our water bill.

Mother's Day

Tony's had a sale on hanging baskets - buy two get one free. I picked up this fuschia for my mom, a pink Million Bells basket for my sister and Camille got an orange Million Bells basket for me.

These flowers are so beautiful.
