Closeups

Since it is too early for the flower beds to be lush and full of glory, thought I'd do a few closeups.

Petunias: These are in a container next to the front door.
Rhododendron: This bush is huge -- must be at least 15 feet tall in the back yard. I got it for my mom one Mother's Day about 25 years ago.
More petunias: Love petunias--they can take full sun and just seem to thrive all summer.
Pansies: Such happy faces. These little guys keep Keebler company by the front door.

Wow! So pretty Augie. I must plant some rhododendrons. I've seen blue flowers around here and think they would be so pretty.

Love pansies. We usually plant them in the winter. I think I planted some petunias last year.

I can't wait to see pics of your complete gardens.

I love your flowers. I need to have a flower bed. I should plant some flowering bushes, too. What's the point of having a big yard if I don't do anything with it, right?

Lovely, Augie! I especially love the rhododendron. I planted a ton of pansies last week. I love all the colors they come in.

I hope you are having a great vacation!

I too love your photos, Augie.

Petunias need too much sun for my shady yard, so I will just vicariously enjoy yours!

I also have 15' rhododenron envy.

Our rhododendron never looked very good. Your flowers are beautiful. Right now I'm flush with too many irishes. I'll have to go out and take some pics. I have some lovely lavender growing up around the mailbox.

Dh killed my pansies when he transplanted them.

I was thinking of you on Sunday as I planted some petunias and some new perennials in my rock garden. Your flowers are so beautiful that they inspire me to make my garden more colorful.
