Doing the Wave with Petunias

I'm so glad that someone figured out how to come up with Wave Petunias, because I love them!! 


I had some trouble finding them this year.  The planting date that everyone goes by here is Mother's Day.  We were going to be out of town right around there, so I waited until Memorial Day to buy them. Boy was I shocked that they were really hard to find!  Luckily they had just put some out that morning at my favorite nursery.  The colors were limited to purples and whites.  I would've preferred to have more pink flowers, but beggars can't be choosers, right?! 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have them in pots on my driveway and on my back patio.  They are blooming like crazy and are just so much fun to look at!

 

 

 

Here's Bailey doing his wave!  "Hey, I just came in 20 seconds ago, but now I must go outside again!"  :)

 

 

 

 

What are your favorite flowers for pots?

Spring in the Front Yard and a Ramsign Giveaway!

 

 

 

 

A few weeks ago I removed a boxwood hedge that was blocking off an area by our front door.  Although they were healthy, they had gotten way too big and it was time for them to go!

 

 

Luckily, I have a friend who wanted them.  I was so glad.  They were huge and would be a nice addition to their yard.

 

So out with the old....

 

 

And in with new perennials and annuals.  And in with the Weeping Cherry (that was there all along) blooming like crazy!  :)

 

 

 

I am very excited to watch this area grow this summer.

The Front Yard in Bloom

I love gardening and would do it everyday if I could.  Unfortunately, for about six or seven months out of the year, it's not possible.  When my flowers are blooming, I am in heaven!  :)  I planted the perennials  last year and am happy with the way everything is filling in.

This is the area along my driveway.  There are coneflowers, daylilies, daisies, cosmos, lavender, lamb's ear, snapdragons and artemesia in here.

 This area has cosmos, rose of sharon, coreopsis,  and cranesbill.

 The bees love the coneflowers and lavender.

We've had very hot weather and some very windy days, so I'm counting my blessings that everything is blooming as well as it is. 

Thanks so much for coming by!
