  1. Rose, does obedient plant mind its manners in your garden? It doesn't in mine, but I pull a lot of it. Then, the silly stuff sneaks in in other places. However, that purple this time of year is most satisfying isn't it.

    Your yellows kept reminding me of sunshine.~~Dee

  2. Loads of beautiful blooms. I live the splash of color too and I see lots of rocks. Love that type of landscaping.

  6. Ruth- Did I say I was jealous of your fruit and vegs. I am.
    Dee- You know me- invasive doesn't phase me. It isn't in ideal conditions so it hasn't had much of a chance to go crazy.
    Garden walk.. Yep, lots of rocks. They do make gardening a lot easier as you always have structure to fall back on. Then there are limitations to what you can plant.
    Noel- Thank you. There are a few plants that are not so happy that I missed them out but this all takes too much time!
    Linda- Thanks. It was so obvious when I looked at what was flowering right now.
    Conscious gardener- Thanks. We are heading to a better season.

  9. Lovely blooms in your garden. I really want a Lindheimer Senna, in what conditions do you have yours? Your blackfoot daisies ar beautiful -- did you lose any in the rain? I lost two big ones - guess they got too wet.

  10. Ina- I know there is a translator function because I have used it on Le JardindeBemi. Let me know if you find out how to add.
    Diana-Too easy for words. I never plant them, they just appear. I'll save some seeds for you. I think you would need to put them in the gravel or granite. I didn't lose any blackfoot daisies but they are all growing in gravel or granite, too. They reseeded so heavily this year they are just one solid mass, although the plants themselves are a bit spindly.

  11. Everything looks great! One would never know your garden had been left alone for so many weeks. Thank you, Hermine! My blackfoot daisies are really profuse, too. My Mexican bush sage just now began blooming: has yours been blooming for awhile?

  12. That last shot is my favorite - always like seeing the profusion of color in your garden.
