A Peony For Your Thoughts

Although there has been precious little rain here lately, things are really filling out (thanks to copious amounts of watering!).  I thought you might like to see what is bloomin' around here (since I have nothing else to share at the moment!).  So...without further ado, here are some of the stars around here:

Those of you who have these lovely plants know how sweet the scent is.  They bloomed so fast that I didn't have time to bring any inside; but, they did put on a show for the neighborhood!


The boxes on the deck are filling in nicely; I couldn't bring myself to shear back that beautiful trailing lobellia!


The Asiatic lilies are popping out, too; these are the first!


The clematis is full of buds and blooms!



The Annabelle hydrangea is thinking about blooming soon!



The apples are actually getting ready for fall, way up high in the old apple tree!


A butterfly stopped by to perch on the shadow of a leaf on the wall of the old chicken coop!




And the fuschia is happy on an old cherry picking ladder under that old apple tree!


I hope that all of you are having a fabulous weekend!  The Headmaster and I are taking off this aft up the Peninsula to see a production of  "Opus" at Peninsula Players!  It's one of our favorite things to do in the summer!



The Headmistress will be attending some of these fabulous gatherings this week; thanks to all of the lovely and talented hostesses!

  4. Hi Nancy! You're one partying gal! :) Your plants and flowers look so pretty! You have some plants we just can't grow here because it's too hot! Thanks for popping in to see me.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

    1. Hi, Shelia! I go a little 'nuts' up here with the plants and flowers; we can't grow a lot of them in Louisiana, either!
