Just for me...

Wildflowers picked from my garden by little hands

meant just for me.

The Sweetest Gift

My little friend came to the house the other day with a special gift just for me

She picked it all by herself

It was the most beautiful dandelion flower

Here is a closeup

Lola and i like to take walks and we notice all the different wildflowers we see on our way. She knows i love all of them, and brought me this flower as a gift from her own yard.

i love that she thought of me that way...

Fresh from the Garden!

We have some new stars in the garden this week!

Thank Goodness i didn't loose all of my bright yellow daylilies! This one has a very strong, beautiful lily scent....

And the wildflowers i transplanted last year came back full force! I am not sure what these little spikes of bell-shaped flowers are called, but i remember them growing in the shady side yard and along the sidewalks when i was a little girl. They bring back such good memories...I'm glad they decided to stay in the garden.

More phlox!

And here come the purple coneflower! They are as prolific as the tigerlilies planted here. In the next few weeks they will explode with color.

And a surprise guest! This modest sunflower was actually planted by the birds! Some of the sunflower seeds that fall from the bird feeders in the dog's yard, trickle down thru the tigerlily bed and have begun to bloom! Such a nice surprise!

And this morning i woke up to the first few morning glory blooms. I have been working very hard to transplant the old vines from the old torn down fence area to the new fence and it is working!

In a few weeks the whole fence should be covered with dark green heart shaped leaves and heirloom morning glory blooms. The hummingbirds and bees just love them! Thanks for visiting my garden this morning!
