MORE THAN VEGGIES

Flowers have brought such joy to my life, I decided that they deserved their own post.  Here is just a smattering of some I have grown (or cut from the woods) over the years.  Enjoy!

Cosmos are a delight.  They are so fragile, but so so vivid in color.

Another "Jack-in the Beanstalk."  It's actually a Runner Bean plant that hubby trained to go up a very tall pole.  

Lavender, my favorite.  I haven't always had success with it, but finally have a plant  that has made it through a few winters.

We've had some extremely tall sunflowers.

Gotta have zinnias!

Passion flower that our daughter gave her dad.  Unfortunately it only made it one year.

Violas come up wherever they want every summer.  They are like Johnny-jump-ups, but larger.

They previous owners of our house must have thinned out their daffodils and thrown the bulbs in the woods behind our house because every spring there is a huge patch of them out back.  I have to walk through some pickers to get to them, but it's worth it.

Assorted weeds from our property.  The awesome pitcher was a wedding gift given by a friend and made by a local potter,  Virginia Sheret.

Lilacs from the neighbor's.

Day Lilies
