What’s blooming on Friday the 13th? It’s a good luck day in the garden! Long-blooming perennial time now and the garden is full.
The knockout rose is starting to bloom again.
I also have buds forming on the scentimental bush as well. The second flush is always smaller than the first, but looks like there will be a good number of blooms.
I know I knocked on petunias when I talked about doing this planter, but these have really grown on me.
Such an unusual color. Of course, I love the planter, too, which helps.
The armeria keeps sprouting up new plants. I am going to deadhead these and see if they come back next year. Excuse the watering can – that’s what I was doing 😀
Close up.
A few more close up blooms. Gaillarda
My lilies, which are still going, although not as prolific.
And the milkshake coneflower.
My globe thistle is almost in bloom here.
It’s in the hard prickly stage now, but it will get little bloom bursts on it.
We have a little visitor that has been sleeping in the garden at night for the last few nights.
I hope she belongs to someone, but I am not sure. Pretty skittish. Must not try to make friends… must resist…
My butterfly bush is finally blooming. It’s about a foot shorter than normal, but at least I still have it.
Full view – avoiding the crispy part of the lawn. It’s always green in a ring around the garden because of watering the garden. We don’t bother with the lawn because it just goes dormant.
Driveway angle. That’s my new flag in the corner there as well.
You can see the butterfly bush really well in that picture.
Have a great weekend everyone! Stay cool 😀
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! That milkshake coneflower name cracked me up! AND I thought Pixie got out due to the colors of that cat!!! :-O Have a great one Lori!
Lovely! You make me want to garden…yea…someday. Have a great weekend!
Garden looks great! Ooh, I think that is Pixie’s long lost sister!!
Your garden is magnificent!
soooooooooooooo pretty and precisely why I cant lament my allergies too too much.
so beautiful 🙂
If I lived there, I be totally USELESS! I’d spend all day long sitting on that porch looking at the flowers and watching the world go by!
I wish I could sit there all day. Actually, during the day it is too sunny to sit there because of the angle of the sun. Mornings and late evenings are the best time.
I like the look of the petunias…great colours.
Your visitor is too cute!
I had the same thought as Debby.. looks like she could be related to Pixie! I always feel so badly for pets that I see outdoors.. especially with no identification 🙁 I hope she has a safe home!
You have an undercover kitty! 🙂 Perhpas a long lost cousin of Pixie, based on the coloring… Not as fluffy as Pixie of course.
I also thought it was Pixie 🙂
Your garden is so beautiful!
