The dry grass below show the evidence that I have been watering the flowers. I really like this particular variety. It must be popular as they seem to be the only choices to buy in pink and lavender.
The hardy geraniums are having a tough time out there in the front bed. I am having some volunteer cockscomb that will put out some blooms.
I tolerated these plants this summer while they grew up to bloom. I couldn’t identify them and cut them back as if they were weeds. I do now know they are butterfly feeders and will have to learn the foliage. As a farm boy seeing many weeds, they still look like weeds. The blooms are wonderful. You can see I have white and pink for colors.
Butterfly weed or Asciepsias was shared with me by Far Side as its identity. Thanks.
I need to move it all in a location where I can know that it will be growing and I won’t be pulling it out of the ground. A few stakes in the ground will help too. I did let it grow in the front garden and it looks good there. It is taller than everything else but it makes a nice accent plant.
This is the view of my flower garden from the side. I usually share the end view but this is the zinnia side of the patch. The sun was in the west and it gave everything a glow. I have mixed sizes, different planting times, of these zinnias. That are not fully grown yet. I had the taller screen on this side to keep the rabbits out but now I toolkit out leaving the shorter screens. That will help keep the plants from leaning out onto the ground like last year.
I am heading to the old place today. I am not excited about it but once I get in the truck and head northwest, I will be more energetic. I am going to put down a new tile square floor in the kitchen. I damaged a lot of the old floor with removing of the dishwasher. It will look newer and better with a quick tile floor being put down. It goes down fast. I need to go now to start that job. Thanks for stopping by today.
Looks like you highlighted it like you were going to copy it so you could paste it somewhere else.
