Another Posting.....

I don’t remember the name of this zinnia.  I bought it to fill in a space in my rows. I really like it and I can’t imagine how they genetically created it. I have seen only two blooms of this kind so far but there is time for more of them to bloom.

Some of this clematis is vining onto a red twig dogwood branch.  I could see that I am to going to get off of there so I will just be glad it is vining and blooming. I like all the shadows in this photo of the   vines and leaves.

At the bottom of the stairs on the north side of the house I have added things the past two years creating an informal country garden. Recently I planted some Stella O Dora lily with I am hoping will set in during this summer.  I had never moved any of it and decided to just dig a small chunk of it on day when I was mowing up north. Another day lily was put in on the other side of this arrangement so it will keep growing. I never liked mowing there anyway so the plants save me from doing so.

I replaced a lot of the sand under the steps but I don’t have much of it washed into the cracks yet.  I am walking a lot of the sand around which is helping it to set the bricks in place. I will go back and work on them on another time.

Thanks for stopping by today.
