The Garden

The first time I came to the Northwest the Lobelia and Heather were among the flowers that stole my heart.

I had some prize winning Zinnias last summer. Our little squirel friends tried digging them up every morning. I ened up surrendering the Zinnias to them since they apprecited them so. Each morning I came to the garden, I just fixed the soil and surprisingly most of them survived.The squirels seemed to not like the Geraniums at all.

Dahlia is on my favorite list...very easy to grow where I live.

Another Dahlia...they come in many types and sizes. I grow the short ones for the tall ones can go over your head. Buchart Gardens has all the varieties.

I had a few nice Daisy like this one and in multiple colors. I paid a good price for them. I was able to keep them protected from the squirels TeeeHeeeee.

Petunia in my Midwest garden are a standard filler. I pick the colors same as those I post here.

A touch of Merigold are delightful.

For the color RED I always choose the standard Geranium shown here. However I do purchase The Martha Washington too when they are available.

Heather...I am having difficulty finding a good photo of Heather. This will have to do for now

What a gorgeous array of colors...

A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile,
available, and desirable, ioozing with nectar.
Its smell reminds us in ways of fertility, vigor, life-force,
all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth.
We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages,
we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with joy.​
