Mostly cloudy this morning. Perfect temperature for puttering outside. I was cutting down some flowers that had finished blooming and also pulling out some that had spread too aggressively. Namely Love-in-a-Mist ( Nigella). Of course I left some but pulled lots out and was on my way to the green bin ( I won't take the chance of putting them in our compost because of all the seeds!) when I saw how pretty a bunch they were. So in they came!
Took some pictures while I walked around the garden. There are 3 Clematis growing against the porch all are shades of purple. Hollyhocks grow on the left and also on the right of them.
On the left,behind the tall Daisies, you can just get a glimpse of the white Clematis.
We had to go to Walmart yesterday and I saw that they had marked all their outdoor plants 90% off. I had to be quick. ( DH was already in the store waiting for me) so I grabbed 3 pots, one of which was this pretty little yellow Lantana which will look much better after it gets used to its new spot. I could only carry the 3 (gallon) pots or I would have taken more!!
That is my day so far. I plan on getting some inside work done then look at old magazines on the porch. Thanks for coming by.
