….happy birthday to my son-in-law, Brendan

….mid October and my Dahlia has 20 buds waiting to open


….my newest dahlia


…..despite the heat and lack of rain my established rose of Sharon bloomed like crazy

…..one of the few new flowers from my garden
Going away at the beginning of the summer and the unusually hot and dry weather didn’t fare well for any new bulbs that I planted this spring. The only flower that bloomed was my dahlia.


….in the back of my garden these tiny pink flowers haved bloomed this year

…..the most blooms ever




…..why is it that peonies always attract ants and earwigs?
