The first wintery blast of the season arrived last night. Here's a look at a few hardy blooms that survived the blast:

Blue Plumbago...

Another rose...

And yet another rose...

Laurie,

What beautiful flowers!!! I have to confess, my favorite would be your yellow and pink roses. I have always had a love of that color combination, though I'd NEVER turn down a rose of any color! The plumbago is also particularly beautiful. In fact, I just realized these favorites from your garden are in your header photo. We just have to meet one of these days!

Love, Marsha

Our year of flowers was very weak. Over the past few weeks the roses have bloomed again only to last a day or so. The weather here has been so up and down it has not been a very color prolific year. Thanks for sharing yours.
Your pictures are so well taken. What's your secret?
Blessings always,
Ginny

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
