Flowers and stuff...

These are Beebalm. They grow each year too. Our beebalm garden is about 12x12 and the Hummingbirds and butterflies and bees like them. Behind the beebalm, on the fence is my Trumpet vine. You can see the orange buds. This doesn't bloom until the end of July and into August and September. It's a favorite of the hummers!


These are Honeysuckle vines, they come back each year. They smell wonderful.




These are Hollyhocks. They grow each year and they are beautiful too!!


This beautiful flower is my one and only blooming (so far) Morning Glory. It is a beautiful shade of blue/violet. I love morning glories and my husband and boy planted this for me this year.

Flowers

Yesterday just before suppertime, my son and husband were out in the backyard.

After a while my little guy came to the door and told me to close my eyes, that he had a surprise for me.

So, I played along and closed my eyes.

Then he said, "open your eyes" and he was holding these flowers.

In his little boy voice he said, " I picked these flowers for you from the back yard mommy".

It was so sweet.

Then he went back to playing outside!!

Flowers...........

This is a picture of fuscia.

Each mother's day I get at least two hanging baskets with Fuscia in them.

The hummingbirds love them.

We also have Honeysuckle vines, petunias and many many other flowers and shrubs and vines.

They are all for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, and bees. And it works.

We have a ton of hummingbirds around.

But what is best about them all, is the SMELL!!!!

When I walk out my front door I can smell all the flowers and it is a beautiful aroma to walk into!!

A Rose.......

This is a rose and a bud.

It's the last remaining Rose flower and bud that I have.

Fourteen years ago my husband planted about 5 Rose shrubs on the side of our house.

They didn't do well there and over the years they have all died off but this one plant.

Actually nothing does well on that side of our house.

This year I get two flowers out of the shrub!
