This is our patriotic welcome to our home.
I loved these flowers when I first saw them. They are called Daybreak and they open when the sun comes out and then close at night.
My orchids finally bloomed! There is a bit of a story with these. John's Mom gave some bulbs to me about four years ago and they were left in the same Wal-Mart bag through that first fall and winter in the garage. The next spring she asked me if I had planted them. No. With good intent, I moved the bag to the backyard for planting. Still never happened. Then I started a garden way out back and left the BAG outside all summer and that winter and still never planted them. The summer she lived with us, I finally planted them. I am not sure if they bloomed last year, but I have about 4-5 blooms now! Talk about tough little plants!
This snowball bush was also from my mother-in-law. She had this bush at her old house here in Metamora. It was originally a bush that was planted at the home that she grew up in. Her mother loved it. It's still trying to adjust to being moved, but I think in a few years it will once again be a beautiful bush.
Pinks. Once my Mom told me that Tammy loves these flowers, I think of Tammy everytime they bloom. I need to split and move 1/2 of them this fall though, they have spread out so much.
I got the orange vining Black Eyed Susan plant and can't wait for its beautiful display once it has matured more.
The gorgeous Dahlia. Love 'em.
