It's been a race to get the flowers in the ground before the worst of the heat is here for the summer. Since today and tomorrow it is supposed to hit 96 to 97 degrees, I tried to finish up with all those little pretties who convinced me to bring them home when I went to the nursery and garden center.
Along with the flowers and annuals, I like to add some flowering succulents. The succulents lend the beauty of their green leaves, and are so little work, so they have become a staple of gardening. And the fact that you can find some that either have really pretty blooms or in the case of the lovely stonecrop, its fabulous bright green works so beautifully with the greens of coleus and sweet potato vine.
Have a wonderful weekend!
See Y'All Soon~
Very beautiful! Mine are not as mature as yours yet. I have been making new containers this year, they do so well. One of the few plants even my hubby likes! xo..
ReplyDeleteHello Brooke,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend ... maybe with a little gardening!
Your pots look so pretty, Donna! I think I'm done for now myself with plants. At least until hubby decides whether or not we are doing a little patio off our front door area. If we do, I will probably need to get a couple more pots.
ReplyDeleteHey Kathy,
ReplyDeleteYou know there will always be one more pretty flower, or one more pot...LOL
A patio off the front sounds like a great idea! And an excuse of more flowers and pots.
Have a great weekend!
Donna,
