Here is one of my favorite garden decorations...A small wooden chair that hubby cut a hole in the center of for me to put a pot in. I change the flowers each year to something new...but for fall will continue to put yellow mums or purple asters in it. This year I put yellow and purple flowers...the yellow and strippy ones are my faves...Not sure what they are, but they are BRIGHT in person.






I got this plant from one of my neighbors down the road, she was thinning her garden out and told me that I could have some...it sort of looks like a "geranium" of some kind...I know it's not my favorite geranium "Johnston Blue" as I still want to get me one of those for this rock garden some time soon. Anyone know what this purple one is?

Here are the wonderfully blue "Baby blue eyes" that I got from my mother and father inlaws place...it spreads wonderfully and will look great when it does take up more room in the front of the garden.

TAKE A LOOK.....see all the "newer" greenery on my new "Scarlet Wonder" dwarf Rhodie. I was amazed at just in a month that it has that much new stuff on it. Wonder if it will bud again in the early summer? It had flowers on it when I bought it in early May.
