MY FLOWERS

I love flowers but I do not have a green thumb. Every spring, I go out spend a bunch of money on flowers, plant them and by mid-summer I have killed them.

Here is one of my flower beds I planted mothers day weekend.

I am pleased to say I have found my green thumb.
I took this yesterday! Same flower bed & it is mid-July.
Isn't she a beauty!
Here is the front view of the same flower bed.


Now this is the matching flower bed on the opposite side of the drive way.
I also took this picture mothers-day weekend after I planted it.


And yesterday!!!
Next year I wont put snap dragons & marigolds in the same bed.
Colors don't mix well.


And the side view...
Can you tell how happy I am over my flower beds?

When I was all done with my beds I had a few flowers left over. I dug this pot out of the garage and planted them here. I love these blue Sylvina's. They always have a flower on them.

Go visit Angie at 7 Clown Circus for more great Wordful Wednesday post.
