I love godetia. They grow from seeds easily, and then volunteers pop up next year, never invasive, doesn’t need staking, even great cut flowers in a bouquet. I forgive it its lack of scent. Nothing is perfect, but these are a nine out of ten, for me. Okay, maybe only eight, because flower fragrance is so important, after all.

Went to meet a potential client and saw a gorgeous garden on the way. Here is a lovely hanging basket for you to enjoy.

I haven’t been taking enough pictures recently to have ones worthy of sharing, so I thought I’d look at last year on this date and see what I found. Voila! Some very nice ones. The first was taken at the Darrington Bluegrass festival, in a sunny moment. I do not know the name of the beautiful mountain.

And here are some daylilies that I grew in the Des Moines house. They are only in their third year here in the ground. Our new house in Normandy park will definitely have some of these, after the garden gets going.

Back at my old place, doing some gardening while waiting to sell it, a little drizzle was followed by a bit of weak sun. I saw a Peace rose glistening and had to run get my camera.
