In a previous post, I showed you the first wave of blooms in our yard. It has now been spring for a few more weeks and new and different flowers are gracing us with their shining faces. That is part of the fun of perennial flower gardening, trying to set it up so that there is never a time when something isn't blooming. It's a challenge, but fulfilling. Of course adding a patch of zinnias helps mix in some color. You'll see here that the zinnia patch is photographed first as it is just budding, then this week as it started blooming. You'll see the front porch without, then with the Boston ferns that give it such a breezy appearance. The next challenge will be to keep them alive when these torrential rains stop and it gets hot and dry. That sounds like a fairy tail as I listen to the thunder crashing for yet another night. I hope you enjoy these flowers half as much as we do. Remember with blogspot, if you click on the pictures, they get larger. Blaine's poor copper arch is now completely shrouded in wisteria vines, which I have to keep trimming back to keep them off the satellilite dish. Oh, in some of the pictures, the wegalia is still in the pots... oops!
