Someone (usually someone's husband) will give directions and swear,

Actually that's usually me... Hehe
It should be interesting for sure. Her new neighbors are going to love us!

Or they will be afraid. Well it will depend on how you arrive at her new home.

This is today in the news, it's terrible to watch. So sorry...

I really think those responsible for the shoddy work should be prosecuted. So sad for those trapped..

Lovely verbena

Hollyhock - very pastely

alstroemerias

Cactus flower

Black raspberry. Not tarty at all.

Favorite of the day, neon delphinium.. has been with me for more than 10 years. Never very happy as it is baking where it is. The flowers are not so compact as my lilac ones, but hey, look at the electric neon blue...

 

[tbendl]

It's pretty so I have allowed it to continue growing. Waiting to see if it flowers or what.

Any chance this is a spider violet? I did have one planted in the garden awhile ago? Also called a
Cleome hassleriana?
@Logan I hope you're not so sore today. Planting always brings out the weird pains and aches with me. Like "I didn't know I had that muscle in my butt and why is it sore"? LOL
And @alp so pretty. Love the delphinium, I am a sucker for all the blue flowers.

 

[Logan]

@tbendl thank you, yes I've got muscles that i didn't think i had. I did some more this morning, but had to stop. I won't be doing any tomorrow, think i give it a rest. Do some more wallflowers and at 1.30 got appointment for physio and have the brase adjusted so i can bend it a bit more.

 

[alp]

Ah, thank you, @tbendl I had another blue one last year, but I thought snapping off the top bit would encourage more stems.. How wrong was I. I love NEON blue..

@Logan Good that you've more freedom. I have to book my physio.. We sound like some crippling geriatrics.. @tbendl Hope you don't feel out of place here. Haha!
