Late June Yard


We saw some interesting changes over the last couple of weeks in our yard.  Let's go see...

The sunflowers have just begun to bloom.

My sunflowers all came from this single dried sunflower!  Somehow the others got thrown out.   I realized I could use it during the winter in a vignette and this summer it's seeds were harvested!

Pink petunias are going strong, they came back in the pot they were planted in last year.

If we have enough blooms virtually every room has a bouquet.

  2. Jan,
    Your photographs are exquisite, dear friend!
    Like you, "Mr. Ed" saves the seeds and uses them for the next year's plantings.
    I've never been a fan of dahlias, but oh, how you tempt me with the big pink one!
    Fondly,
    Pat
