I have a lot of purple flowers in my garden, so I've been trying squeeze in a few other colours ... and non-colours as in white.

| Left: Peony / Right Top: Dahlia; Hens & Chicks / Right Bottom: Mock Orange Bush; Pentas ('Starcluster') |
Adding a few more interesting pots and containers to the mix as well. The rustic pot with the blue lobelia (below) was made by my great-grandfather who was a potter. The pottery stump planter (in the back of the same photo) was also made by him. He must have enjoyed gardening too :)
 |
| Clockwise from Top Left: Lobelia / Spiderwort / Miniature Rose / Rabbit / Dahlia |
The flowers in the watering can are doing great! I picked up a dark purple vine for the stump planter. It should look nice when it starts to drape over the pot.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy Gardening!

Hello Dear Wendy,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, and what a darling idea to use your watering can as a flower pot-your garden is magical and the colors are eye catching. You know your green thumb is really a good one!
Pinning this to my Lets Grow It Board~

I love your Grandad's planters, they are so nice! Especially the stump one - I know you like stumps as well as rocks! Your new flowers look great, especially the webby hens and chicks! I remembered! Hope you have a great time getting everything looking beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteI love all the interesting containers you have planted in.
ReplyDeleteeverything looks beautiful-lovely colors
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!! Makes me want to pull out all my garden décor. Somehow we haven't gotten around to that yet. You must love sitting out in the evenings enjoying the fruits of your labours.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Wendy! I really love all the white together in that "mosaic"!! I love all the colors too and I see a big peony ready to "pop" - love it!!
ReplyDeletehappy week to you xoxo
I also find I have more purple than anything at the moment...loved seeing your blooms!
ReplyDeleteAnd...spiderwort! They're everywhere! They're everywhere! ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful and I love the containers.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are gorgeous! I especially love the yellow rose and pink dahlia!
You sure make use of all available space Wendy and how nice to include the rustic pottery made by your grandfather. I have an old galvanized watering can like yours that sits on the rocks around the pond and has never been planted. I have a feeling if you were to tour my gardens there would be suggestions to plant up some of my yard art. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm off hosta shopping tomorrow with a friend, a gal in Barrie has a business in her backyard and I dare anyone to visit without leaving without at least one plant.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.

Your rustic pot is outstanding! As are all of your gorgeous blooms! I would love to participate in this as well! And that container that you have on the fence up there (the wooden one) is incredible! I think you have just helped me decide what I want to hang on my fence! Thank you for the inspiration Wendy...just so much beauty in your post today! Nicole xo

Your flowers are beautiful, Wendy. I especially love the first mosaic; the white flowers have the faintest greenish-yellow tinge to me, which makes them look especially fresh.

Lovely mosaics Wendy! I often think summer is at its best in June.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers, Wendy! I wish I had your ability to grow such an assortment. I am kind of going with what the previous owners of our cottage had planted, with a few extra things thrown in here and there.
