    Teka- always so nice to see your pics! Glad you were able to shoot the poppies before the rain crushed them. The salmon color is beautiful. And I simply must get some peonies. I had some in my Pennsylvania garden years ago. I'm moving to a new house in about a month. Maybe I need to get myself a housewarming present! Though they probably wouldn't be available until later in the year? Or even spring. Dunno.

    Anyway, the old fashioned white is classic, and classy. Just like the rest of your gardens! Thanks for sharing!

    You look great and so do your posies! It's always fun to see what chemo did to your hair. Mine is stick straight and ashblond - it came back curly and grey after chemo! It was fun having curly hair. Then it straighened out again - back to normal. My Aunt said hers was even thicker and more wavy then she started with! So keep us posted on what new hair do you get! Congrads on being FINISHED! Whoo Hoo!

    Very pretty. Are the roses low maintenance? We have some that never require anything.

    Happy 4th of July 🎉🇺🇸🎆 ! I love seeing all of the photos and hearing from nature lovers from so many places. It's like having pen pals!

    Hopefully I will be sending another bluebonnet pic from my front yard, taken in March. Y'all reminded me of how lucky I am to live a few miles from Ladybirds Wildflower Center. It is an inspiring place, year round. When her funeral procession passed from Austin to her burial place in Johnson City, Texas, the road was lined with thousands of people. I was honored to be one of them.

    If you remember I decided to plant my pots in multicolors this year. I think I like it. image

    imageThese poppies are weeds in my onion patch. Years ago I planted some of the pink poppy seeds, and every year I let some of them go to seed and I end up with many of them - I weed out many, and leave some because they are so cool.

    Flaviarose- I am coming up there to live with you! Your gardens are outstanding! But then again, there is the winter in NE so I might not stay....

    Sorry I have not had anything interesting to post. Summer heat is taking it's toll on the gardens. I was out back tonight giving my flowers some plant food, pruning, etc. and the gardens themselves seem okay, but the potted plants are withering. We have summer rains starting, but some things will need to be pulled out and new things replanted. So it goes in the hot summers in the desert.

    Thanks, jazzy girl. We have had great gardening weather - we had a fairly dry May and June, but in July we had quite a few rainstorms, so everything is green and lush. It has finally gotten into the 80s for daytime high temps - we've had some Canadian weather coming down. You are right about winter here - it is LONG and BRUTAL. We have a 6 month winter, and the other 3 seasons crammed into the other 6 months. It does make one appreciate summer.

    Flaviarose: another jealous gardener here, not just of your gardens, but of your photography skills.
