wren- so, you're a painter. Painting flowers is a real challenge. Can you post any of your artwork?

Its a variety of ice plant. They make great ground cover & do well in drier climates.
Oh but look at this- my neighbors century plant is about to bloom. This flower stalk is already 7-8 ft tall and has the coolest flower on top when it's done

Jazzy- century plant, are those the ones that bloom once and then die off? Or Is that just a myth? So cool!

Peachy- yes, that's true. Same neighbor had one bloom on another plant a few years back. After it died though, there were small ones found underneath

Looks like it, but the folaige is far from being lacy.

The century plant has many different names. They usually live 15 to 20 years and die after flowering. They almost always have several off shoots which will thrive and live for a long time. Hurricane Irma destroyed my 2 Century plants. I didn't bother replacing them because they have very long thorns. My not so smart retriever Ted would chew on the plant and end up with a bloody mouth. That did not stop him from chewing on the plant. I miss the beauty of the plants but I don't miss the vet bills.

I love the tiny little flowers that show up in the spring. I noticed some tiny violets at the edge of the driveway. I'm so tempted to dig the little plants up to put in my lawn. I was raised right though and so far have resisted.

Yes Meow, GORGEOUS!!!
My photo is not spectacular. But it does represent a huge accomplishment. I spent 3 very hard days last fall, in 90 degrees, in 15 minute sessions, planting these 9 rosebushes. They survived and opened up many blooms this week!!!

Thank you all for your kind words.
Put this planter together today. Did 3 more, some simple, some complicated. Resting now and will be sore tomorrow. So worth it. I literally "smelled the roses" this morning while I had my tea on the front porch. Heavenly.

please keep the photos coming. We are taking a break from gardening this season as there isn’t time to take care of it. Planted a handful of flowers but no “food”. Suppose that will be good for the soil. Will be living thru your work this season

Gumdoctor, pretty rose garden. I know that was a lot of work. Put down a bunch of mulch and the weeding will be easier. I have now learned don't dig up a bed unless I am going to mulch it. Still I feel like my entire weekends are mowing and weeding.
I moved my fairy garden from a container into the bed with the irises and used some plants and rocks that I already had to make a little yard. I made a little fire pit on the left so all the fairies can come by for a bonfire and Game of Thrones tonight.

Two hobbies- I love your fairy garden. I love GOT too.
I want my own dragon, I have a place for it to live up in the volcanic caves up on the mesa across the street from me. Do you think it can work?

Jazzy, who is going to tell you no to the dragon? Dracarys, city council! I am really going to miss GOT, and nothing surprises me more than to say that. I don't watch much TV, I had a hard time getting through all the violence initially, and here I am hooked and sad it's over and can't stop re-writing the last couple of episodes in my head. It has been a fun thing to share with my 22 yea old son. Now back to real life.
