some pics before it snows...



little lines inside this snapdragon. Never seen it before.


Asters


hollyhock
calendula?


Baby Lamb's ears; my first one

I like the colors, reminds me of an old tea rose.


Rain stained the flowers...

I hope you aren't an annual...

Don't know what that is but she better hurry up!

lovely flower garden


thanks for sharing the pretty pics of it, your growing season is shorter than ours,, it was very chilly last nite here,,, hold off cold and hate the s words, snow, sleet, slippery, I guess its ok if you never have to drive or go out in it, but wishing our season was a bit longer. Why cant spring and summer be the longest and winter the shortest,,? Im sure someone knows the answer to this question? blessings, Beth

Are you a collector of 'driftwood'? Seeing a lot of wood around those beautiful flowers....gives a nice contrast and makes a great backdrop for pictures.


I used to get the dead floating tree stumps for my mom when I was a kid and place them in the flower beds to give that extra little something. Now, she has grown her collection, and I think my dad would like to start burning some of it in the wood stove.......

? Which do you hope is not an annual? The morning glory or the pink snapdragon? Any-hoo, they're both annuals, bbut it is really easy to save their seeds. And sometimes they reseed themselves.
Yes that is definitely a calendula. They're also easy to get seeds from.
Absolutely beautiful flower pictures!

AWww you guys are so sweet! And Wrennie, the one on the lower right of the snapdragon, I have no idea what that is! Uh oh. LOL! And yeah...snow. It drizzled for abour 2 seconds yesterday...now it is 60 degrees. UGH haha! Colorado. Thanks for all the sweet compliments you guys! And I do have a lot of wood here, because I have those nasty Siberian Elms, and they drop branches like they are going out of style. I will show you a picture of my only peice of real driftwood. It isn't common here.
Hopefully you can see that....
Last year, one of my Elms decided to demolish my neighbor's dog house, chicken coop, and the roof of his house!!!He was so nice, he said don't worry about it...it would cost more to pay the deductible than to fix any of those things. He fixed his roof quietly and never asked for any money. What a nice guy!!!! So I never complain about the smell coming from his yard anymore LOL! (He has like 33 animals, and he's right above me by a retaining wall, so it drifts dowwwnnn ewww).

Snapdragons are pretty prolific with the seed, haha! Yay! I will have lots to trade.

I was wondering what was below and to the right of the snap. It's a small rosette of something. And I started picking some of the morning glories already. Scarlett I don't know which one you were waiting for seeds from, the balloon flower or the morning glories...? But I had to get on my hands and knees a little bit, to get the first ones that were done. They were at the bottom of the fence, and the pods were a light brown with black seeds practically falling out. Mandy sent me some too, so next year I will have something other than my plain ones. Double Yay!

Thank you for saying I take nice pics. Holding my breath to steady myself for the shot is now worth it. LOL!
