Deena, from Can I Be Pretty in Pink, also known as Sweet Annee, is hosting Tour for a Cure today. She asked that each of us show photos from our gardens this year and also post the click for a free mammogram button. Please be sure to visit Deena and check out Mr. Linky for more garden photos. Be sure to click on the free mammogram button just beneath my banner to help a woman get a free mammogram.
This is my Hibiscus.. We got this last year when Dennis's Dad died... It almost died in the winter but it made it and it seems to be enjoying the summer......... Time to repot in a few weeks...
They make beautiful flowers!
Just a mixture of things can be so lovely.........
Oh my favorite......... The peonie! What a thrill..... I want more!
Put them in your house in a little bowl of water......... The fragrance is wonderful!
Oh......My second favoirte , Hydraenga... Mine are blue this year, how did that happen?
I just planted two more........ and I think that ground cover at the bottom is called "snow on the mountain ?" any ideas?
That will go in my house this fall and make great decor!
Have you ever seen Hen and Chicks bloom like this? I bought this for Mom a few months back and it has gone crazy!
I have never seen this ever!
Oh..... These are the Iris from Grandmother's and Mother's garden........ My favorite place to sit.
I can still see Grandmother working her flowers, she is the reason that I love to dig in the dirt!
A rose is a rose by any other name........... This is my climbing Don Juan. My sweet hubby took this picture a couple of weeks ago......... It is full of roses now......... I do love my roses..

Denise,
I am so glad that you took part in Deena's Tour for the Cure. I love your garden, especially the iris that was handed down from your grandmother. It's wonderful to have plants from those who have gone home.
I have never seen hen and chicks with flowers before. These are very unique.
The reason the hydrangea is blue is because of your soil. I had a blue one but needed acidic soil for it to stay blue. It never did well, turned white and only bloomed once in seven years before it finally died.
I enjoyed touring your garden. So many beauties. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love and hugs for a wonderful day with your Dad.
Blessings,
Mary
I love the photo of the 'mixture of things'...it's very artistic and beautiful in your yard!

I love your flowers....we can't do the peonies down here...but they are fab! We had TONS of them in our yard in Iowa before we came south. I really miss them.
We just planted a new Hydrangea bush the other day. Can't wait for it to produce.
