FLOWERS IN FULL BLOOM

I thought I would post some pictures of my flower garden. Everything is pretty much in full bloom now, so it is all downhill from here. They always look so good when everything is blooming. I hope everyone is enjoying this weather. Way too hot for me :)
My favorite time is fall and it can come any time.
Have a great day.

My little herb garden on my porch.....handy for barbequing

Flower garden in front of the porch. Everything is blooming except for the Tansy, late flox, and the fall mums.

You can see my newly painted chairs. Dan from Yesterday Once More told me that he had used the color "Kiln" to do a lot of painting at his place and I just loved the color. So I went to Home Depot and got some of that paint and I just love the way they turned out. I also painted my screen doors the same color.

My Hollyhocks in full bloom. The hummingbirds are going crazy over these.

My Hydrangeas in full bloom. They look awesome this year.

If you look under my flower cart, you can see my Australian Shepherd "Sydney". He loves to lay under there when it is hot outside.

Here is my screen door painted in the "Kiln" color.

Just a  few of my birdhouses that I have in my garden.

  2. Love your porch and flowers! I've had my Tansy for 3 years probably and it never blooms. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not.

  3. Janet, your porch and your flowers are stunning. My tansy hasn't bloomed yet, usually in August. Love the kiln paint, now you have me thinking. Enjoy!

  6. Janet, your flowers are gorgeous! The beds look wonderful with the rocks on the borders. You're right, the humming birds must be having the time of their lives with all of those blooms. The colour you painted on the door and the chairs really compliments the porch.
    Sydney!!! He's such a cutie pie!
    Great pictures! It all looks so lovely. I'm sure you're enjoying it very much.
