  5. Very nice.

    Green thumb? I thought this post was going to be about something that needed to be treated with antibiotics.

    Thank you for the pleasant surprise.

  7. Roses are red
    Violets are purple
    Your collage is sweeter
    Than maple syruple

    Boo. I know.

  8. I see you like containers. I really like to have flowers in containers too, but they are short lived here. It gets too hot, even in the shade of the patio. I would have to water four or five times a day to keep anything alive this time of year. However, I do have container flowers from February until May, and then again from mid-September until the first frost--if we have one.

  9. @erika, Cheers me dears :)

    @hootin, Thanks, I have been playing with a collage maker its very cool.

    @teena, Thanks :)

    @Crazy/Tisha, Yeah and made up with how they look. The mum is doing okay thanks for asking :)

    @Laura, The weather here has been weird as usual. From lovely sunny days, to howling wind, to rain, back to sunny again. I hope it doesn't mess with the flowers too much. Loved the award and what you wrote :)

    @Da Old Joe, I love that you know me so well as to expect a septic thumb. You can dig through my hiking posts and read about me popping a puss filled blister if you like? :)

    @Dee, Thanks for that, I might do a post on how I did the collage, seeing as people seem to like them :)

    @Relax Max, come closer, closer, closer.

    @Aiyana, I love containers, the mum is in a wheelchair at the mo so she loves them too as she can still garden that way. I normally start in late April and the containers can last all the way into October, depending on what I plant. Its a shame yours are short lived :(

  11. Beautiful flowers, the colors are amazing.
    You photograph very well and most of the flowers you photographed, I happen to have in my garden.
    Sometimes I think we green thumbs are aligned in our thoughts.
    I am most happiest when I am in my garden planting.
    Some amazing things happen in the garden, the play of life and death is clearly seen in the garden.
    I once watched my mother bring back to life a plant that I truly believed was dead and there was no hope for it.
    I threw it away only to watch her restore it.
    A miracle to me but the usual to her.
    Wisdom and patience is needed in the garden but also a good eye. There is lots to learn in the garden.
    Wishing you life's best.
