My yard and Bloomin' Tuesday





My yard is starting to wake up and bloom
I love having color in my yard
but I have a pale green thumb

Here are some snapdragons my MIL gave me
They are in their second year of life and they are more beautiful than last year
and a slightly redder color

(see the chiminea in the front yard I hate it there but thats where Sean wanted it and its too heavy for me to move it)

And these Lantanas grow wild all over my yard

Not my favorite color of flowers but still beautiful
And I don't have to do anything with them
They just do their own thing

Next time I will take pics of the back yard

  2. Calling by from Bloomin' Tuesday, as a first time participant, discovering all the other great blogs that participate. I remember playing with snapdragon heads as a child.

  5. That is a stunning color on the snapdragon. Don't think I've seen that one before. Lantana is good like that - easy - just let them be. But on the other hand if in a flower bed they can be aggresive. I have them growing wild but I don't put them a garden bed anymore.

  6. I love the bright red snapdragon.

    I grew lantana once in my hanging baskets and I really liked it. We don't see that much in Michigan.
