Joseph's Coat Of Many Colors

I love the garden early morning....

especially pretty today,  a Rose....

Our "Joseph's Coat Of Many Colors"

Rose comes to life each spring.

This is the third year after planting

and it's reached contentment in it's

location.

 I gave it a good fertilizing

and sprayed for unwanted disease

not long ago and the results are 

pleasing to me and the Rose.

You can see all the variations of

color in this photo....day after day

the Rose color changes. 

 The final

color before dying is a dark pink.

Thus, the reason for it's name

"Joseph's Coat Of Many Colors"

Have a beautiful day.....Dee Dee

On The Beach

A

of

the 

Gulf of Mexico.

  

A father throws 

the net to 

catch

 bait fish.  

The sea gull 

cries 

are deafening

sounding 

the 

dinner bell. 

Young

Red Hibiscus Blooms

The Hibiscus 

begins like this. 

Overnight....

something quite remarkable happens

to the bud.

At first light the Hibiscus bud opens

completely......

and it's beauty compliments  the

other flowers in the garden....

By now, you might realize most of

my post pertain to flowers. 

Lots of

new plants are being added 

to the garden

and they will be featured all

summer long 

in my blog.

I'm glad you stopped by.  

Do have a 

blessed Lord's day, 

everyone.

New Hibiscus In Garden

I've been wanting to plant Hibiscus in this

location of the garden for quite some time.

After a good rain, and the ground easy to

dig in......I planted a new color and 

variety. The

plant is full of buds and should bloom all

summer long.

The blooms last but a single day.... come

nighttime they wither and fall from the plant.

Spring is the most beautiful time of the year.

Have a sweet ole' day, everyone.  Dee Dee

Planting Snapdragons and Zinnias

I love the colors....

white and yellow. Snapdragons 

and Zinnias will compliment one

another planted together.

And so it begins....our spring planting!

Looking forward to having fresh

flowers for my kitchen table, all

summer long.

Have a sweet ole' day, everyone.  Dee Dee

Welcome Spring

Pretty Knockout Rose

 is blooming away in the garden.  

Every shrub has new growth and

the trees are alive with bird song.

"I was reminded the other day," said Stuart,  "that when Saint John

baptized Christ, he was touching God.  An awesome and extraordinary

thing to consider......

Have a blessed Lord's day, everyone.  Dee Dee

Planting Time

I was thrilled today to find white and

gold Zinnias.  These are photos I took

a couple of years ago....same colors

and they were just beautiful the whole

summer long.

My pots are readied and the garden

is beginning to look like spring.....

The Blue Jays and Mockingbirds are

back and soon baby birds will be

learning to fly.

Have a sweet ole' day, everyone.  Dee Dee
