So that I can enjoy then indoors and out. I save mine every year and originally got them from a strip mall when they were all dry. Just picked off a few different colored dried up heads and have more than I'll ever need.Margaret @ Live Like No One Elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407182443460902580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-34938981290943973682015-06-29T15:56:40.096-07:002015-06-29T15:56:40.096-07:00That purple phlox is gorgeous!

The lines of the chair are light and delicate. I am not a glad fan, but I have to say that the ones you have grown are just lovely.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-10763892881676707892015-06-28T21:47:29.706-07:002015-06-28T21:47:29.706-07:00Wow to the Cuphea!

It's gorgeous, Mindy!<br />I spied pansies in your window boxes . . . so jealous!<br />Oh! My hostas have doubled in size since I bought them! WOOHOO! They're a new plant to me, so I wasn't sure if they'd make it in my climate, but they're doing great.<br />I photograph in Manual 98% of the time. I like the control that I have!! I can see a difference in your photos in this post. Don't hesitate to open in them in Picture Manager and lighten the midtones, and then watch the magic unfold :0)<br />Have a great weekend!<br />SuzanneSimply Suzannes at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626136028481867423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-80797762167340226812015-06-26T20:11:00.736-07:002015-06-26T20:11:00.736-07:00I think changing the setting on your camera has ma...I think changing the setting on your camera has made a difference. Your photos have always been good but now they're more realistic and just outstanding. I pinned several of them. Those hostas are to die for and those phlox and that sweet painted rock and that watering can and that chair and that faucet.. wow. I love it all. I am very jealous of your gladiolus. I haven't seen hide nor hair of any of mine. I think I might go dig them up and plant them in pots. At least that way I can keep track of them. I have too many sedums too. I love their texture and how the bees go nuts over them but shoot. There is only so much room.

I had to laugh because I saw the photos of the tall purple phlox, and thought what...what....that is beautiful and I don't remember seeing it in any of the earlier posts. I kept thinking why is she not mentioning it. Then you finally said do you spot the plant I came out to take a picture of. lol Is that a new hosta? The small one. It looks like the one I got this year called "June" Kinda of funny, I got the same watering can last week from my Mom. She had 3 of them and knew I wanted one so much so she surprised me and gave me one. So happy you have some glads. I planted some last year for the 1st time and I loved them. I bought more this year too. I have to dig them all up in the Fall. They would never survive our winters here in Ohio. I love those red cuphea flowers. I will have to get some! It ALL looks adorable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652832782164271871noreply@blogger.com
