Cleome

The garden tour was awesome and I had so much fun meeting everyone in person.  Thank you to everyone who emailed me well wishes beforehand.  I'm still tired - so much for sleeping in today - and have a jam-packed week, so probably won't be around much. But I wanted to try to get at least a few of my most recent yard pics posted.  Soooo many pictures, so little time.


Does a lowly annual deserve its own post?  I think so.  I've mentioned that I rediscovered Cleome this year. I used to grow it all the time in my "early years."  Whatever that means.  I don't know why I hadn't bought it in so long.  It randomly jumped into my cart this spring and I'm so glad it did.  I'm sort of in love with it.  It reminds me of fireworks.



I remember it used to reseed by itself, and babies would come up every spring.  
I'll save seeds, just in case nature doesn't do its thing.











The white one is more photogenic, but I love them both in the garden.
Aren't they cool?

Shameless plug alert:  
Just a little reminder that you can purchase my floral photographs in my Etsy shop.
If you see one in a post that isn't in the shop, shoot me an email and I'll list it for ya.

  4. Such a pretty annual, Mindy. I've tried growing it before, but couldn't get it going. After seeing this, I'm inspired to give it a go again next year:) Hope all is well with you!

  6. Wow a garden tour!! I've been told I should do one but don't know anything about it plus I'd be a wreck! The Cleome is so pretty- I don't know that plant. I'll have to see if it's one that will come back here.

  10. Only you, my friend, can make a "lowly" annual like Cleome shine with dignity. Your photos are exquisite. I need a bigger garden.
