Darsden: Those flowers are beautiful! Your garden is lovely! I have never seen Lilies of the Nile. . . those are so ornate to me. . . would they grow in the midwest?

darsden said...

Pastor Sharon-I wouldn't see why they wouldn't esp in the summer time...that is the only time I have seen them blooming around here..wait or we in summertime yet..maybe the end of spring time is what I should be saying. They are like velvet in their colors.

Mary Ellen said...

Living in a northern clime, our lilacs are just finishing. Great to have so much blooming and ready to pick where you are! Lots to look forward to.

Unknown said...

beautiful! I would kill each and every one of those things

Reddirt Woman said...

Golly, Dar, you'll be able to take a walk and have lunch on your stroll. Lots of fruit. mmmm

Your 'hot biscuits' are gorgeous as is that Lily of the Nile. I've never seen that one. Looks like it feel like velvet.

Thanks for the photo stroll.

Dar, when are you coming to plant flowers at my house? I can't have nice flowers in the yard unless I plant the plastic kind, and nobody likes that, especially me.

Beautiful garden pictures!!! I spent the weekend - mulching, planting, and pruning. My yard is way too big. I'll take some pictures later this week.

I took out some fountain grass and replaced it with boxwoods to make an English garden look with some knock pink roses in the middle of the boxwoods.... I feel like a chicken planting knock out roses, but I do not have the time to baby will rose bushes.

Ok... now I need to go take a picture for us!!!

darsden said...

rosyln-actually the folks planted them over 20 years ago and they are awesome!

michel-I'll jump right on that plane for you uhmm NOT...lol do you know how hot it is where you are...and if I bring you anything it will be a book on positive thinking ...rotflmfao..!

I love gardening, too! You have some gorgeous flowers and fruit coming along there. It is great to live in the south when trying to grow most plants, eh?

Joanna Jenkins said...

Oh how I would LOVE a blueberry bush! You are a lucky girl!
Thanks for the wonderful pictures. More please

darsden said...

Beth-there are benefits to being in the South, no winters to speak of...but being today started hurricane season ...whole different ball game there!

Joanna Jenkins-good to see you again. I know I am extremely lucky and blessed. But none would be possible if I wasn't living in the mole hole in the backyard of my parents place :-))
