  2. Gosh, how beautiful... where to start... the butterflies are magical and I love the 'false sunflower' this year I mean to gather seeds from plants blooming at our co-op. Your garden looks so lovely in the early evening light and how you care for it shows in the beauty and lushness of every bloom. Your stepping stone path looks perfect and inviting and the edging frame the beds so handsomely. Beautiful photos too! What a nice toy!! I like that car. ;>))

  8. You have a very pretty, healthy garden! Also, quite a variety of sun and shade perennials. I wish my butterfly bush looked that green. I think the heat has mine a little stressed.

  12. I just love love love the long shots of your garden. The flowers still are going strong and looking so lush and wonderful. But can I ask a favor? I'll trade all my flowers and yours for that toy of your husbands! Can't let my hubby see it either. It's a beauty.

  14. So many great plants!
    The Helens flower looks so beautiful with its little bi-color petals. And so many other amazing plants as well.
    Love the color on the roxanne and the butterfly bush. The tomato looks so delicious and the lace cap is like a little clump of butterflies hovering around a flower!

    Thank you very much for joining the carnival! So many nice things in your garden.

  18. During the 4th of July my uncle (who has a pyrotechnics license) does an amazing fireworks display and my family sits there yelling, "Ooooh, that's my favorite!" every time he fires a shot. We end up with 100 favorites before the evening is over. I feel like that after looking at your blog post! "Oooh, that's my favorite!" :)
