The sunflowers look so nice with that red birdhouse in the background.<br />I have at least one Mexican hat as the petals are making an appearance. It's short but has three blooms. No blooms on my caryopteris yet but they look good!<br />Looking forward to seeing that cardinal flower. I hope it grows good for you!<br />My lavender is looking good too. I made some little sachets last year just by sticking the blooms into a stocking after they dried and hanging it in the closet. I've found that when I hang the stalks to dry, I need a newspaper or something under htem to catch the blooms that fall off, but it's easy!!!<br />Too funny about the giant sunflowers. Maybe some birds planted them for you.<br />So nice to see everything blooming at your place!Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-62602653832973536082012-06-05T13:47:24.813-05:002012-06-05T13:47:24.813-05:00Everything looks great!

I know it can be lots of hard work and love. LOL! If it's true, you have to kill a lot of plants to be a good gardener, then I must be a master gardener! Love the cat tails and the lavender.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049464020213263503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-72378688859592265382012-06-01T17:35:53.753-05:002012-06-01T17:35:53.753-05:00I'd love to have some of your caryopteris, but...I'd love to have some of your caryopteris, but, well-I'm on the road yet again. Rats. I got one from High Country gardens a couple years ago, but it did not survive my winter. At least I wouldn't feel quite so guilty if I killed a "sprout". <br />Your flowers are beautiful, Melanie. And don't you dare say you wish you didn't have the pond. It is such a showpiece.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-26504716835873983182012-06-01T08:57:42.082-05:002012-06-01T08:57:42.082-05:00Is there a spot around the actual edge of your pon...Is there a spot around the actual edge of your pond, where the roots could get into water but aren't in water all the time, where you could stick in a cardinal flower? I understand the appeal of that plant! I've gotten it to live and bloom for me twice now - both times where I planted it next to a downspout and we were lucky enough to have a wet spring and early summer. Alas, the plants didn't make it through drier times. But I keep trying!<br /><br />I'm looking at your Mexican hat with plant lust. I notice that my gardens are losing their blooms right about now, so it's time to search out some blooming plants to take me through the next part of the season...until the summer phlox kick in, I guess.<br /><br />Now, I'm out to do some gardening while this wonderfully cool weather energizes me!Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-46814984980701990052012-06-01T07:11:29.927-05:002012-06-01T07:11:29.927-05:00I would love some caryopteris and mexican hats if ...I would love some caryopteris and mexican hats if you want to share. I think you had given me a couple of caryopteris already? (I could be thinking of something else!) I had one that was in its 3rd season, but went out a day or 2 ago, and someone..something...had pulled it completely out and took off with it? Weird, huh!<br />Beautiful yard! I have one sunflower that came up and bloomed. The birds planted if from the bird feeder. ;) It was so determined to grow, I didn't have the heart to pull it, so I let it bloo.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444906851048479864noreply@blogger.com
