Beautiful everyone! My dream is to have larkspur like that Tamara... someday! I keep planting it... and getting like one skinny little plant.

I too am going to try and overwinter my Mandevilla. It was a splurge this spring and has been SO worth it. Usually plants prefer not to do what I intended.. but this one listened perfectly!

I was perhaps a little too liberal with my JMG Mt. Fuji... but it won't self seed too much... well, except that I've hand pollinated it because I want the seeds... and surely I won't find them all in this mess... but it's pretty!


My butterfly bed just makes me happy... crazy, riotous colors, but Smiling

And while I was getting some photos, this little guy came to say he approves! Haven't had many butterflies this year, so this was a great treat! I DID just find some eggs on my milkweed, so we'll have a bunch of monarchs in a few weeks... we'll raise them all inside for safe keeping and then release.
