Remember the trip I took out to the Flint Hills Landscape place? Mom got a bunch of new plants to put in - some Variegated Liriope that she scattered around our front gardens (where they can get some shade) and out back (where we have full sun all day long), she put in some Shenandoah Switchgrass. Or Switchgrasses. Hmm. Moving right along - here is a look at two of them:
They're right by the Lavender plants she put in earlier this Summer. They should be very happy and colorful together.
Let's look for the Liriope.
"BINGO!" |
There's one - at the back part of the upper garden! Here's a closer look:
Isn't it nice? I'm sure my friend Sandy helped grow it. I'll think about her when I see it - and the rest of the plants we got there!
Our Mums are blooming all over the place! Well, actually not quite "all over the place" so much as mostly over here:
"Hey, look! It's my mum's Mums! Ha roo roo roo!" |
We've got rusty-golden colored ones:
And crazy pink ones:
And white ones!
There are some burgundy ones over by the mailbox, but they aren't blooming yet. I have no idea what they're waiting for! Look at how much fun the other ones are having!
Yeah. The burgundy ones need to hurry up and join the party!
Speaking of parties ... check out the Purple Love Grass!
It's really thriving in there with the rocks and sedum plants!
Are you in your Zen of Zim Zone yet? Not quite there, huh? Well, this should send you over the top. We've had some gorgeous sunsets lately. How about we check out one together? Just face west, clear your mind, and tilt your snooter to the sky ...
... and check the view over the Flint Hills:
While we're at it, I'm going to toss up a little prayer, letting God know how magnificent that sunset is and how much I appreciate it! So much beauty ...
I hope your Sunday is a serene one!
Play bows,
Zim
