Flower Show

Ha roo, pups! It's me - the Z-man! Mom finally put a few plants in the mailbox planter out front and Storm said I should let you have a look.

Hey, I can barely reach these!

There are a few Marguerite Sweet Potato Vines (those will fill in and get really huge like last year!), a dark purple spikey thing, and some other dark purple things with red flames on top of them! Mom said they're called Celosia Smart Look Red! I like that "Smart Look Red" part! Ha roo!

Here's a better look at the spikey thing. I forget what it's called.

I was looking over at the Peonies. They got pounded pretty badly by the hail and rain and wind, but they're still OK. Here I am, checking them out:

Here's a close up of one of the flowers.

Stormy thought they looked pretty, too, and came over to give them a sniff.

These are nice, Zim! Check them out!

I was one step ahead of her for once.

Oh, yeah, Storm. DEEE-licious!

Mom made me leave them alone after just ONE little nibble. Honestly, I'm JUST trying to enjoy the garden!

After Storm and I toured the front garden a bit, we had a little tĂȘte-a-tĂȘte about kitty-cats. We'll share that with you tomorrow; we hope our feline friends will tune in!

Play bows,
Zim

  7. Wow - you are such lucky dogs - My mom keeps her pretty flowers behind the big fence so we can't get close at all. I bet them were fun to smell. I can almost smell the roses behind the fence.

  13. Hello Zim and Storms.
    Your plantings are awfully pretty. Thanks for sharing. You better sneak another taste or two and report back. Some of those flowers looked awfully yummy. I bet Oswald could tell us.

    Loving Life,

    Lola

  15. Hi Zim
    As usual your garden is looking great! Wow we are surprised that the peonies survived those huge hail stones you had a little while back! They are beautiful as are the admirers in the garden.

  17. Mom says your flowers always look so bewootiful. She struggles with hers but I helped her this morning. She didn't seem as if she appreciated it very much.
