This is our Lime Zinger Sedum:
Mom loves the name. And that it appears to love our sunny garden. Right next to that is a splash of pink from the Cherry Tart Sedum.
Apparently, even though it's called Cherry Tart, you aren't supposed to eat it. Who knew?
Not to be out-pinked by the Sedum, down on the lowest tier, we have the Crape Myrtle:
Now that's a pop of pink! |
Just over from that, along the fence, we have three White Rose of Sharon bushes:
They're just swimming with blooms! And the blooms are swimming with these:
White Rose of Sharon bloom and a NoNoMaggieOwieNoMaggie! |
For some reason, Mom doesn't want me to get close to them. I'm not sure why; they look like they'd be mighty fun to chase!
Closer to the house, we have another type of Rose of Sharon bush; it has pink/purple/blue flowers on it! Here's one of the pinkish blooms:
They have interesting visitors, too! Check out who was checking out a bloom:
It's a Hummingbird Moth and those things are SUPER fast! We love watching them zip all over the place!
That's a wrap for this week.
"I feel mighty serene now! And so does Cam!" |
Yep. We feel it! Who's with us?
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher

It always amazes us how beautiful your yard is - how do you do it? Mom could use some lessons. Our crepe myrtle and Rose of Sharon did not do so well this year - could have something to do with the Dadster not listening to Mom about when to trim them back:(
ReplyDeleteHappy Serene Sunday from very wet OP.
