Garden Shots


Still shots in the garden.



 The Hollyhock is now blooming and I will get those images up soon. I have issues with real time photos. Come back and you will see a lovely pink Hollyhock. I am also having issues with finding our professional images on my computer. I have lost them....oops. Must contact my photographer friend.


Stonecrop Angelina and another sedum with a succulent. All taken from other places in the garden.


We are having a cold and rainy day here. I have walked Shelley Puppy three times in the cold drizzle and he is an absolute hoot and a half. Clovis is not giving him an inch. Keeping Shelley out of the flower garden is a job but he is catching on. I have only lost two Ginger Lilies. A tiny matter compared to the joy of a sweet puppy. If he gets into the Hydrangea Lab we will have to talk.

    1. I went to quite a lot but because two turned out to be designer sales I spent my money there and then stopped. One designer had a warehouse full of cottage items. I was thrilled with her.I bought a new matelasse Queen spread and two shams made in Poland for a song. I am keeping them. Some items I do sell to fund further adventures.

  3. Love the terracotta pot with the Angelina in it and, also, the last photo. Is that a spider or a daddy long legs that I see on that flower? The Gerbera is beautiful. I can see that Shelley puppy has captured a large piece of your heart my friend!

  8. Beautiful pictures, Olive! I just made a pot of succulents, there are so many fascinating ones out there! Do you leave yours out over the winter (your winter is much milder than ours), I am thinking I will need to bring the pot in.

    Shelley is so darn cute, makes me want another dog! ;-D

    XO,

  15. I love sedums too. Your plants look gorgeous Olive. We've had heavy showers here too, but it's a lovely time of the year when everything is just coming out. Have a good week.

  16. Gotta love hen and chicks. Wonder how they came up with that name? I've had trouble lately finding the photos I've just loaded onto my computer. Sometimes I'm clenching my teeth and looking everywhere on my computer, and then suddenly up they'll pop. This is driving me nuts. I have no idea what changed.
