Inside Gardening

It has been quite cold and rainy lately and I have been a little disinclined to dig, trim , prune, or plant outside. But I must admit that I love my house on the inside as well as the outside. So during this wet, cold, rainy day, would you like to take a tour of the places in my home that give me pleasure and make me smile?

Look what's hanging around in this heat!


The yellow hibiscus is magnificent!

Once the Turk's cap starts blooming....here come the hummingbirds

There is something about the sunflower that just makes me smile

Society garlic loves to mingle

The red hibiscus is in full glory!

Everyone needs some Northern Sea Oats in their shady areas
Here comes the Mexican Petunia

My Gomphrena is a happy camper here

This year I will overwinter my Abutilon inside

Esperanza is a spectacular sight to see

This cypress vine is a welcome uninvited guest

Boom boom pow.....have a cigar....plant

More of my flowering maple (Abutilon)

First year for caladiums....I am certainly enjoying them.
Even when it is hot, I can sit inside and view my
paradise through my window!

This is a gnomal day in my garden

There is always magic in your garden if you take time to look. Gnormally I am so rushed and busy I might miss what is really going on....but today it was so beautiful, I just took some time to look around.


You must pay attention and look carefully or you might miss something
The birds singing, the breeze blowing through the trees and chimes....and possibly a flute or pennywhistle
Dodo's really do exist, but seem to be quite shy and sleepy
Rocks keep popping up in unexpected places, and now I know why
This lovely lady is in her element
There is always someone around to take care of the birds even if I forget to put out seed
This is the director of all garden events. He knows it all
A show is twice as good if it has an audience
After all the work is done it is time for a little R & R
Wisdom willingly wanders with wonder and wistfulness
Open your eyes to the magic that is all around you
