Hi Friends
Day 2 of photo sharing
No idea what the name is but I love the look of the green straws growing well in front of the rock by the pool.
Tiny blue flowers are so pretty in that corner of the fence
Yellow rose galore! It was gorgeous it bloomed like there was no tomorrow for 2 weeks and as quickly as they came as quickly it was all gone. I see more buds forming so there is more galore to come.
A bag pot, I thought it was so cute I had to have one. This one I am happy I took a photo of because there is no more flowers on it to this day. For some reason even after following the sun requirement and all this plant refuses to grow as it should. I am happy this is the only one I seem to have so much trouble with.
My Sombrero guy doing the siesta. He looks perfect in this corner by the front gate.
I know this speaks for itself, no need for explanation. But it really looks lovely when the gate is open and we come down the stairs this is what we see first.

My lily pads are huge and the flowers are really coming out beautifully. The pads are so shiny...I was thinking out loud the other day saying that all that was missing in the pond was a frog. Well a day later I found a Bullfrog in my garden. I spoke with a local person last week and he was shocked to hear that we had a frog in our backyard, I added not only that I was surprised to see one but we both were scared of seeing one another. We ran in both directions. I was running to get my camera so I could show proof that there was a frog here. Still don't know how it got in here. You will see it later on and will know what it was....
I really enjoy this flower but it doesn't stay nice too long. It has a mid-day bloom and if it opens up again the next day the petals touching the water become stained.
This is the other color I have in the pond. I never thought in a million years I would have lily pads on my property...I do now...
I beleive this is called a honeysuckle. It is loved by butterflies, hummingbirds, and hummingbirds moths. One night we were having a coffee in the garden when we could see something flying over the honeysuckle bush to find out that we had the smallest of all hummerbirds having dinner late at night.
Now you see where the honeysuckle is located and where the chairs are.
I hope you have enjoyed this set of photos. There is so much more to come. You have asked, you shall receive. As soon as I find more time to resize the card photos I took of it all I will start sharing them with you. Sorry it has taken so long, but sometimes some things just can't be helped.
Have a great day!
