Summer Blooms

June has to be one of my favorite months of the year.  It holds the promise of summer and all that comes with it. Warm mornings on the patio with a cup of coffee and warm nights on the patio with a glass of wine or cold beer.  It represents relaxation.  It's when all the summer flowers start to come to life and show their true colors.


My Hibiscus


My clematis'


Below, my chives



My favorite plant this one I got two years ago that I have been faithfully feeding and watering waiting for it to bloom.

I don't about blooming , but it certainly did grow!
Thankfully this one won't be multiplying!


Oh yeah. My new little fence is working awesome. Freddie found a hole by my one big hosta. The problem is he can't get back out once he's in!

  1. Your garden looks beautiful, what a fantastic array of plants. Love the Basset Plant, a rare and tenacious variety! Get out of there Fred, before you trample everything, LOL.

  7. Beautiful plants. I'm jealous of your clematis, as I can't grow any, they don't love me.
    The rampant basset plant is handsome too, maybe not too smart but handsome :-)
    Si I guess, hostas are less vulnerable to bassets than to snails?

  8. Your garden is so beautiful, the flowers are gorgeous. Your hibiscus is bright and cheerful; hibiscus is our national flower and most of my neighbours have them but not me. I'm really good at gardening!

    Sorry about your fence, it's just not Freddie-proof!

  29. I wonder if you water him, will he bloom pretty flowers?? BOL! I love all your flowers and your seating area!

  30. Your garden looks so neat and tidy. Sigh! Is your hibiscus in a container outdoors? I keep mine inside year round because winters are too wet and cold and it never seems to do well the times I've tried putting it outside in the summer. It's yet another plant that I have to keep trimming back!

  31. Your flowers are so pretty and Freddy makes a great garden ornament!

  32. Hi Y'all,

    BOL! Freddie! I thought you were a plant in there for a minute!

    What a beautiful place to sit and relax. My Human has saucer hibiscus at the shore. She loves clematis and where they lived before she had it trailing up a trellis on the wrap around porch and on fences. It's hard to plant anything much here 'cause of the rock ground on this mountain.

    How y'all doin'? Just stoppin' by to see how y'all are. Hope y'all are enjoying a fantastic weekend.

    Y'all come by now,
    Hawk aka BrownDog

  34. Vof Freddie, don't you mind, that happens to me, too! I know to go on the other side of the fence but then I'm behind the closed gate ... why it's closed?
