Apparitions in my Garden
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway.
The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden.
As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door.
 | Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? |
| Cheeky little ghost! |  |
 | A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparition that makes the hammock squeak and swing. |
| A wine barrel keeps the hose hidden - but not the green phantom. It moves through my photos in a blur. I also see day lily, hosta, and coreopsis in this shot. |  |
 | Strawberries, onions, kohlrabi, beets, chard, tomato, carrots, cucumber, peppers, and zucchini. And a little something else that is growing like a weed. |
| This front entrance shot includes the Siberian snow pea beside the bird feeder, euonymus spreading beneath it along with some sedum, and a dwarf dogwood in the foreground. Hey, I think I lost my playful shadow. |  |
| "No you didn't Grandma! I'm right here" Along with Anemone, various grasses, lupine, and a lot of small blooming plants.  |  <-----(I can't remember what these are either) |

Perhaps I need a ghost.
YOUR flowers however, are so pretty!!! [wish we had had rains]...we have been in a sever drought...so, what's growing in my yard is totally colorless. LOL]
Happy F M
What a cute theme...and fun shadow.
The flowere at the end might be... An Indian painted blanket. or something like that.
by the way...
Thank yoy so much for your continued visits and wonderful comments. I appreciate each and every word.
You don't want to see what's growing in my garden! We got the raised beds assembled but not planted this year. I have pigweed and both common and giant ragweed growing in them along with some (more friendly and attractive) Chinese lantern/purple ground cherry.
