HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAUGHTER

today my daughter turned 18; here are her favorite flowers celebrating!

 a robin has been feeding these 3 chicks under the deck...

the tree peony bloomed this week...

clematis 'guernsey cream' is blooming for the first time in the potager... 

the flowers are 5" across; there are only 5 flowers, since i planted her just last year.

the crape myrtle's exfoliating branches are snaky-green in the rain...

spanish bluebells - they are everywhere...

here is the wound where the retaining wall used to be...
 f i x  m e . . . 

"so i tell her, just cuz we're nodding, doesn't mean it's time to dead-head us..."

i'm happily surprised these parrot tulips bloomed this year...

happy birthday...
