I tend to take them for granted - those wonderful creations of God we call flowers. I plant, God waters, and, lo and behold, they send out flowers. I've captured a few of them here for you to enjoy also. Noted is the fact that many of these flowers range somewhere in the purple hue.
 |
| The south and west side of our home. Karol planted the creeping phlox some years back and now, each year, we are treated to a feast of flowers (I can see them outside of my office window). |
 |
| The lupine "arrived" some years back by God's planting (or a bird). They multiply each year and now adorn a poor soil area to the west of our home. |
 |
| I've always wanted white iris. A couple of years ago, I was given a root, and now I have them in two places in my perennial gardens. |
 |
| But iris come in a variety of colors. |
 |
| If I'm not mistaken, these flowers are called allium - they come on a tall stalk. |
 |
| This iris was given to us by Brock two years ago. It's one of our best. |
 |
| Bleeding hearts are fast growing and one of the favorites of the hummingbirds. |
 |
| Last year, we planted three kinds of clematis on a new trellis on the west side of our garage. |
 |
| This azalea was planted five years ago. Now it provides many moments of pleasant viewing. |
|
 |
| This yellow-bellied sapsucker has provided a lot of humor for us. When he first arrived, he found a bat house to tap on (it echoed even at 5:15 in the morning). Then he found a variety of spots on our log home (to my displeasure). I rejoiced when I saw him tapping on one of our wash-line posts (you have to know that the birds feed on sap - so this is an exercise in futility). |
