My Thumb is Slowly Changing Colors

I know this might be a boring post for some of you, (ok, maybe most of you - except my mom and Emmy) but I had to document that I have NOT killed all of my plants that were planted back in April!! Yippee!! I will admit that I have had to replace some, but I have to learn what grows where in this new house.

**Just to go on record the plants that had to be replaced did not die because I neglected them**

So please sit back and enjoy the flower "eye candy" that follows!

I am so proud of my "blue" hydrangea! This is the only flower now, but I just know more are on their way. I can't wait to start cutting them to bring inside!! I think I will be planting two more of these in the same flower bed.


This is a Double Impatient, and it just loves to bloom!


Who knew Hostas bloomed? (Ok, so all you plant lovers probably already knew that, but I am a beginner and easily impressed!) I have several of these sweet little things, and they are really growing.


Emmy recommended putting Caladiums in a pot that doesn't get too much sun, and I love them. Again, who knew it would bloom?


Help - I don't remember this flower's name?!? It is blooming nicely in my backyard, and I would like to plant more.


I have some Gerarniums and Creeping Jenny in the front, but I will have to get a picture of them next time - along with my Petunias, Impatiens, Ferns, and Dianthus.
