Sky Watch Friday

Lake at Ballard Park, Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, September 15, 2016

We have had a week of fluffy white clouds, but only a few scattered rain showers. When I was at Ballard Park yesterday, the temperature was 97F (36C). A few ducks and geese were enjoying the water, but a lot more of them were on the bank in the shade.

Today's Flowers and Floral Friday Fotos

I did not have a lot of Sunflowers this year, but I loved every one of them!

Have a wonderful day!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day August 2016

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day
Northeast Mississippi, USA zone 7

ABC Wednesday
F is for Flowers

A few years ago I planted several types of coneflowers in this flower bed, but only one survived and multiplied.

Their foliage is getting ragged, but the Marigolds keep on blooming.

I have five Sunflower plants that sprouted from seed spilled under a birdfeeder. They are not very big, but each plant has several blooms.

White Cypress Vine that I bought at a Master Gardeners' Plant Sale.

I got a late start with my Zinnias, but they are blooming okay now.

This butterfly on the Butterfly Bush, Buddleia, is looking a little tattered, but it is still flitting around, sipping nectar just fine.

The Crape Myrtles have been magnificent this year.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, May 2016

Northeast Mississippi, USA, zone 7

The blooms on this Running Rose are small, but there are hundreds of them!

This rose hangs its head down, so I have to lift the blooms to see them.

This is an old-fashioned rose called Burr Rose. Some of the leaves you see here are from a Wisteria Vine that is trying to take over. I must get in there and cut it down.

I think this is the prettiest of my Clematis vines. Shh! Don't tell the others!

This Coreopsis came from a packet of mixed seeds.

This Geranium is a new purchase. I like to have them in hanging baskets on my porch, but I don't have much luck trying to keep them through the Winter.

A few Pansies are still blooming.

A hopeful preview of things to come! I have planted Sunflower seeds!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
