Now Blooming On The Patio


There has been so much rain, I do believe a few of my plants have drowned. Or their roots anyway. 

They look sad. I'm trying to breathe life back into them.


This is what the sky often looks like these days...


Meanwhile, I hear the mockingbird out there singing up a storm. And the male cardinal. It's full on mating season, I suppose.


Lemon grass. This particular container seems to draw the pupsters in. 


I added two purple petunia plants to this container, and I  sometimes find them munching on the flowers. 

I keep trying to surround it with things to keep them out, but they're pretty creative.



The blooming flowers make me smile every time I go out there or stand at the patio door staring out.

I don't think I've ever met a daisy I didn't love. You can see them there in the background. I hope the pupsters don't take to munching my daisies!



Someone asked me what the trailing plants are in a couple of photos, but I wasn't sure which ones they were referring to. 

The trailing plants that I currently have are vinca and creeping jenny.

I also have sweet potato vines, but they're not to the trailing stage yet.


I wonder if the cardinal couple are the same visiting couple every year? Do you know what their habit is? 

What birds are visiting your yard or patio?
