HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
Wishing all the mothers around blogland a wonderful day!!
Yesterday when I was returning from my daily walk I aproached our house from a different direction and could not believe how pretty my garden was from the other side!!!
I have two plumbagos flowering at the moment - one is slightly darker than the other - and they were so beautiful just spilling over the fence.
I just love pink, blue and mauve flowers in my garden. Even though yellow really gives the garden a lift I usually only have a soft buttercup yellow which really looks beautiful with mauves and purples.
This plant is about 6ft high - it looks like a wave of beautiful blue water cascading down.
The weather was just perfect yesterday. With mild temps, a gentle breeze and lots of sunshine it was beautiful gardening weather - such a shame I too many other things I had to do.
I have picked you a basket of flowers to enjoy!
I have a Mother's Day tablescape to show you tomorrow - have a lovely day...

Your Plumbago is just beautiful. Such a gorgeous blue. Your mosaic at the top is quite whimsical and very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSuzyQ i too adore blue flowers in my own garden!This shrub is stunning!Cross between phlox and forget-me-nots!!!I've never heard of plumbagos but I'll not forget it now!Wishing you a Happy Mother's day!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous shots of your plumbago, especially in the stemware & basket! Just Beautiful! We had some when we lived in FL & I always loved that periwinkle color. Its one of my favorite shades!!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzy,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find a true blue in the garden, isn't it? I go for a lot of lobelia, as they work in pots and hanging baskets and reseed themselves so readily. Your cascading shrub is a beauty!

Beautiful! I have never seen this shrub before, but it is really pretty. Do you know what the cold tolerance of this plant is?
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
Beautiful flowers.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to Bloomin'Tuesday! Your plumbago is amazing! I didn't realize it could get so large. Lovely color! Jean
