Garden Tuesday

There is a lot of variety in the back yard, a lot! It grows back every year, and then some. Funny thing about plants, they just grow. They don't always grown where you want.....

and any concept or ideal, like a flower bed or a bordered area, is lost on them. 

and some grow like it is a party, the more the merrier!

 some are quiet, growing taller each day and then like magic, tiny blossoms appear.

and then there are the ones, that shout out their existence, growing in spite of the harsh environment. 

As always, thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello.
I appreciate your time and your comments.

I love to see things grow up north, as in your garden...never know what will start to bloom.

Here in S. Florida everything is in full bloom now, especially the gardenia, which has such an amazing fragrance, that a lot of people are allergic to...including, myself!

I love that moss with the little blue flowers. I have something similar with yellow blossoms.

Great pictures! Where I live in New Mexico the only thing I can get to grow is weeds and sagebrush.

I'm jealous of your Lily of the Valley--my favorite flower. I have never been able to get a stand of them growing. :-(

Stopping by from Pam's.

Our flowers grow wherever they want, too. I gave up trying to control them long ago!

So pretty! I love Lily of the Valley!

The true blue flowers (not violet-toned blues) are my garden favorites. Wish I could grow forget-me-nots too!

Thanks for your kind words about my photos. Picasa magic makes my little point-and-shoot photos shine, thank heavens!

Beautiful flowers, and thanks for stopping by!

I have lots of lilies of the valley. They're one of my favorites. I transplanted some from my parents' house before they sold it. My kids like them, too; maybe they'll transplant some to their house!

It's always interesting to observe just how plants behave - they do seem to have minds of their own.
