Cottage Style Party #50

Let's take a walk in the garden this week.

Since I live in a cottage home,

I try to have a cottage garden too.

There's lots of color, birdbaths, and something blooming all the time.


Have a peek...

Remember the curbside find white picket fence I added back in the spring?

Here it is with pink lilies poking through it.

Just like I imagined!

Here's another section with fennel fronds and a lonely native daylily.

Black hollyhocks are blooming next to the weathered wood fence.

The perennial leeks are finally flowering 6 weeks later than last year!

A bee visits a barely blooming lavender flower.

A native daylily looks almost 3-D against the background.

Lavender plays a big part in my garden.

The roses are new this year and so lovely!

This daylily is also new moving into a newly vacated spot.

These neon pink petunias mesh well with the pink barberry below them.

Another gorgeous lily blooms.

First time for a caladium in my garden...

I'll definitely bring it back next year!

A tiny fig grows on my fig tree.

Even the sage is pretty and edible!

A friend just gave me this beautiful birdbath.

A close up...I love it!

The fern bed is fluffy and full this year!

A lovely peach daylily blooms in the daylily bed.




Cute story:


I was sitting out in my garden this weekend when I noticed

a small bunny moving towards me.

It hopped a little then would stand up and listen.

Then it hopped a little more and listened.

I figured it could smell me but wasn't sure where I was.

It hopped right under the chair I was sitting in!

Then it hopped over a couple of feet, stood up and sniffed the air again,

before hopping over to nibble on my lettuce.

I was so delighted I didn't even care!
