Garden Close-ups

 Last weekend we began a major garden project, changing the raised beds Mrs. F.G. has been using for veggie production.  I'm not going to reveal it yet, but I did end up spending a lot of time out there watching our gardener work!  So I had time to try and get some interesting shots of plants.

This clump of pink Cosmos bloomed late in the season, right in front of our living room window.

A dried stalk of Bear's Breeches.

Leaves of a Japanese Maple

A Lavender that decided to bloom twice.

 And a pink Echinacea that's blooming afresh.

  3. A major garden overhaul is underway here at the Blue House too. I usually long for rain.. but right now I'm grateful we are in a dry season... otherwise the back of the house would be a muddy mess
    The flowers are beautiful... and I look forward to the big reveal
