Container planting and other flowers

Yup that’s an amaryllis sticking out of the top of my stacked pot planter. It used to be 3 pots stacked high…

Then this happened…an accident caused by a pug chasing a Great Dane.  It was quite a sight.  So now the stacked pot is only two pots high.

Around this time of year I stick flags in planters all over the deck.

I love bright flowers and easy to grow flowers.

Mom gave me this peacock décor for my porch planter. I love me some peacocks!

A hanging plant with three different kinds of bloomers.

I put a big shallow pot on a stump and put mulch around it (those same two dogs I referred to earlier keep digging it up) and it looks great by the willow tree.

I think every year the day lilies bloom earlier, this year they are really pretty and tall!

I found purple fountain grass at Lowes for $1 each so I planted four clumps of it in our “pet cemetery”.

Purple coneflowers come up in the yard like weeds.  Sometimes I just let them bloom before I cut them down.

Coreopsis blooms every where and the dusty miller has taken over as well. I need to clean out my perennial garden and start over next year.

The house looks so cozy with the flowers and the grass cut!  Hope you are having a great week!
