Fertilizer Friday/ Flaunt Your Flowers Oct.8/10

Copy_of_001

Once again I am here to say WELCOME to all you Bloggers!/ Gardeners!/ Friends!!!! It’s Friday again already and that means it’s time to flaunt our flowers, gardens and all things green!

Now if you are not familiar with the rules of this little party…here they are;

If it is spring or summer where you live, you need to snap a few photos of what you have growing, blooming or just love to look at that is of the plant variety…if it is winter where you live, you may post past favorite photos…or indoor plants…whatever you like. The only criteria is that it is a plant or something growing!

You do not need to use fertilizer to participate in this party, but if you do, this is the reminder to fertilize weekly!

All I ask is that: Your post must include the logo above and a link to Tootise Time, or the linky will be deleted. I don’t mean to be harsh, but there have been a lot of people linking in and when the participants graciously click over to their blogs, there is no sign of Fertilizer Friday anywhere to be found. This is not fair to those who do follow the rules, therefore…well you know!

So? what are you waiting for? Get outside, feed, water, snap and post!

Another BUSY week has come and gone…and I am left with no time to spare. My yard is still in the process of being put down for a long winter nap, and the days seem so short. Kids, work, everything…just busy busy! I am looking forward to the days when I have a routine in place and I have time to spare!

Today, I am sharing some photos that were sent to me via email of a place called Montreal Gardens…I can’t even begin to describe the talent and creativity that goes into this place…not to mention how much work must go into maintaining it…thank you to my dear friend and Mom…for sending these to me…take a look!

That is quite some topiary... I looked it up on the net and apparently it was a temporary display in Montreal if my French is correct... I have been to the Montreal Botanical gardens a number of times and never saw such a display there... pretty impressive and it seems to me that I saw pictures of a similar display in China for the Olympics? Take care... L

Judith @ Lavender Cottage said...

Some gardeners are such talented artists; or maybe it's the other way around.
You'd be the envy of your neighbours if a topiary similar to any one of these adorned your front yard!
Thanks for hosting.

linda may said...

The topiary is fantastic isn't it. I am back today to play friday fertlizer again. I have to move house again......Grrrr.I hate renting!!!! The owners are back in the country and want their house back. I have not found a new house to move to yet, so am in a state of panic at the moment. Oh well, soon you may be able to share a new garden full of weeds with me to work on. :(

Andrea said...

Hi Tootsie, those are what i call incredibly awesome. No words are enough to describe them. I really can't imagine how they are maintained as perfect. Thanks also for Gloria for sharing them with us too, and thanks to you.
