Hey all!!! It is Friday and that means it is Fertilizer Friday....and we get to feed and Flaunt our Flowers!!!Grab your feeders...and get busy feeding your houseplants and gardens. After you are done ...grab your camera and take some photos to flaunt with me! Link yourself up to the mister linky below...grab the photo above and link that back to my blog...share your garden with the rest of the beautiful and talented gardeners out there!
I missed sharing last week...but made up for it this week with a boat load of photos! I was away all week...so please pretend there are no weeds in these photos!!! Here's my offering...
My header bed...
Begonia from seed...and calibrachoa...
Look at the progress on this Beta Grape (I thought it was dead)!
Got one of my Mums in place. ( I don't think they are perennial here for some reason)
That garbage pot again....not so trashy now at all!
Big bike bed...wish I had gotten a better angle!
The Lavatera under the garage windows finally took off ....AND is blooming!!!!
Heliotrope is finally showing itself off!!!
Just laughing at the dichondra emerald falls that finally showed a leaf or two! lol
Had to raise up my big pots...they were dragging on the ground. The wind from last week's storms has done some damage to the shape of them...but they are still alive!
The bench is sure filling out nicely too.
Nicotana, marigold, snap dragons....and what's that I see?????
Yep! It's a Rudbeckia ! It is called chocolate orange....
A hosta in the corner of the outdoor room behind that bench...pretty purple blooms
A Banana plant that I started from seed...
Monkshood making his big grand entrance!!!
I love the color of it!
Side garden....that Malva is sure a healthy volunteer!!!
The honeysuckle is getting ready to bloom for me again...
Dahlia
Dahlia
Beside the treehouse....
another view of the big pots...see the damage from the wind? Oh well....they still rock!!!
While I am trying to do anything....this weed-like terror stalks and helps me. He loves the keyboard of my laptop. He's growing like weeds...and even knows how to walk on a harness with a leash now!!! He's a regular bug!Finally, I would like to thank you all for the kind comments and prayers for my Parents and my family this week...Keep them coming! (the prayers that is..okay and the comments..I love hearing from you! lol)
Okay....link up ladies and gents!!! I wanna see what you have to flaunt this week!!!! Remember ...there is no such thing as an ugly bloom...garden or plant!!!!
Please do share with us! I will do my best to get around to see everyone...internet is sporadic here the last few days!

Everything looks lush and colorful as can be. I don’t know how in the world you keep those planters looking so good. We never have much luck with them, either the rain beats them down or the sun burns them. --Randy
Glad to hear your Dad is doing good - I'm sorry I haven't been around and didn't know he was in the hospital. We'll sure be keeping him in our prayers.
Mine was back in the hospital too and got out yesterday. Maybe he's going to fool us all and stick around a lot longer.
Glad to see your Dad made it through the procedure well.
I always get so jealous when I look at your beautiful flower beds. ;-) Your pots are always so full and pretty. Mine are about a mess now at this time of year. Even your grass is greener. Just not right I tell ya girl ;-)
Am glad to hear your Dad is doing so well.
I'm sorry to hear your dad has been having some health issues, but it's great to hear that he'll be on his way home shortly.
Your yard is looking great! So neat! And still so colourful too. Mine is very lush and full but also messy ... I tend to give up on weeding in early August and just let nature take its course. I'm too busy trying to get all the veggies canned/frozen/eaten before they go bad or the frost comes.
Thanks for hosting FF again! It's always a joy to tour everyone's gardens.
Thanks for all your prayers, emails and well wishes for my family!
What a magnificent garden you have. You can be super proud.
Tootsie, I sure hope your garden is on the local garden tours...it's amazing! I know your growing season may not be as long as we have here...but wow, things down here just don't stay so lush in the heat. Your gardens are just beautiful!
