My flower beds right now are eye candy if you're into blooms ... like I am :)
The only problem is ... they're blooming too soon ~~ a month too soon ~~ everything will be done blooming by time of the wedding :(
When the kids set their wedding date which is August 14th ... any normal year, that's when most of my perennials would be in bloom; but with this crazy climate change we're going through they all decided to kick in a month early.

Hopefully ~ my little piece of swamp moss that I took off a rock down in the woods and planted into an old cream seperator bowl with some cockscombs will still be green....
... As well as my little arbor vitae tree that I started from a seedling from the Arbor Day Foundation 2 years ago.
I love perennial plants ~ put them in the ground and neglect them and they'll return every year. I just wish I could control their blooming time. BUT... since I have no control over the weather I'll enjoy them while I can.
It looks like it's going to be a plastic flower wedding. lol (just kidding Sara!)
Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

Your flowers are ALL so gorgeous as usual...wonderful eye candy.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you came with yesterday, to the Big Brook Greenhouse to feast over all of the semps and sedums. I had a blast. Now that they are planted, I am thirsting for more.
Don't worry about the weather and the flowers for the wedding. It's still going to be gorgeous.
BlessYa
Mel, your flowers are always beautiful, no matter what time of year. The wedding will be gorgeous. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are absolutely beautiful. I love apple trees and I think they are so pretty with lots of apples on them.
ReplyDeleteCould you talk them into hopping the wedding up? Oh I bet you will have others blooming and it will be lovely. How do you have the energy to keep all this up?
ReplyDeleteI feel your sadness. I'd feel the same way. ~sigh~
ReplyDeleteBut wow what a beautiful display they are blessing you with right now.
I'm pea green with envy, my flowers are scrawny and haven't done worth a flitter this year due to the dry spell. Sooo, enjoy yours with an extra smile of appreciation from me that you shared your beauties with me here online. :) I hope that made sense?
lol Maybe my flowers will grow a little now that it rained yesterday... I hope... ;)
Thanks for the eye candy, it is yummy!!! :)
Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
:)
What a gorgeous spread!
ReplyDeleteIf the flowers are all gone on wedding day, you will get fresh flowers in the shop ;-)
Beautiful captures, you have a lovely gardern, red day lilly is my favorite
ReplyDeleteNature never seems to cooperate!! I glad I am not the only one thinking things are blooming early. You could always get some annuals for the wedding a lot of places around here are having good sales.
ReplyDeleteYou might get some fillers in the sales but for now you sure do have some great eye candy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and captures.
ReplyDeleteDitto here in the Twin Cities! But the lushness makes up for the heat and humidity. Lovely photo album of your 'early' beauty.
