Shots from around the yard today

I went around and took some pictures of the new flower beds I started this year. Most of the plants were from wintersewn seeds.

 

I haven't tried winter sowing as our winters are so long and cold but it looks like works great for you. Your flower beds are going to look so nice with all your new plants. I'm envying you over the big round water trough! No bending to weed, dead-head or tend to them!

 

Got a lot growing there Bosque! Good luck with it all!

 

Holly smokes...are those snapdragons? It must be awfully cool where you are. They wouldn't stand a chance here in Savannah GA right now! lol

 

Well done!

I took a few shots around my yard today. I have a few flowers but it's mostly about wildly colored foliage.

Coleus, Caladiums, Alternanthera 'Brazilian Red Hot'


Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost', red Salvia, ornamental purslane (Portulaca umbraticola.)


WJ (Tradescantia zebrina), purple queen/heart (T. pallida), variegated lavender scallops (Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi), kitten ears (T. sillamontana).


More lavender scallops, not variegated.


Wax Begonia.


Cypress vine (Ipomoea quamoclit)

 

I really enjoyed your colourful contribution.
Things are looking good there. --Way to go.

 

I like the color combinations in your foliage beds. Really eye catching. I especially enjoyed the color and texture combinations in the second picture. Fabulous!

 

Love the coleus!

 

Love it all but that cypress vine!!

 

TYVM! I have fun on the weekends, going to see what has developed...!

 

I second what what zofas said. Very nice.

 

Well done to both of you, lovely plants!

they look soooooooo nice... I wished I could have a yard like this, fool of flowers

 

If I can do it, anyone can. I got rid of grass & put the other plants. Smothering the grass under cardboard is the easiest way. I do more space as time goes by. Hopefully our yard will be grass-free by the time we are too old for the hard labor of mowing!
