It's the last week of 2015. People just to the north of us reported snow a few days ago but it's nothing but dreary rain and fog here. And because I'm admittedly flower and foliage-starved at present, how about some photos from last July?

What is this ornamental corn?!?!? I have only ever seen the colorful kernels but never leaves like that
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Every bit of it! Had to laugh at your last sentence. :o)
ReplyDeleteJeff, here is a link to Cherry Gal Seeds, where I purchased the ornamental corn. Thanks for visiting.

I'm constantly amazed by the varieties of ornamental corn. Less surprising is that you found one with bright pink stripes!
ReplyDeleteLove the Ornamental Corn/Milkweed combo! I might have to try that! Thanks for the July views. I needed that! We just had a snowstorm, so my landscape is white and cold. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSo many great photos!
ReplyDeleteOh that pelargonium!
ReplyDeleteI am hanging on for spring by just a thread, sustained only by the blossoms on my Arctostaphylos 'Austin Griffiths'.
Gorgeous flowers, Grace!
Beautiful photos and flowers, I especially love the daylily and pelargoniums.
ReplyDeleteJuly is your month! Might as well celebrate it!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteSame weather here Grace....so seeing your July flowers is a wonderful sight! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteNow that was a sight for sore eyes! Our winter has been very, very mild so far, but there's nothing like summer flowers to light up your eyes.
ReplyDeleteOh the colors! And the sunshine! It's a feast for the eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers and plants! The Apple Blossom are really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the Pelargonium 'Apple Blossom'! Wishing you a 2016 of beautiful garden surprises. :-)
