Every year I plant flowers in pots and in the little front garden bed outside the studio window. I let the roses alone along one side of the house, and the glads and fig tree, too. The front bed reseeds itself, and at times I add to it. The side patio, though, is where the fun often is to be found. There are some permanent plants, such as bulbs which return every spring. Then there are herbs and flowers and tomatoes (although not this year). Here are some of the lovelies I have in bloom today.
And there you have a few. Some last a long time, others fade away in days. The joy of a garden, the cycle of life, the fragrance of flowers, the hum of bees – add a bit of sun, a good book, a comfy chair and birdsong, and a slice of heaven to be had and held.

Beautiful flowers and photos!
Nice photos, all. I especially like the 2nd image (of the white flower) and the basil. J xoxox
Thanks, Judy! If you would like the white flower (ixia?), when I sort out bulbs, I will give you some. You could keep them in a pot or put them in the yard. The leaves are about 3 feet tall and the flower stalk 4-4.5.
Thanks, Anne!
Sure, some ixia or whatever it is would be nice. J
Lovely flowers and photos!
You got it, Judy. Any other bulbs or seeds?
Thanks, Fraggy!
I can’t think of any right now. Thanks.
🙂
