I am just beside myself to be joining in with sweet ARTIEat COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES ...
I'm afraid I am rushing it a little...
my rose bushes aren't producing really well yet...
my Rose of Sharon's have buds all over them but....
no blooms as yet...
*
But, I decided to post anyway and will do it again when my blooms happens..:)
*
Stop by and see pretty gardens and flowers all over Blogland...
and tell Artie thanks for hosting.
*
My Star Jasmine...I just planted it this spring so it won't get too largethis summer...hoping by next, tho, that it will be climbing the old picket fence section behind it....
and produce those adorable white STARS....
can't wait... ..but I am SO not a gardener. If something lives in my garden,
it is just pure happenstance !!
*
*
This little country garden plot is at the edge of myfront lawn...it's like a little wildflower garden !
....lots of buds here...
I love day lilies
*
Dusty Miller......and I can't even remember the name of this red flower...is it verbenas?
*
HUGE clusters of flowers on the Trumpet Vine...they are really pretty this year..guess all the rain made them happy !
*NOTE TO JUSTINE...did you notice ...I spelled 'huge' right ?!!! :)
*
MR. SWEET'S topsy turvey planter tomatoes are going gangbusters...these are the cherry tomatoes...
and he also has little tiny peppers on his pepper plant..
*
*
One big tomato on the Beefeater tomato plant but lots of little yellow blooms... I happen to LOVE fried green tomatoes but I am trying to contain myself....
he wants this tomato to get bigger and ripe!!
I am hoping there will be more than one... GOOD GRIEF !
*
*
this is a photo from last season of the little purple flowers that fall off EVERY evening andhave a brand new little purple flower every morning...just blows my mind !
They haven't got into full bloom this year but will add a new photo when they do..
*
*
All the blooms are off this plant...bwaaaaa...I hope they will come back. The worst part...I didn't even think to dry them....what's wrong with me ?

De-Lovely! Stunning flowers! I greatly enjoyed your garden tour AND your shadow shot! **blows kisses** Deborah
Pretty garden! And I love tomatoes :) fresh tomatoes from ones garden are the best! Poor hydrangeas they will probably surprise you next year!
All the best,
Allison
Love the photos and the fairy dust!
Your garden sure has a lot of color! I like the blooms on the trumpet vine as well as the fading hydrangea.. It's always inspiring to see someone else's garden- I need to get up the gumption to till my own- I tend towards a brown thumb, ya know! Thanks for sharing it. :-) Sue
Gorgeous flowers, marvelous captures for shadow shot! Beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing it all! Including the fairy dust!
I enjoyed seeing your special flowers...they are stunning!
A lovely selecton of flowers and some sweet shadows! Thanks so much for joining in Shadow Shot Sunday :)
Ahhhhh, flowers take my breath they are so beautiful! We got lots of rain here and now not a drop. It is amazing how quickly things dry out. Lovely pictures! Have a blessed Sunday!
Pretty pics of your garden! Makes me want to get some flowers for my balcony.
A pretty garden -- great shots of all of the flowers.
Your flower garden is fantastic! I love the Hydrangea...I dry mine and spray them with a light gold paint and decorate with them at Christmas...your shadow shots are lovely, well done you!
Sandi
Lovely!!
BJ, your flowers are so lovely. I especially love the orange ones.....oooooooooooh!!
Just lovely.
Hugs, Barb
Beautiful...inspiring! Yes dear those are verbenas! Happy Gardening!
Ooh, prettiness all over the place, BJ! I love that shadow shot against the wall or whatever that is. Beautiful!

Justine :o )
Hi BJ! Everythng looks so pretty. The shadow pictures are neat. You are going to be enjoying those tomatoes. Woo hoo!
Garden hat and tools
waiting for the gardener
to get back to work!
oh, so pretty!
very nicely done :)
enjoyed the visit
BJ, all your blooms and greens are wonderful. I would love to have some home grown tomatoes.
Well, your plants sure look a heck of a lot better than mine here in East Texas! No rain and stifling heat makes for angry plants! Everything is just beautiful and lush there. I'm sure you have a lot to do with your yard looking this good.

Delightful shadows, and a delightful garden! Welcome to Shadow Shots.

Your garden is beautiful and I enjoyed having a look around - thank you. The hydrangea is a pretty colour.
Have a great week

Hi BJ,
Oh - goodness - what a lovely garden you have. Your shadow shot turned out great. I usually try not to shoot shadows and after looking at your photograph I will start doing some shadow shots.
Thank you so much for helping out with the dog scarf project - looks like we have 10 - 12 more bloggers who are decorting scaves from the publicity you gave us.
Have a great week.
Blessings,
Erin
I think that flower is a geranium. I love your hydrangeas.
Hi BJ! Your flowers are looking GORGEOUS! I love pretty flowers, just don't like the heat, mosquitos, weeds, etc. So if something grows in my yard (and there ARE lots of flowers) it pretty much has to be foolproof and super easy to grow. I find that if I stick with the old time native plants, I usually have better luck. You are such a treasure, and your joy for living SHINES through to make everything around you brighter! Have a great week!
Oh bj, this was stunning! I don't think you were rushing into this at all - it's all gorgeous! We have those orange daylilies too. I love them, Scott isn't so happy about them. They apparently are impervious here. Simply stunning though - and I SOOOOO appreciate you playing along with Share a Garden Sunday! You're welcome every time!
I enjoyed your garden tour. And your shadow pics are great! ~~Rhonda
You rock, BJ!
How I wish my garden is as nice & gorgeous as yours.
Lovely parade of shadows make me healthy too.
Hugs!
Your flowers are just gorgeous, BJ! My hydrangeas haven't bloomed yet, in fact they're just now forming the flower part. Everything looks lovely in your garden:-) We just got our veggie garden planted a couple of weeks ago so everything is just now starting to come up. Nothing will be ready to harvest for a few weeks, though. The growing season is so late and short here in Northern Ontario. xoxo
I was so behind on my visiting you BJ! My brother came this weekend and I havent been keeping up at all! We had a nice visit though:>) Your garden looks so beautiful, I love how dusty miller looks, I need to get some for my own garden!
