Purple Haze

 

Thanks to all the Pup drama I don't get outside much which is a shame because it really has been a lovely summer. I did notice when I had Pup out for her brief morning walk yesterday that all my summer blooms were blooming. 




I have rows and rows of pretty purple hosta flowers lining the sidewalks front and back.



My hydrangea isn't blooming like it usually does because it suffered a lot of damage when my poor pine tree out front went over. I had to trim it back and only the remaining top is in flower but the blooms that are there are a lovely lavender this year for some reason or another. 




Speaking of lavender....last year I made up a pot of mixed herbs and accidentally bought lavender when I thought I had bought sage. I have never had lavender bloom when I have tried to grow it on purpose but this one managed to put up some spikes of flowers. Go figure.




Oddly, everything in my herb pot survived a long winter of neglect which was a big surprise. Since I've been too preoccupied with my never ending disasters I've had no time to think about planting anything anywhere this year. It's a good thing Mother Nature had my back.

  1. Well, our hostas are mostly gone thanks to the deer. But, we have some pretty purple thistles blooming!

  2. Mother Nature did a pretty good job!!! My hydrangea doesn't look like it is going to bloom this year. So far, no buds. Lots of leaves. No buds! :-(

  5. I love all of the blooming hostas! The hydrangea is gorgeous, too. I think the herbs always do better the next year and the more you don't mess with them, the happier they are!
