    older one, it should be very happy. Mine were young and the rabbits ate them for a few years. They like to be planted relatively shallow and just want a lot of water in the first season. After that, baring the rabbits, they should come back strong and happy! Oh, and my red hot pokers were grown from seed. Super easy to grow!

    original pink, you just can't kill. They are so easy to grow. DeAnna, am I right? I have a bunch of them, bought 2 years ago in 4 inch pots and they are huge!

  • Here's another pic of the border next to the patio, it isn't finished yet, but this gives you an idea of how pretty it is with the rose bushes in bloom. 1
  • These are the Zinnias that I started from seed
  • The Zinnias are an amazing miracle to me, as I planted them from tiny, paper thin seeds, & they grew into these magnificant flowers! They are very low maintenence, they require very little water, they are lovely.
  • I found this unususal tri colored butterfly bush. I didn't like the colors pictured on the tag, which are nothing like the actual colors on this beautiful bush! Lavendar, dark purple & white, I'm so glad I brought this home! 1
  • The Trumpet Vine groeing over the shed. I'm hoping it will attract humingbirds to the yard. Hor more pics please visit my page Flowers in Bloom, here is the link.

  • Here is the view of the front of the yard. I built this flower bed by myself. This weekend I added a clear coat to the wood, fresh mulch & new white rock. Small changes can make a big difference. 11

  • This is the flower bed that I created in front of the rose bushes. Although not in bloom now, I planted 2 kinds of Monarda, & a Liatris that is a Monarch magnet. It blooms in late summer. There was nothing here when I started. 4
  • This is on the side of the shed in front of the rose bushes. I planted Monarda, Milkweed, & a Trumpet Vine. 4
  • Here is the view on 7/8/12. I've added slowly, adding a little each paycheck. I added more Phlox, this time. I bought small plants that looked even better than the larger plants for more money!
  • This is the Buzz Petite lavendar Butterfly Bush. I love this beauty, it's a butterfly magnet! The blooms have changed color, now they are lighter in color. 1
  • There are Old Fashioned Bleeding Heart in between the bird bath & the rose bushes. They're new plants, not in bloom right now. They'll grow much larger. I added a picture of the blooms below.
  • Another updated photo taken 7/9/12
  • Here's a pic of the Clematis "President" in bloom w/the butterfly bush in the background.
  • A close up of the Clematis, it blooms like this all summer long. 1
  • Here is a view on the side of the shed, pictured is Bee Balm & Milkweed
  • 7/13/12 My garden is a work in progress, here I added more Phlox, so it's filled out a little more in the front. Every paycheck I add something new to make it more beautiful.
  • These are the blooms from the Old Fashioned Bleeding Hearts Bush.
 I hope you enjoyed the tour of the lovely spaces I created in my yard!

The yard I created at my mobile home. The main focal point is the butterfly garden.

I replaced brown grass & mud with a raised flower bed, patio & flower beds. Nearly every plant benefits the butterfly, as it is either a nectar or host plant. I added a walkway and white ...»
rocks for a clean look & to make it really pop. All of the hard work is worth it to me when I get compliments from friends & neighbors passing by.

  • To the left are the his and her's vanity cabinetry and sinks. The rope moulding along with the arches look great on the antiqued finished cabinetry. Each sink in the bathroom has its own point of use water heater for instant hot water. There is no waiting for the hot water to come in this bathroom. 5
