Flower Power

                                                               Hello everyone,
               Did you have a  good weekend? We had a garden tour with people from across Canada and met some lovely gardeners-even got an invitation to visit in Victoria B.C.-how nice is that?  We got enough rain to at least perk the garden up a little.

 On Saturday Andrew and I went for a drive along our beautiful coast(more on that later) and I took a few pics of flowers along the way. Isn't this a beautiful dahlia?

                                                          We all love sunflowers!

                                                             Gladiolas

                                               Clematis and hydrangea in our garden.

                                                               Beautiful!

                                      I love Russian Sage and this was a good year for it-hot & dry!

                                                             Rudbeckia

                                  Buckets of flowers from our June garden for a wedding for a sweet young lady in our church.

               Lots of pretty peonies were used to make the casual bouquets that she wanted.

                               Seems like yesterday these were blooming.

We have a high count of butterflies here on the Island this year-which is a very good thing! This one is enjoying a butterfly bush which is a magnet for them. Alas,mine did not winter over for some reason.

Wherever you are I hope you are enjoying some beautiful flowers either indoors or out.

Thank you for visiting and welcome to my new followers .To all who left sweet comments -Thank-you!

Take care,

Carolyn
