Flowers Of The Day

Just a few more photos of new flower growth in the gardens. I don't remember what they are called, but the first thing that comes to my mind when I look at them, would be Tinkerbells. I had 2 readers tell me that they were hyacinths...grape hyacinths - Armeniacum Muscari to be precise. Thanks to both California Girl and Deerfriend for the help on the type of flowers these are.

More Photos Of Brookgreen Gardens

I went through several years of photos that I have taken and I found several more of Brookgreen Gardens. This batch should be better than the last. We have been to Brookgreen Gardens twice. These are of the 2nd visit. We had a better camera with us this time. I hope that you enjoy these.

The sign said "Please Don't Feed The Bears" Pardon me sir..I just wanted to see how the Red Sox did last night. Wow...they demolished the Yankees again!!!! The Red Sox Nation rules!!!!
Hard to believe that they made a statue based on me....huh!!!

What Once Was - Is No More

I have been spending some time cleaning out all of the gardens around the house. With the weather being so warm, some of the day lilies are still trying to grow. Once a good hard freeze, they will finally quit trying to grow and they will go dormant. Until then it seems like every couple of weeks I cut them down to just above ground level. Below are the last couple of irises that are blooming. This is the first year that they have bloomed so late in the year. It must be the warmer weather.

Asters And Butterflies

The flowers are just about done for another year. These are what are left of the full gardens. The flowers with the butterfly and bee are a form of Asters. The other flower is the last of the irises that I had. All of the flowers did well this year. Now comes the job of cleaning out the gardens and then we wait until the process starts all over again.
