Hanging out on the Yucca. #snail #lifeintheslowlaneSuper excited to see buds on my #clematisurophylla ! It will provide some much needed winter cheer. 😊Having a bit of a weepy day. Our beloved #mannemantsotso was diagnosed with bone cancer this week. As a family, we have decided to take him out of his misery sooner rather than later.

Not very practical, though. #suckeringshrubsThe somber state of these #leucanthemums sum up my state of emotion after last week’s violence rather well.I guess the flowers are alright too, but what I really like about #verbascum is the #seedheads . I just love them planted against a wall or another background that properly shows them off. Here, @joycreeknursery the saffron #fallcolor of #amsoniahubrichtii makes them stand out. Just love it! 💕Advertisements
