I love to plant different combinations of plants in a pot, creating a living tableau of colors & textures.
Even on a cloudy day like today the patio offers a pleasant respite.
I plant annuals every year at this time but I am also always happily surprised by the reappearance of perennials, like the pink columbine ....
....& the giant Monk's rhubarb that never fail to appear.
The blueberry bush gets bigger every year. The flowers need the help of bees to produce fruit though.
Today I saw this large jewel like rain drop that had collected on a lupin leaf.
It's beauty had a sad quality to me. It reminded me of a tear drop. Perhaps that is because today my thoughts have been with the people of Oklahoma who have lost so much.
your flower pots are so charming with various color. it must give good positive energy!
