Summer Flowers in Reno

Had to post tonight before you thought I had disappeared off the face of Reno...here it is, June 23rd, and I am posting Summer Flower pics...almost two months after my last post! I almost forgot my typepad code:(. I've been busy with lots of stuff; more to follow on that, but here are some quick snaps of the backyard that I had to share...

 

Pretty cool for a petunia! Direct from Carson City.

 

Rosebud - the wet spring really benefitted the roses.

 

Rose - and wow, what a scent! 

 

Another Rose, pretty in its own right

   

Alpine Strawberry Plant Blooms

 

Nasinga Purple Whirligig. Serious.    

 

Mock Orange blooms - fragrant!

More to follow on Friday, when I venture into the Front Yard! And hopefully I'll have a new technology solution so I don't have to go to extreme measures to download and post photos. 

Have A Creative Day!

Reno Spring

Photos taken just in the nick of time. Huge windstorm last night blew all the blossoms off everything.

Summer Update

These are my out-of-control tomato plants - lots of plant material but so-so on the tomato production

I bought some other flowering plants this year besides my usual standards. Living dangerously I guess.
This one is called monarda/blue stocking.

Here's a photo of Miss Lucy. Since she's in the baby in the family she often gets overlooked. But she is one big, brown eyed sweetheart!
