True Blue

Blog entry by Iris43 posted 86 days ago 218 reads 0 times favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites

I have been away for the last couple weeks, and low and behold, this is what finally started blooming while I was away. I planted the seeds late(I always do) and I wondered if I would see them bloom. You’d think I’d learn to get them in the ground earlier as ‘Heavenly Blue’ is one of my favorite flowers. Such a true blue colour for the garden.

After the rain yesterday, I took this picture————-

And last but not least——3 little princes (Waiting for the majic kiss) ;-D

GranT—No prince yet, and I throw them kisses every morning, :D I guess they prefer their watery domain.
I love the heart-shaped leaves too, and the lovely lime-green colour of them. The other ‘wild’ morning glories have a darker green leaf. They look nice together.
When you consider that they have only been planted for about 6 weeks, they are not doing too badly and they do bring that lovely blue to the garden and some fresh looking flowers bf the cool weather discourages everything.
Thanks for your kind comments everyone. I love to share my pics and you are an easy audience. :)

speaking of frogs: I happened to look out the door this morning at my pond and saw one of the visiting frogs leap across the lily pads in my pond… one of the leaps ended up on the goldfish… the fish never moved and the frog carried on..
right place; right time

HaHaHa. I could just imagine that, MsD. Frog watching is one of my favorite pasttimes. :)

GranT, I was looking at Bon’s fall display for the front of her house, and it looks lovely, but oh-h-h winter is just around the corner.

Yes, Bon’s fall display is really lovely … she is so creative. I figured with her posting she has given the rest of us “license” to post a few of our fall flowers/arrangements too. :-) I am like you … I do love fall and it’s colors; even the cooler sweathshirt/sweater weather.
