Brighten you day with beautiful flowers

Flowers are a lot of work.  Thankfully this year in Ohio we just enough rain to keep them hardy.  They are not perfect but I think they are just beautiful and they brighten my day so I thought they would brighten your day as well.

Chocolate mint

A rose from my rose bush.  Anyone know what kind it is?

Before & After Pics of My Flower Garden

Most of you saw my poor little flower garden when I first got it ready.  Well today it is healthy, striving and I think it looks beautiful.  I love full gardens like wildflowers growing.  I need to rearrange a few things, the wolves are now hidden, the bucket display is hidden (next year I will move it to the front) my Achilles has not  grown in two years until this year and boy have they sprung up hiding my buckets.  Lessons learned but still pretty. Perfection is not need for beauty.

The whole experience with flower gardens is in the growth and the beauty.
