Beauty and Bewilderment

Holly has always loved beautiful flowers, but she knew nothing about varieties or how to grow them.  When I lived with her for five years in Dallas taking care of Little Buddy and Big Sis, I helped her learn the different types and which ones did best in the sun or the shade.
Now, she has lovely flowers all around her house.  I took some pictures of her beds to share with you.

This is the left bed in front.  Her impatiens are doing really well as are her roses.  You can see the orange rose shrub and her miniature red rose bush beside it.

This is the right bed in the front.  She has impatiens, hydrangeas, roses, a crepe myrtle and an hibiscus in this bed.   There's also a crepe myrtle and matching shrubbery on the other side.

Her left back bed of periwinkles.  The smaller  bushes at the end are a new variety of azaleas which bloom spring, summer, and fall.  They are just putting on buds for their summer bloom.

The right back flower bed.  The flowers in view are a miniature crepe myrtle and hydrangeas.

Holly's hibiscus in the right back bed.
Now, on to a more serious note.  I have someone who has been accessing my account late at night and recently as often as five or six times in the last twenty-four hours.  The times range from the middle of the night, to early morning, to during the day, to evening.  
I know exactly the household; what I don't know is which individual at this residence it is.  This man and woman lost their only child, who was twenty, in a car accident in December.
Like any parent, I emphathize with their pain.  However, I have made it repeatedly clear to the woman that I do not wish any contact with her. That includes reading my posts.  I really think, if it is she, that she needs to focus on her personal healing process rather than on me.
If, on the other hand,  it is he; then it is probably time for an explanation. I'm trying to give him the time and the space he needs to deal with his loss as well.  
Whatever I may or may not do will never be hinted at--much less revealed--in any of my posts. So, if that is what you are looking for, you are really stressing over something that I never plan to reveal.

The pictures are beautiful. It takes a lot of water in Oklahoma to get good results but this year we have gotten more rain than usual.

Same for Texas, obviously. I had to water every day while Holly and Bevan were on vacation. However, Hurricane Alex has provided lots of rain this week as well as wonderfully cooler temperatures.

Great garden ----all those flowers are grown here as well --- the hibiscus is one we dare not plant anywhere near drains its roots very smartly blocks them ---and OH! the lawn is actually green -- water restrictions has made us get rid of lawns

We actually have not had to water our yards this summer as we have had abundant rainfall. As a matter of fact, it has rained all this past week, the result of Hurricane Alex in Mexico to our South.

I love periwinkle. Lots of northern plants don't do well in the Florida heat. Hibiscus down here seem to do okay even in bad weather like our recent winter season. Lantana in our urns is beautiful but needs constant vigilance because it is so susceptible to fungus. Periwinkle has to be trimmed or it ropes out and looks bad. I am learning but still let a lot of things die through neglect.

Plants do require a lot of TLC. And bugs or fungus are a constant problem. They have to be sprayed at least once a month.

We have flowers all over the place from Mary Todd and Stella di Orio plus more.More flowers than vegetables in the garden.

You have a great summer climate for growing flowers as well as fruits and vegetables.
reply by redimpala on July 2, 2010 7:48 PM ()
The flowers that do well down there are so different from ours. That's what makes it so much fun to see pictures. Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome. You'll have to post some pictures of the type flowers that you grow in your area.
reply by redimpala on July 2, 2010 7:49 PM ()
You can never have too many flowering plants-we have hibiscus all over the property--al colors
comment by greatmartin on July 2, 2010 10:08 AM ()
Hibiscus are one of my very favorite flowers. They are so bright and vibrant.
