Flower garden

Tweet

Many of us are waiting for spring to arrive so I thought I'd share my previous flower garden with you. For several reasons none of these are currently a part of my garden. Maybe this year I'll be able to begin replacing some of them. The top one and the one on the left are Dusty Miller's. They are used as accent plants but I like their silvery color.. They die out in the winter but can come back the next year with some pruning. The next one on the right is an aster. It's somewhat similar to mum's and they come up year after year usually but oddly enough their location changes within the same bed. The next two are mum's. One bright yellow and the other pink. And lastly is a violet which grows until winter then comes back the next spring and grows until winter again and then dies. Some years back I 'hired' one of my employees to weed my garden while I was sleeping after working the night shift. I had showed him all my beloved flowers but he hadn't any clue after all. He pulled most of my flowers out and left all the weeds. He also pulled out my day lillie's the yellow type and the rusty ones. Those I was able to salvage the rest I lost from his weeding efforts or lack of rain. After talking to a lawncare owner I learned that employees with them never figured it out either. They couldn't tell the difference between annuals and perennials once they were past their prime.
