Just a short tour of the garden/yard. I'm sort of a lazy gardener, so the pictures are strategically taken - meaning the photos make the garden look much better than it really does. Granted, there are some nice flowers in my yard, but the overall picture doesn't look that great. Due to the drought, I am trying to do my part to conserve water, so things are turning a bit brown now. The "lawn" has definitely seen better days, but I would rather use the water for flowers than for a pathetic patch of grass. I'm sure the bees will back me up on this.
These aren't exactly my favorite roses but they were here when I moved in so I would like to do right by them, and they make some of the prettiest dried roses ever.
Isn't this a cute little bud?
Ever wonder what to do with onions that have been hanging around so long they start to sprout? Stick them in the ground and this is what you get.
These just appeared. I don't know how many times I saw this little sprout, almost pulled it up, and then thought better of it because it looked like it could turn into some kind of a flower. I'm glad I let it grow because it turned into a snapdragon.
These are the ultimate lazy gardener flowers - geraniums! Pretty, prolific and take next to zero effort.
I absolutely adore poppies, but they're looking a bit scraggly/dead now and I have had to pull a lot of them up and compost them. The pincushion flowers are merrily blooming away, as are the sunflowers. I hope they all survive my vacation....
