If you are back to enjoy another garden tour you will not be disappointed. The flowers are flourishing this summer.
Last year I added a new daisy, it is called Crazy Daisy and I just love it.
Its frilly and fanciful.
And just plain fun!
I actually have 3 Crazy Daisy plants placed about, and they are all unique. The one above has short and fluffy petals, while its sister, below has long lacy petals that drape elegantly.
There is an abundance of blossoms on each plant.
I don’t think Crown Princess Margareta likes the spot she is in, she has not done well at all the past two summers so come Fall I shall move her. This is the best bloom I have gotten from her so far.
I was quite pleasantly surprised to find this clematis blooming on the same trellis as William Baffin rose. I had forgotten I planted a clematis with each climbing rose. This one is more blue that Warsaw Nike, I just cannot recall the name.
I love when things cross pollinate. This is larkspur, the pink has crossed with the purple. I had another like this last year in an entirely different part of the garden.
Technicolor.
The Black Eyed Susans have just begun to bloom. The will carry on from now until frost providing non-stop happy color.
A overall view from the side street.
As I have mentioned before though yellow and orange seem to have taken over I do have some pink flowers still too.
Petal Pusher roses
a delicate pink yarrow.
And a late blooming iris in lavender.
Of course there is Audrey…my trombolina zucchini starting to creep out of the hot bed. I need to build a sturdy trellis for her.
My very first David Austin English rose, I bought it on clearance eons ago. I had heard a little about the English roses when I spotted this poor guy, it was on clearance because it looked so poorly. I don’t know if the nursery failed to care for it properly or what but it was to my benefit. I felt sorry for it and took it home on the cheap and fell in love with how English roses perform in my garden.

I will leave you with one of my latest favorites. this little delicate rose is a trooper. The delicate little white roses cover this thing, and are not bigger than a nickel. This lovely little trooper blooms along the ground and roots wherever it touches.
It adds an airy feel to the garden.
I am glad you could join me for this latest edition of my garden.
All it needs is Pink Flamingos! I have two personal scouts out tracking me down some as we speak. 
Come see what I have been up to in my studio!
Hi all, a short post to share some fresh blooms. Have I mentioned how much I love my garden this time of year?? I am sure I have.
Sweet peas are one of my favorites, not only the sweetest scent that perfumes a large area but they have the most delicate blooms. This one is a favorite of mine, it is called High Scent. The name says it all.
I have it planted in a pot and the pot sits on my back deck, so when I sit out under the umbrella at the table I can relish the sweet scent as I enjoy my meal.
I am still tickled about my Crazy Daisy. It just makes me smile each time I see it, it just fills out more and more. I can’t wait to be able to separate it and make more plants. I did start it from seed but not all came out nice and frilly like this one so the only way to get a true duplicate is to divide it at the root once it has gotten larger.
My black eye susies are opening up..I just love the burnished ones, such a contrast to their pure yellow neighbors.
The Feverfew comes back thicker each year, it readily reseeds itself but it is easy enough to yank out where I do not want it, but makes great filler between my other flowers.
I have always favored the rich blue lobelia and never really bothered with others but this year the only trailing lobelia came in mixed six packs so I went ahead bought it for my window boxes to nestle between the petunias. I think I now have a new favorite. I just love the touch of blue trimming the white on this one, I will definitely save the seeds!
This is a rose I bought from The Antique Rose Emporium, it is called Pam’s Pink, you can guess why I had to have it. What I love about old roses is if some freak freeze or other catastrophe kills it then it comes back from the root. Another favorite I have gotten from them is called Kirsten Poulson. That has got to be one of the toughest roses and it blooms non-stop all summer long.
Other than being in my garden I have been working on a very few signs, I am nearly out of Laundry signs on my website so I have been trying to restock. The shabby reclaimed boards make for unique signs, each one is definitely different.
I had thought to be out and about today but had forgotten I am awaiting a delivery that must be signed for, so home bound I am. Not to worry, I have TONS to get done around here and this forces me to be home to do it.
Off to work I go!
Oh, and another note..I had some neighbors complain I had not included their houses in my Neighborhood post so I shall be doing a sequel post soon! Stay tuned. I think I should do a neighborhood garden post. Lots of cottage gardens here! Some with plants that were put in the ground in the 30’s and were supposedly brought west with the 49’ers.
