August 03, 2013
You are about to take a virtual tour of my sister in law's flower gardens.
They are something to behold! A riot of color from both annuals and perennials, sprinkled everywhere with whimsy!
North Corner Bed:
This flower bed has an abundance of perennials, including liatris in the right front corner, hostas, lilies, with zinnia and nasturium annuals.
South Corner Bed:
Fun bricks, tin and iron path.
The Patio Area:
More colorful zinnias.
Petunias in a laundry tub.
I hope you enjoyed this tour of the my sister in law's garden, better known as the "Yard of Flowers".

OMYGOSH....what wonderful gardens...I would love to take a stroll thru her whole yard. Just beautiful ....
ReplyDeleteThe flower beds are amazing, wow the color is something to see...such an abundance of color and variety..love all the geraniums they are so lush..thanks for sharing the beautiful photos..
ReplyDeleteOh WOW. It all looks so wonderful. How does she keep up with that? Well, she does an amazing job at it, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteLet her know she is more than welcome to come and play in my yard!!!
Wow! Your SIL is a busy lady! Her "yard of flowers" is amazing and very impressive. I can tell she spends many hours in her gardens. She must live in a cooler climate than central TX. I'm envious! The bed of zinnias is stunning. I like the way she mixed the regular large zinnias with the smaller dwarf plants and then use alyssum for the border. Fun to see all the variety and the different whimsical touches she has added to the gardens. Thanks for sharing!
