I Love This Blooming Place Garden Tour 2021
August 02, 2021
Welcome back to my Cousin Sue's "Blooming Place". In 2017, I shared a Blooming Place tour HERE, and also in 2012 HERE.

I really like Sue's plastic rock edging, and it has held up really well over the years.
I have labeled many of the larger plantings. The closeups will highlight the single plants.
This close up shot is sea of yellow and orange! The plants are annual Lady Godiva Yellow and Orange Calendulas.
I planted them in my garden this year for the first time. I highly recommend them.
It's the perfect time of the season for Sue's Black Eyed Susan perennials.
When I first looked at this plant, I thought it was an ornamental cabbage of some kind, but it's really a Frilly Echeveria succulent.
A pot of annual baby's breath is in behind the succulent.
The bunny is surrounded by a golden succulent plant, gazanias, a Johnny jump up, calendulas and a Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth.
I never really grow Gazanias, but maybe I have to start. This variety, Big Kiss White Flame is gorgeous.
A new addition to the garden is this Evergreen Mosaic Globe Garden Stake that lights up with solar power.
Smaller plants and pots along the garden edge.
From left, are more Lady Godiva Yellow Calendulas, Diamond Frost Euphorbias, and a Rondo Blue Penstemon.
A view from above.
One of my favorites, the Globe Thistle in the back row, along with Baby Joe Pye Weed that is just starting to bloom.
This is an underused and under-loved annual for sure. This Cuphea Honeybells is just loaded with blossoms.
Annual Marigolds in a rectangular deck planter.
These gorgeous marigolds in the hanging basket are Janie Golds.
A mixture of pink petunias, verbenas and geraniums in one pot with pink diascia and purple salvia in the other.

Another Cuphea Hybrid Vermillionaire is planted with a pink lantana, and a red petunia. A great combo.
Red zonal geraniums and white petunias just covered in blossoms!
Yellow Lantana, pink Calibrachoa, and Magenta Nemesia.
A beautiful pot grouping on the deck.
Sue's colorful birdhouse, mounted on the fence, was handmade by her friend Grace of Amazing Grace Mosiacs.
This Evergreen 75-inch Cheerful Jubilee Kinetic Wind Spinner Garden Stake is a new addition to Sue's yard and gardens this year.
I hope you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for visiting!

Deletethanks for sharing all her beautiful plantings, Carlene. I'm always interested in seeing what plants work well with each other. (I've had a few that just didn't work) I'm pinning this to my gardening board!
