what's blooming in my so-called garden

So-called because it is so overgrown I don't want to claim it. However, when I looked out my deck door off the bedroom this morning, I couldn't resist photographing these morning glories. My dear grandmother called these "heavenly blue".



Not to be outdone, the trumpet vine is in full flower. Note the honey bee visitor in the right hand blossom.


And finally, this is a variety of clematis given to us by the mother of our next door neighbor. It is in its second flowering for the season! It has been a really good year for some types of plants.


If you have not entered my first blogging anniversary drawing for a piece of my handmade jewelry, go here.

Oooh, pretty. My garden's a disgrace. I don't go out there at all now. Half dug vegetable patches. Mossy grass. It's too horrid. (And it hasn't really stopped raining for 6 weeks!) xx
