Choice Morsels

The Mama Kat prompt I've chosen today is to "Show Us Something Beautiful." My Dutch Iris have been extravagant this year! I have a vase of them in the house. Very cheery. It's the reason I grow flowers---to have a free vase of flowers in the house!  And My Favorite Azalea's This one Azalea in my back yard is the only one that bloomed profusely this year! I love the large these large fluffy single blooms!

Today, in the morning, I went shopping for "garden stuff."  Got a new mailbox---plastic this time instead of metal. The old one was metal and it's leg has rusted nearly clean through! Plus I got the stick-on lettering and numbers to use on it---pretty gold and black. (In the past I've painted my own lettering on, but decided to save time with stick on.) Also fresh one Chocolate Mint, one German Thyme, 2 Lantana & 1 pack of mixed color Petunias.  So, this afternoon I did some planting. The Petunia's were spread among several container gardens. The Garden Pic is a nice shot of my favorite Azaleas! I love these! Large pale pink single type blossom with all that adorable medium pink dotting on the upper petal. I looked up the color pattern and these are called "George Tabor Azaleas."  They're a sun hardy, drought resistant variety--basically perfect for my locale.
