And you have all your flowers named, I love that ( I know they come with names, but I love the way you think of them as unique individuals ... No wonder they bloom so beautifully for you.).

Isn't it uncanny how a plant that is not blooming or performing will suddenly pull up its socks the year you finally decide it has to go? Personally, I think the garden fairies convince these plants they better shape up! :-)<br />Do you use peony rings for the heavy doubles that like to droop Ann? Lee Valley has some fabulous huge ones I use on mine and you can raise or lower the hoop as required.<br />Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.<br />Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-59946984901121074152015-06-15T16:45:07.048-06:002015-06-15T16:45:07.048-06:00The garden is looking wonderful and here we are ge...The garden is looking wonderful and here we are getting almost daily rain....I had never thought of growing strawberries from baskets and will have to give it a try....I am working on a new strawberry bed for the fall.Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-35101289158456529342015-06-15T13:11:05.681-06:002015-06-15T13:11:05.681-06:00Lovely photo's of the garden spot Ann!
