A certain someone stuck in Florida for a couple more weeks tending to the man with the new knee, who is doing better than average according to the doctors, says I am not posting enough pictures of her garden.

I've been busy lately.

Now if someone was to want to pay me to stroll the garden and blog all day everyday, I am open to the notion. Like I don't blog everyday now.

The
Phlox nivalis is back. I found that a few days ago and stopped to take its picture today.

I guess you could say a leisurely stroll is a good stretching exercise after a long day of work. The
Euphorbia I am to tired to look up the species is looking sharp. I dug up a bunch of runners creeping into the vegetable garden and planted them on the other side of the drive by my mailbox. Now I will have matching clumps of Euphorbia at the entrance.

There are certain hazards involved in shopping for plants for clients. Things like
Erysimum linifolium 'Bowles Mauve' end up coming home with me.

Oh it is way past my bedtime and company is coming tomorrow. I need to clean up all the hairballs and dead bugs in the house.

I am sure there will be time for a garden stroll. I don't know if it will be blogged.

Enjoy your Tree Peony. I made sure the caterpillars did not eat them up this year and there will be plenty of peony blooms to show.
