To keep down yard maintainance, he bought a large bag of wildflower seeds and just scattered them everywhere. Nothing was lovlier than sitting on the back porch and looking out on a giant nature's bouquet. On an especially good day, some deer would join the party. For anyone with a large yard and a dislike of mowing, I would highly recommend it.jerinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-34050948621901678162012-07-06T19:43:34.841-04:002012-07-06T19:43:34.841-04:00You've got a good eye for floral arranging, Gi...You've got a good eye for floral arranging, Gina - that first bouquet is beautiful!

It included mountain laurel, daisy, roses, corn flower, lupine and many other "weed" flowers that I'm not familiar with though I ought to know the names of. It was so nice and lasted quite a while on my little table. I'm not sure if anyone took a picture, but wish they had. It is a pleasure to see all the flowers this year. They are doing really well with a good mixture of rain and sunshine.

But I do love to see a few in the garden. I love to see the spring flowers coming in the garden after the dark winter and then the variety of summer colours. Lovely! If I'm given a bunch of flowers, I usually pass them on to a friend and make their day and I get the pleasure of seeing that too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-35502974402001437492012-07-06T02:22:18.763-04:002012-07-06T02:22:18.763-04:00Oh beautiful flowers .... have a good day

I just love that idea. Gina, your neglect is definitely less than mine. My garden had come to nothing this year (or last, or the one before that!) and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Maybe when we move I'll have better luck. I could do with a few gardener friends to give me some encouragement I think. xxxLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717834610233292334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-80513994876486004492012-07-05T14:36:37.654-04:002012-07-05T14:36:37.654-04:00Hi Gina, Your arrangement of cut flowers are just...Hi Gina, Your arrangement of cut flowers are just beautiful!
