Sorry, folks, I can’t believe I’ve been such a slacker, but sometimes the rest of life just gets in the way of the blog life. I was in San Diego last week for a conference, over the weekend I visited the
San Diego Botanic Gardens and the Meditation Gardens at the
Self Realization Fellowship, both in Encinitas. Now, I am in Seattle at the
2011 Garden Bloggers Fling taking tons of pictures and enjoying the cool weather.
So, this is what was blooming in my garden on Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.

Hi Garden Girl,
ReplyDeleteit looks like your flowers are taking the heat really good. You have beautiful flowers.
I can't believe how nice your Black-eyed Susan look. I never could grow them in my garden.
Brought some down from KS a couple year from my parents garden and planted them but they never made it. :(
Hey Paula Jo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the complements. The black-eyed susan is in a neglected part of the garden, I guess it likes that. Where in KS do your parents live? My family is in SE Kansas.
