My husband and I were walking around the garden admiring how lovely it's looking at the moment--but we also talked about all the things we'd planted that had turned up their toes!<br />Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-73060069420512634952014-11-10T02:41:59.759-08:002014-11-10T02:41:59.759-08:00I'm a 50/50 gardener.

I have a lot of pine trees and not a ton of sunny areas so maybe it's not all my fault.<br /><br />My favorite flowers are hibiscus. Closely followed by gardenias and gerbera daisies.<br /><br />Love your flowers. <br /><br /><br />johns lake at usa dot comLaurie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533221100348874087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-61211996051486960592014-11-09T22:48:16.755-08:002014-11-09T22:48:16.755-08:00Glad you liked them Cindy!

He worked so hard on it, back-breaking work. I adore pansies too, I planted a whole packet of them this year and not one came up - don't know what I did wrong!
