A few pics....

[Snowwark]

I hope this works!

Some of you have seen this pic before. This is our gate leading into the backyard. DH and I designed it and had it made for us.

These are the Geums that I mentioned in Amid's POTW thread.

This last pic is of DH and I relaxing on the deck after a hard day of gardening. The left side of the shed has a beam with a bench swing. Hopefully I'll get a picture of it posted one of these days.

BWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! What is DH sipping on? A little tote of iced tea? A dram of whiskey? A Snapple????

Great pics. You have some sense of humor, Kim......

 

[DixieDreamer]

That is so beautiful! I have always loved your gate and shed. Your garden has a definite sense of purpose and harmony to it. The last picture was a hoot! DH looks like he has been sipping on that concoction for a while already! LOL!

 

[Snowwark]

I believe it's tequila DH is sipping on, and yes it may have stunted his growth somewhat, but he's still a great conversation piece.......oops ...I meant to say conversationalist.....

BTW, what is the little creeper in front of the geum? I like the coloring of it!

 

[NHMickey]

Your garden is beautiful

 

[Snowwark]

Thank you!

Gina, the little "creeper" is black leaf clover.

 

[amid chaos]

Hi Maleficent!

It shouldn't be too difficult to find the bronze beauty/black leaved clover, I've seen it at almost every garden centre (up here anyway!) Make sure to check in the ground cover section. If you find it, be forewarned that it is very aggressive once it gets going and you'll need to keep it in check!

I have never seen it here we have a purple oxalis but it is solid purple not varigated as this one is.

We also have Iron Cross Oxalis but the leaves are much larger than that one also.

Is this a true Oxalis?


If so then it will have cormers/bulbs if anyone has this I would be more than happy to pay for postage to get some.



Thanks


Mal

Just beautiful, Kim. I'm not surprised that even your yard is perfect LOL @ that last photo...that's your dh?

 

[TimNDansMom]

Beautiful garden pictures, Kim. I haven't seen the black leaf clover before, I'll have to look for it around here. Funny, John doesn't look at all the way I remember him! LOL

 

[Rajah]

Absolutely beautiful, Kim!! I love your fence and "your" pictures

 

[Snowwark]

Thank you!

Kath, it's never perfect enough!!

Maleficent, here's a link to Trifolium Repens Atropurpureum (wow!), where you can purchase it online if you can't find it in your area.

It's under Clover Queens .

I hope this helps.
