What's growing Friday?

Can you believe it's Friday again already? This
week has flown by, for me, at least!

Here's what's growing in my yard right this morning:

The daylilies are beginning to bloom . . .


as are the clematis! I'll try and get a pic of
the lilies and the clematis when more of them
open up.


Here's the yucca--not blooming yet, but the flower
stalks are coming up in all the plants.


Baby grapes!


And our hydrangea bush--which only blooms when it
feels like it--has two different colored flowers
coming on on the same plant!

Now it's your turn--what's growing with you? In
your yard, garden, art or sewing space, or your
kitchen, whatever new is growing with you, feel
free to leave me a link; I'd love to stop by this
weekend and have a look!
===============================
This just in--the fantastic fun box of goodies
arrived from Gerri today, so I had to make a little
something at least, right? The image is from June
at Dezinaworld
; it reminded me of the three muses,
and believe me, I needed some inspiration this week!

(Not too bad a pic for indoors at night!)
Thank you again, ladies!

  2. How on earth do you manage to have 2 different colour flowers on your hydrangea bush?!

    Beautiful lush photos, all green and fresh and lovely.

    Wishing you a lovely weekend.

  5. So pretty, Trish! I grew hydrangeas at the old place.....mine were pink, but my favorite was when they started to age....they'd turn green...I loved them like that the most!

    Our yard is still largely weeds, but the roses that were here before us are in full bloom, as are the hibiscus and jasmine (I just love their fragrance) :)

  6. Yep! Hydrangeas have a mind of their own. If you want them to be pink there must be iron in the soil; the more iron the more pink blooms you will have. People would bury an iron nail from the railroads by these plants to make the blooms turn pink. So now you know!

  7. I'd heard that about burying iron around the plant, but couldn't remember which color it turned--pink would make sense though, duh!

    The only thing I've ever done for this bush is give it water; it was here when we moved in . . . in case you all aren't noticing, if it weren't for perennials, we wouldn't have much besides grass and trees in our yard!!

  11. Oh how I wish my Clematis would be flowering as yours is, mine died back to the ground this year.
    I do have some fabulous rhodies blooming although everything is a month late here, we've had a cooler than usual spring.

  12. What's growing with me? JUST finished my last class (Watercolor, creative writing, and memoir)! Plus, I just adopted Molly, a Saint Bernard Puppy. What ever grows in my garden, does so on it's own.
    Sweet blessings,
