Some of my flowers...

[HotPepperQueen]

Just wanted to show off some of my flowers around the yard since I seem to be in a picture posting mood! Enjoy

In front of the house. Coleus, petunias, Match Sticks (little flower in the bottom planter), Pony Tail (ornamental grass in bottom planter), Lemon Basil, and Mojito Mint.

My bird baths!

Big front flower garden. Many different varieties of lilies, blood leaf, dahlias, petunias, moss roses, daisies, columbine, zinnias, coleus, and who knows what else

My big planter. There is a coleus, potato leaf, some different kind of petunia, and I'm not sure what is in the middle.

My new roses I planted last year. They are so hardy!

My lily "Pixie Dust"

I love these little things. So colorful and add a different texture to the garden

My "Limelight" Hydrangea is doing great so far!

My favorite plant. It's called Cerveza and Lime. When you rub the leaves it smells like fresh limes. Smells so good!

Our new chairs. They don't match the house at all, but the colors are so striking I had to have them. Working on finding a new end table though...

Utilizing the old milk cans I found in Grandpa's barn.

My newest Day Lily

Pretty little daisy I found at the garden center this year.

Beautiful flowers HPQ, the milk can from your grandpas barn is very special. Do you know the name of your new rose? Is it fragrant?
I see you've made good use of a lot of coleus, aren't they great fillers?

Oh, and your little iron birdbath is identical to one of mine!

Very pretty! I like your chairs and the lime plant looks interesting.

HPQ your flowers look great!!! I need to get the pictures of mine posted. They are filling out good too.

I love those chairs, too. Are they refinished old chairs, or reproductions of the old metal chairs we remember from 50 years ago?

Hot peppers to add color to your menu .

. . and, lots of color in your flower garden adding color to your landscape.

This is a re-occurring theme, isn't it? Any vacancies in your neighborhood that an old guy needing garden space could move into?

Love everything! You obviously have taken great care to create such a lovely yard. I hope you spend lots of relaxing time in those chairs, enjoying the beautiful oasis you have created!

Everything is so lush and colorful! I love color in the garden. Those chairs are adorable and I just love that torquoise birdbath.

Thank you! Those are old chairs. I bought them from a "shabby chic" type store and got the pair for $27. Then I asked my mom to make the cushions to help tie them in better.

I love using coleus in my garden and planters. They last forever and are super hardy. And so colorful!

I'm not sure the name of the new rose. My parents gave them to me for my birthday- I'll ask her and get back to you! They are very fragrant though.
