Yellow Straw Flower
Yellow Straw Flower Bud
I planted some straw flowers this year in the biggest container that I had. Slowly, they grew, and the straw flower buds began to emerge. The first bud got eating half way through by ants.
July SKy 2012
First Week of July
Michigan has living up to its true hot summer weather for July! We have many days when the temperature was over 100. With such scorching heat, we took refuge in the cooling air of our house, and barely went outside.
Coreopsis Tinctoria Mix
Coreopsis Tinctoria In Early Bloom
This is one of the flowers in my wild flowers mixed box! I love the yellow petals with maroon center. It has a delicate stem and continuously blooms throughout the summer. Though this coreopsis tinctoria is an annual flower, it will self sow and easy to grow.
Pretty Cloud In the Sky
Formation
Look up, way way up there and you will always find pretty cloud to see. Don't you remember when you were little and toys were rare, you played the guessing game of cloud formation? Those were simpler days, and simple game but so good for your mind!
Deep Orange Lilies
Growing Deep Orange Lilies
These are the gorgeous deep orange lilies by my front porch. Under full sun, the orange looked almost red. These lilies came back year after year, and seemed to multiply in stalks.
It Is a Hot Day

After the Rain
Pretty Mushroom
After many scorching days of heat wave, we finally have two days of rain, and the earth loves it. The rain brought the dried yellow grass back to life, and I found mushrooms shooting up around the yard.

Gardening On a Dollar
Mixed Wild Flowers
