Fourth of July Garden Walk

Fourth of July is all about family, picnics and being outdoors celebrating our freedom with flags and fireworks!  Wouldn't it be nice if it wasn't so hot?  I do enjoy my garden walks in the mornings when it's a little cooler.  Here's a little tour of what's blooming in my yard this week.



My neighbors surprised me with Yard of the Month...I'm not even done with my mulching and plantings but thought I would share my flag buntings and award.   


Knock out Roses 


Tropical Hibiscus


Red Salvia and a few pansies left from fall.


Hydrangeas have changed to lime green color and I love that they continue to change until fall.  When they turn that pretty mauve color I cut them and bring them in for drying.  


French wire flower basket  filled with 
red impatiens, caladium and sweet potato vine.




Shasta Daisies...can never have too many of these flowers....love how they brighten an area and are great for cutting!


Black eyed Susans and Victoria Blue Salvia 


Red Geraniums and Cleome volunteers


Trumpet vine...great for hummingbirds!



Our back patio and Belle relaxing in the shade.


Sunny border from under the shade 
of our oak tree.


Sweet potato vine just loves our Oklahoma heat!


Crepe Myrtles in bloom....love this
 watermelon color!



Dixie Bell hibiscus...this one is 
a perennial.



Have a  Happy Fourth of July!
Stay safe and hope you are spending this day celebrating with family and loved ones!
