Today, I am joining in the first Share a Garden Sunday hosted by Artie at Color Outside the Lines! Be sure to stop by his beautiful blog to see photos of his wonderful garden and to find a list of who is participating in this new blogland event!
We have had a very rainy Spring this year in Georgia and I am extra excited because we are coming out of a three year drought! Soooo...after a wonderful rainy day, I took some photos of the flowers in my garden! This is my new favorite...my spider lily! I love its elegant, lacy petals! And just look at those spidery, yellow-capped stamens! Gorgeous!
Then on a much simpler note, this is my wild petunia! It's a very hardy perennial that I bought during a visit to Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia. It blooms faithfully every morning, but the blooms only last one day! I love the delicate color!
Of course, what's a garden without this stand-by? I love this particular begonia...with bright green foliage and pink blooms! It is planted in a bed by my front door to welcome my guests!
I am so happy that my pink lace cap hydrangea will bloom this year! An early frost has prevented that the last two years. I will show you a photo of it when it is in full bloom later...lovely!
I have two hanging baskets of this torinia near by back door. It grows profusely and will be huge by the end of the summer. It is a special favorite of mine because it attracts hummingbirds. I love to watch them!
Here is a small, but perfect geranium bloom! I love to have lots of these. They remind me of France because they are planted in window boxes from Paris to the smallest village! Lovely!
And finally, here are my stella d'oro daylilies! They have become so lush and healthy this year that I will need to divide them this Fall! And they are so bright and cheerful! I hope you have enjoyed this look around my garden! Please be sure to stop by Artie's to continue your garden tour of blogland! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time! A la prochaine!
Beautiful flowers, Debbie! Your spider lily is stunning! Happy SAG Sunday
ReplyDeleteWow Debbie, your flowers are just gorgeous. So pretty. I think my favorite is that beautiful Spider Lily. I also really love geraniums. They do real well here in the winter, but then everything does. Not much in the hot summer except Oleander and they grow to be trees. Hope you're having a great weekend. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie! THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL! I have the the Stella's too! Aren't they great!? I've actually got lots of lilies, but those spider lilies are quite unique! I have nothing like that. I'm gonna have to hit the nursery tomorrow! LOL! That's what this event was all about - spreading inspiration! THANK you so much for playing along!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Debbie. I love them all, but the hydrangea is my favorite. Can't wait to see it in all it's glory. Hugs, Kat
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your spider lily is gorgeous, and so unique. I never see them here in South Texas. I cannot wait to see your hydrangea in full bloom. I wish that we could grow them here, I just love them. All of your blooms are so very pretty!! Nicole
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that Spider Lily, too. It sure is unique. I've always been a fan of geraniums, hydrangeas, Stellas, and torenias all of my favs! Very Pretty pix! ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie I love that lily! All of your flowers are so beautiful! I told Susan that my flowers just aren't blooming yet! We've had a lot of rain too! We needed it too! but I know the Atlanta area was really suffering. I have a few daylilies opening up. God Bless! Lauralu :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful beautiful Debbie!!! I love the spider lily and begonias have always been a favourite. Lovely! I am so excited to see the flowers blooming :0))
ReplyDeleteHello! I stopped by from savvycityfarmer ... you have a wonderful site... I'll be visiting again, I'm sure! The garden idea is great! I clicked on "Artie's" link, but it says that the blog does not exist:(
ReplyDeleteI'll check back again to see if it's restored.
Have a wonderful weekend! ~Maria
Beautiful pictures of beautiful flowers -- love your spider lily -- I don't have any of those but you can see why it got it's name.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, Your spider lily is beautiful & love the wild petunia, & it's such a pretty color. Do you have any other day lilies? I have quite a few & many of them came from Georgia! They're getting ready to all burst in bloom at once.

Debbie - J'adore les fleurs - elles sont si elles! Toutes les couleurs sont magnifiques! Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, beautiful flowers and all my favorite colors! Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHI! When I see photos of flowers like these, I'm so moved to get a nicer camera. Might be talking to DH about that! BTW, will work of moving my "followers" deal to the top of the blog. Thank you! Blessings
ReplyDeletethis is a very beautiful display! what great photos!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! We too had a lot of rain earlier and thigs were so lush. Now we are dry so watering is a must!
ReplyDeleteI want to plant the Stellas here this month. We are re-doing our front beds and have added spirea and peonies so far.
Thank you for sharing your pretty garden with us!
Love,
Sue
Hi Deb, these are wonderful, I would have a very hard time picking out a favorite but the spider lily does intrigue me. I remember you post about that before, is that the one from you grandmothers house that has a wonderful fragrance? Thank you for sharing. Hugs Kathysue
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie~~Your flowers are just so pretty!! I love all of them!
ReplyDeleteI have my first blue hydrangea bloom this year. I love geraniums too, their colors are just so brillant and beautiful! My liles have just started to bloom...
Thanks so much for stopping by to wish Chris a happy 20th! His dad and I are still recovering from the birthday and the garage sale~~lol!
Hugs,
Lynn♥
Beautiful photos! I love that spider lily!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful FLowers!! Alas...I have none, as my TEXAS Leaf Cutter Ants have been hard at work. WOke up yesterday morning and my Knock Out Roses were stripped bare to the bone!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all out war now!!
Have a great Sunday!
Linda
Uh-oh, you're making me want to go to Lowes and Home Depot. Lately, if I need something from there, I force myself to use the entrance and exit on the far side from the garden center. I cannot resist buying more plants! I'm trying to be a good girl! The rain has made my garden grow like crazy this year.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I am not familiar with the torinia. I have the stella d'oros, although they are not blooming yet.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are gorgeous, Debbie!...Christine
ReplyDeleteGirl, you've got it going with those plants! Very pretty, Debbie. Those lilies are a wonderful color. The torinia grew in profusion in my flower bed one summer, and I used to have the cutest little round glass bowls (I found for a dollar each) which I would fill with it and take to people. Fresh flowers always make people happy! Love yours...
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Oh these are stunning photos. I LOVE! I was in Georgia last summer for my son's graduation from Fort Benning. I could not get over how GREEN it is! And a little "moist" shall we say. **blows kisses** Deborah
