Gorgeous pictures!

I DON’T DO FLOWERS, but planted bleeding hearts and tiger lilies earlier this week and my husband just headed back to the lumber yard for more timbers for the bed out front that we put in around the buoy when we first moved in. Forget the pick axe, we were digging the old “timbers” out by the handful. We decided to raise it instead of sinking it and we decided it needed a third row of timber. Then off to the supplier for a load of topsoil to fill it, so I can plant the rest of the bulbs I’ve got. I want to do it before the rains come in tomorrow night. Oh and somewhere in between I do need to pick up the small person from the after school dance.

I don’t do well with the traditional bleeding hearts here in Massachusetts, but the fern leaf dicentra is mistake proof, and lasts all summer.

I really don’t *do* flowers either, but Mr. Bender’s lovely wife has inspired me with her greenhouse full of flats every year. Went so far as to *buy* the seeds ... maybe I’ll get around to putting them in pots.
