Flowers in My Garden
May 24, 2012 by babso2you
Spring is one of my favorite times of the year here in the Foothills. It is not too hot, and the flowers start popping in my garden! So let’s go take a look at what flowers are showing off!
We had an ugly green pedestal sink in our bathroom. Being one that likes to recycle, I found a use for the sink!
Other uses for a bathroom sink
The flowers in this photo are million bells, campanula, and fleabane. (If you click on the photo above you will see these little flowers better.) What is great about using the sink is that it has a drain so the water doesn’t fill up the sink!
A red beauty
I am not sure of the name of this one but it sure is pretty!
Foxy Foxglove
I love the beauty of the hanging bells of the foxglove!
Lavender and Yarrow
The combination of Brazilian lavender and the yarrow is amazing!
Diving into iris
The iris are just about done blooming, but I was able to capture one of the last bloomers…
Snaps
Do you know that if you pinch the sides of the snapdragon, you can make them talk?
Thanks for coming along with me. What is blooming in your garden?

The foxglove and snaps are exquisite. I believe the correct term for what you’re doing with that sink is called “upcycling.” (Because they just can’t say you’re reusing it…) You amaze me with your uncanny gardening mojo.
And Mojo is my best friend! Thank you! You should see what I did with the green toilet! Maybe another blog….
Beautiful!!
What a beautiful garden you have! Thanks for sharing it with us 🙂
I had forgotten how much I LOVE the way yarrow looks with anything deep- purple color…I must go get some today, thanks for the reminder!
