Bits and Bobs

Upon our return from England in April, Linda had arranged some of the spring blooms into this beauty:

The front door surrounded by geraniums and the remains of buckethead, the beloved pet cow from Chris’ granddad’s farm:

My third or fourth attempt at growing hydrangeas. Katie has a number of these scattered throughout the Broxwood garden and they look lovely. They are really too delicate for Texas, but I thought I’d have a go in pots: 

Uncle Larry is getting ready to sell his house and posted some photos of the garden. I spotted a bird bath that would be the perfect size for cloverleaf so I headed out and got my own: 

The dining room window now has a couple of african violets and an orchid taking up space. Chris has done a much better job than I ever have at keeping orchids alive: 

An oldie but goodie. These cannas were in the house when I moved in almost 15 years ago. I go through phases of thinking about taking them out but then they go and provide such a burst of color that I decide to let them keep going:
