I'm so pleased to be one of your stops on Garden Tour For A Cure and think some PINK Columbine would make a good start!
"Home and Family" white roses
and a mosaic birdbath created by my sister-in-law.
I also like the red color of this daylily.
Smilin' Sunshine is a long-time friend and, over time, has been all over my garden. I purchased this clay piece in San Francisco 30-plus years ago.
This is a photo of my first peony cutting of the season.
Under our deck is where the house plants get to spend a few months outdoors. I'm pretty sure they like it...they seem to stand a little prouder out there.
Clematis.
Iron stepping 'stone'.
Asiatic Lily.
My butterfly bush hasn't bloomed yet this year so these are pictures from last summer, but I just had to show you the way it attracts butterflies and the occasional hummingbird!
Cleome, "spider flower".
Hens-and-chicks, succulents.
Iris and Allium.
Iris, are you ready for your close up?
I've posted this photo before, but little squirrel friend insists on playing a part in all of my garden tours.
Yellow daylilies.
The squirrels and birds frequently plant trees for me. Not always in the most ideal spots, however, this was a good one from last year. I wasn't sure if the tiny thing would survive our harsh winter but I think it looks pretty good so far.
Ivy ground cover and pampas grass filling in around the bird bath and, sometimes, squirrel water bowl.
I think these are Lobelia.
Large coffee cans, painted, decoupaged and filled with periwinkles.
Just a common Stella de Oro daylily but I love the color!
Another "Home and Family" white rose.
The tour concludes with more PINK and more peony cuttings. I love the fragrance! Can you almost smell them? I wish that you could!
I'd like to thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you will check back with Deena to find more gardens to enjoy!
And remember...
Thanks, Deena! This was a lot of fun!

Marilyn, your garden is stunning! The clematis is really pretty. For some reason, I've not gotten one to do so well here. I love all of the accents throughout the garden -- the mosaic birdbath is beautiful! And the coffee cans!! -- I may have to copy you. :)
