July 2008 in our garden

Posted by Jacqueline on August 2nd, 2008 in Our Garden

Yippee! We purchased some new plants for our garden in July! :)

John and I are always excited when we go visiting garden nurseries. Even if we finally end up buying a couple of plants or none at all does not matter. Just being able to check in and admire all the beautiful and awesome plants and flowers therein in astounding forms, shapes and colors is delightfully satisfying, to say the least!

Though new, but in reality, these recent additions are really old fashioned bedding plants which we have previously ‘played with’. They are neither spectacular nor exotic, but attractive and beautiful all the same and will add variety and color to cheer and brighten our days. Besides, their brilliant blooms, especially the scented lantanas and marigolds will be magnets for butterflies and bees, no doubt about that!

Do enjoy the images of our new garden plants! :D
