IN THE BLOOMIN' GARDEN - FLOWER POTS ON THE FENCE

All credit for the work involved in planting and upkeep of the garden goes to Grandpère, who is a gifted gardener and a very hard worker.  The idea for flower pots on the fence may have been mine, but I can't say for sure.

  2. Dear Mimi,

    Thank U for posting these pics of Portulaca, I used to grow it and I had forgotten about it. Next year for the window boxes! Too funny, this year my daughter planted something that is blooming like crazy, but we don't know what it is and so every time we turn into the driveway, one of us will say something like: "Boy, IT is really beautiful!" but we still don't know what it is. Maybe the mystery adds charm...

    1. nij, I'm not good with names of flowers, and we've had blooms that we couldn't identify. I posted the pictures on Facebook, and my friends there helped with the name about the same time that GP remembered.
