Mary's Flowers 09-04-10

Mary always has flowers in her deck boxes and I always enjoy them, but never find the time to plant any flower boxes for my house. Mary was bemoaning the sparsity of the flowers at the end of the summer - here are lobelia, English Daisy (bellis perennis) and the last few little dried stalks of sweet alyssum.

They look much more lush against the green of the great view across the valley.

I had a giggle at this darling blooming cactus - the flower is glued on. It is a clever sales idea - I wonder how long the glue will last.

I once had a bunch of cacti. They all died: that is not supposed to happen, is it? Black thumb!

The glue will probably hold for a while - pretty funny.
