A Bunting For The Garden!

Let's take a peek at what's blooming in the garden this week!

I made a bunting for the new picket fence!

I wanted to use oilcloth, but the selection is extremely limited around here, and I would have had to spend a fortune online to get a variety of patterns. So instead I bought this vinyl tablecloth at JoAnn Fabrics. It matches the tablecloth on the patio table, so I knew it would hold up really well outside.

I cut a bunch of diamond-shaped pieces, folded them over the nylon rope and glued them shut. Can you say NO SEW?!

I have a friend who is a floral designer, and she brought me one of these stands used in weddings at her shop.

I got a white pot at Menards and planted purple Calibrachoa and pink Torenia in it. I can't wait for it all to cascade out of that pot!

The orange Asiatic lilies are in bloom.

I think the Betty Boop rosebush is having it's best year ever.

The poppies are blooming too. It was a windy windy day, so unfortunately this is the best shot I could get.

The alliums are blooming too. They're a member of the onion family, so whenever I'm working around them, I get a whiff of onion and I start to get hungry!

Are you doing anything special this Memorial Day weekend? I plan to work in the garden, but I certainly won't be getting sloshed, like these two. She looks like she's talking to that geranium, and he's hiding a sharp tool behind all of that beer. See, nothing good can come from getting drunk in the garden!
