In my early gardening efforts, I didn’t appreciate what caladiums could do in the garden. I thought they were boring. But over the last few years, oh wow! I’m still learning, as I am with everything in life, but I’m loving the variety that they bring. In my Zone 8 garden, these tropicals usually come … Continue reading Six or Seven on Saturday: Caladiums

Six On Saturday: One Place in Twelve Months Part 1
Besides showing spectacular flowers, some of my fellow Twitter gardeners come up with some clever ideas. One who goes by @AlbertSnail (aka Sophie) presented a new hashtag in early January, #1PlaceIn12Months. Participants could choose one spot and take a picture to post on social media each month in 2022. I thought it was a great … Continue reading Six On Saturday: One Place in Twelve Months Part 1
Six on Saturday: Pretty in Pink
I have lots of pink right now - pinks and pinkish shades. It's a joyful color, don't you think? Psalm 66:1 says, "Shout for joy to God, all the earth." Maybe the earth shouts in flowers. Shalom, Dottie
Six On Saturday: “June is Bustin’ Out All Over.”

So I started down the narrow path between the nandinas and the flower bed, just past the new wooden gate. I had to move some … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Plus a Couple More
Six On Saturday: Quick Six May 14, 2022
Just a collage today with six things from my garden. This week I've put in overtime out there because the summer weather is quickly approaching. I'm trying to finalize planting for a while and continuing to make the beds more presentable. My six photos are (1) Easter lilies (2) Abelia (3) Frosted orange azalea (still … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Quick Six May 14, 2022
Six on Saturday: April Slips Away
I’ve been taking a much-needed break from social media, but I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to review my garden on this last day of April. The first part of the month served up several severe storms, but the weather has been beautiful in the last couple of weeks. We’ve replaced one of our … Continue reading Six on Saturday: April Slips Away
