Your crape myrtles are beautiful! Also loved the snake photo and the rainbow!debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-9201949383868487362017-12-31T18:49:41.499-05:002017-12-31T18:49:41.499-05:00Lovely to see such summery photos in the dept of w...Lovely to see such summery photos in the dept of winter - although winter here in London is still green and full of plants in flower, just different flowers. If I had a garden the size of yours I would have loved to have lots of 'Raspberry Wine' as Earl Grey is my favourite tea and I drink it every morning - the scent is so beautiful. Your post is full of scented plants and flowers - I could just about smell them from seeing the pictures and read your description, thanks for sharing.<br />All the best for a great gardening year 2018!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-53504299591603096892017-12-31T07:06:29.483-05:002017-12-31T07:06:29.483-05:00What a lovely look back at your summer garden!

I'm so impressed at the size of your Crepe Myrtles that you grew from seed! I had to look up the Blue Grosbeak, as I've never heard of it before. What a wonderful bird to have in the garden! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2018!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-83897738823282053872017-12-31T04:17:22.981-05:002017-12-31T04:17:22.981-05:00That is so beautiful garden !!

That Beebalm is so beautiful! I sprinkled Wild Bergamot and Sweet Phlox in my garden this fall--hopefully they will grow. :) Holiday blessings to you and yours!

I'm still looking for a Monarda that will tolerate my climate - 'Peter's Purple' is supposed to be suitable to zone 10 but I've yet to get my hands on it. I'd love to put in a crape myrtle too but haven't pinpointed a spot for one that doesn't risk interfering with someone's view. And of course I adore your cat!<br /><br />Merry Christmas sweetbay!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-21904985522087297862017-12-22T15:57:27.607-05:002017-12-22T15:57:27.607-05:00Oh!

I have that same Monarda, which I'm planning to move patches of into my front bed some time this winter or early spring. Loved all the shots of the bees and the butterflies and even the snake. What an adorable orange kitty too.

I didn't know you could grow crepe myrtles from seed. I should try some of the seeds from my "Queen Crepe". I love all of your purple blooms and work on adding more to my own gardens.<br /><br />Love your cuddled up kitty.<br /><br />Have a wonderful Christmas weekend and a great 2018 ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
