Flower beds





Because it rained a lot in early spring, grass and flower beds are thriving.  Poinsettias love the hot, humid weather.  I actually considered throwing away my smaller poinsettia plant but it had one leaf.  Since it fought so valiantly for its sole leaf, I put it outdoors next to the larger poinsettia.  It has grown many green leaves.  I thought I would summer the orchids outside also.  The very day I put the orchids outside, we got hail which damaged and pock marked the leaves. Even so, I know they are happier out in the hot humid weather.  My daughter brought the hosta plants from her home 500 miles away.  I planted them and they are shooting out flowers.  I planted impatiens in the front of the house and placed a combo pot that my children gave me for Mom's Day.  I think I need a greenhouse. I was looking at them online along with she sheds (man cave for women).  I am driving out to the farm after work for one more practice with Dorie before the Sunday show.  I will practice barrel racing and backing, trotting in for show.
