Flowers

July 18, 2008 by Leslie (LadyMin)

The flowers are looking good. Until this week it hasn’t been exceptionally hot and there’s been lots of rain.

These are in a whiskey barrel in full sun.

I didn’t have enough begonia to fill the flower boxes, so I added some spider plants from the house. They are thriving and seem quite happy in the full sun.

The next two are in the perennial bed. They get about 75% sun. If there is rain at least once a week, they don’t need any watering.
