I'm so jealous. Your garden is a riot of color and variety. Mine is hunkering down for winter already. I have a few roses and of course the hardy mums in bloom. Everything else is begging for tidy up and a button up with a good winter mulching. Thanks for sharing this bright spot in the day.
Have a wonderful trip with your sis.
Lovely Lovely! Have a good trip!
wow you know your flowers
Wow!!! Great pictures, great photographer, great gardener, great artist...you rock, Alice! Have a great sister trip. Stay safe. Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us.
All beautiful. My flower beds are a tangled mess from the storm and dying plants. When Molly comes in a couple of weeks I am hoping to get it all cleaned up.
Have a ball with Chris. How lucky you are to have each other and be able to take these trips. I talked with my sis today. I miss her a lot. In fact I miss a lot of people a lot.

Looks like your gardens are still in full swing. Hope you and Chris have a wonderful Sister trip
Looking good, Alice! I hope you will bring some of that Seattle rain back to Oklahoma.
Have a wonderful time on vacation, be sure and take plenty photos (tee hee!!) :love:
What a beautiful and lush garden you have. I really like the Lantana and the Mexican Hat is really cute. All of your flowers are rich in color and photograph well. Very nicely done.

WOW!
When I think of a heavenly garden, I think of your yard and you! You are certainly a master gardener, and when you meet the Master Gardner, it ought to be a good show!
Have a fantastic time and thanks for sharing.

You two have chosen a perfect time to come to Seattle - it is having beautiful bous sunshine and could not have been better. Have a wonderful time.
Your flowers are stunning - while I have several of these, they are mostly all done and shutting down for the winter.
Beautiful flowers. Enjoy your sister trip.
what a LOVELY garden!! :applause:
Obviously I'm confused, but I thought flowers bloomed in the spring?
I really like the Gaura.
Even the name is pretty~ <3
Have fun in Seattle!! Your flowers look so beautiful! I can't wait to have this baby and recover so I can start work on my garden again. Your garden is such an inspiration!! :sunny:
You left for a trip but with a festival of flowers as a gift ..
Thank you Alice
