IMG_0740 We're expanding the garden a bit at a time. IMG_0741 Canna lilies are lovely.  We have them in pink, orange, red, and white.

IMG_0750 IMG_0751 IMG_0752 IMG_0753 IMG_0758 Christmas bouquet from our garden. IMG_0754 Wild morning glories line our driveway. IMG_0774 We have a cutting and soon this flower will grow in our yard too. IMG_0775 This, I think, is a wild pea. Its flower is the same shape as a variety of wild pea that we know, and it also grows on a vine, but it is a much larger flower, about 2 inches wide, versus about a half-inch.  And it is violet and white, versus blue and white. IMG_0776 Bouquet from our garden for the new year 2008.

With the land cleared of tall grass, it's the first view of our place from the south looking north. By our return, there will be a wall along our line of leafy bushes.
