My Favorite Corner Of The Garden (this week)

I'm so friggin' tired of working in the yard. Well, just tired in general. My body is beat. Who's idea was it to do this open garden tour anyway? My house is trashed, there's piles of laundry to wash in every room, and now I have to go make dinner. What I really want to do is take a hot shower and climb into bed. Or, just sit here and close my eyes. I'd be out in seconds.

If you garden, you know how easily we can change our minds when it comes to favorite plants, spaces, corners, etc. Sort of similar to liking the kid most who's behaving the best at the moment. :)

I rearranged some pots in the backyard and this is my favorite spot right now.

It's four pots total. One is up on a little table. One pot is Cuphea by itself (the tag is MIA). One is a mixed bag Coleus and 'Landmark Rose Glow' Lantana. One is Tri-Color Sweet Potato Vine and 'Floral Carpet Yellow' Snapdragon. The last is 'Nymph Coral' Salvia and another mixed bag Coleus.
I have this particular Lantana in pots, and in the ground, and they're both doing equally well.

I really wish I hadn't lost this Cuphea tag. All the plants I bought at Xera have missing tags. Which means I put them someplace "safe" so I wouldn't lose them. The flowers on this one look like a little critter.

It's like a bat, hanging by his toes.

These photos aren't technically in the same corner, but they're also another spot on the deck that makes me happy right now.

Yes, that's one of my Lewisia blooming, again. Seriously, Grace, how can you NOT love this plant?!

Next to it is my broken pot garden that my mom gave me last year. It's a little overgrown, but still cute.

There's also more of the 'Nymph Coral' Salvia in a pot right next to the little table. I love it. Both this one, and the white, are definite annual winners, as far as I'm concerned.

And that's it for today. I took a bunch of pictures out back after dinner last night, and this morning, so more yard posts will be coming soon.
Oh, and FYI, I did get that hot shower, but no bed. I made Philly Cheesesteak Sammies for dinner and sat down to finish this post. Now, according to the eldest, it's movie time.
Shameless plug alert: Just a little reminder that you can purchase my floral photographs in my Etsy shop. If you see one in a post that isn't in the shop, shoot me an email, I'd be more than happy to list it for ya.
