I thought we would start off visiting some of our friends flowers and then go down to the pond, some of you may even want to take a dip in the pond later cause it is in the 90's here.
Mayor Furter aka Frankie sent some flowers for The Flower Show, so I thoughts we could start with them. He even managed to arrange a butterfly for our viewing pleasure.
Frankie said he thinks these are in the phlox family, whatever they are they sure are pretty.
I had to ask Frankie what the pretty yellow flowers were cause I didn't have a clue and he says they are Blanket Flowers. I am going to have to insist that we grow some next year. They are drought tolerant so they should be a welcome addition to one of our flowerbeds and they looks so cheerful.
Frankie's butterfly sure does like these flowers. You can catch up with Frankie at his blog Frankly Speaking.
Speaking of Frankie he has two gorgeous WIVES, Ruby & Penny and they brought these along. Sheesh who knew doggies could be so small. I thinks Scylla is as big as they are.
My girlfriend MoMo lives in Australia. Guess what, their seasons are opposite ours in the States so while we are headed for a LONG HOT SUMMER they are getting ready for winter. MoMo sent some gorgeous flowers to share.
Bob and Sam blog @ Play Safe Dogs and Bob (Roberta) sent along one of the best looking dogwoods we have ever seen.
Be sure to visit their blog as they have some terrific tips on keeping safe.
Gizmo, Bart, and Ruby (Rottrover) have some of the most amazing flowers. They lives in California.
And Sammie brought a whole field of wildflowers with her.
Sammie & Avalon live in Northern California, and they have been exploring their own backyard. From what we have seen of their blog they live in a beautiful area and we are looking forward to seeing more of their adventures.
Jonesie is President of The Society of Feline Gardners and blogs at Cory Cat Blog. She sent us some flowers and they also did a post so be sure to check it out. There are 9 cats and their woofie Grete, + their humans of course.
Now lets mossy down to our pond................................................
Daddy planted some wildflowers on the back side of the pond. Only a few have come up, we hopes one day it will have lots of company like the ones in Sammie's field.
Keep an eye out for snakes, I thinks this is a Queen Snake.
The pond has too many water lilies in it, but I thinks they are pretty.

I am helping Mommy weed. I has a really important job, I has to meow encouragement at her so she doesn't give up. I also provide company for her while she weeds, so she doesn't get lonely. Unfortunately Eldest Boy Bean's puppy is interfering...
- Hummingbird Cottage ~flower Show Day 1 In The Afternoon
I (Artemisia) figured we would start off with the main attraction at the Hummingbird Cottage. That would of course be the Hummingbird. Our Mommy actually managed to catch him in flight. He is a very fast fellow and is constantly zipping around. If you...

The Wisteria is simply gorgeous when it blooms, we wish it bloomed all year. The Verbena in this bed is doing better. We needs to get some more to feel in the gaps. Bugleweed We got too much rain at one time and the pretty blue flowers and the Phlox died....

This is a Christmas Cactus.
Coleus
The leaves on the Coleus are gorgeous notice the pretty colors and patterns, but the delicate blue blooms make this plant a real winner in my book.
Hibiscus
White Roses
MoMo blogs at Mieow with help from her SS (Secretary Slave).
Bob and Sam blog @ Play Safe Dogs and Bob (Roberta) sent along one of the best looking dogwoods we have ever seen.

Beavertail Cactus Bloom
Cholla Bloom
Unknown Succulent
I thinks these cacti and the succulent are absolutely amazing. Mommy says that some types of cacti you can eat. She got some at the grocery store one time for her and the boy beans to try and she said it was good once you got past the stickers.
And Sammie brought a whole field of wildflowers with her.
