Scylla Sunday (Flashback) & What Mommy Got at the Herb & Garden Fest Saturday
I loves to sleep in Mommy's flowerbeds.
The flowerpots are pretty comfy too.
Except when Mommy waters them.
I am looking forward to the butterflies returning, they should be here soon. We have seen a few of the small yellow ones already.
I loves the Fall Flowers, the Ironweed is a special favorite of mine.
I loves the way they smells.
Mommy wants me to pose for her.
Mommy thinks I looks pretty with the flowers. She went to the Herb and Garden Festival in Ocean Springs yesterday. This is a list of the plants she got, she was very bad cause she said she wasn't going to buy anything.
- Cranberry Lace Bee Balm - It blooms in the summer and fall so we will have to wait awhile to actually see it blooming in our garden. Mommy hasn't decided where to plant it yet.
- Trailing Tibouchina Centradina floribunda - Mommy got a hanging basket to put it in. One of it's names is Trailing Princess Flower and that is probably what we will call it.
- Red Cestrum Cestrum newellii - Mommy is going to put it in a pot as it is a tropical/tender perennial.
- This is our favorite of all the plants she saw and that she brought home. Butterfly Flower Clerodendrum ugandense , we bet you can't guess why it is our favorite? It will go in a pot too as it is a tropical/tender perennial.
- Chinese Bell Flower - Mommy should probably get a pot for it, she was going to plant it in a flower bed, but it's a tropical too. She had one a long time ago, before she had the green house but it died. She didn't recognize the name at the Herb and Garden Fest It is also known as a Varigated Abutilon
- Red Firespike - It's going in a pot too.
- And the very last one Mexican Sage, Mommy is planting it down at the Hummingbird Cottage.

Some of our friends were upset when Mommy complained about all the rain we got. They lived in areas where they are in a drought and they thought Mommy should be thankful for the rain, unfortunately to MUCH RAIN is just as bad for plants as too LITTLE...

Mancat Monday
Somebody asked if Scylla is the main garden helper, the fact is we all lend a paw. While Scylla lays in the flower beds and talks to the plants, they really likes that. I roam the yard looking for problems. I tell Mommy about fire ant beds so hopefully...
