More photos of the new babies


One of the hardy hibiscus I bought Sunday evening is in full bloom this morning. The flowers are huge. I got 2 pink ones and a white one...can't wait to transplant them into bigger pretty pots!



Two sedum were potted last night. Now they can get to know their succulent friends that were potted earlier in the season.


The purple coneflowers are waiting to be potted, too. They just look so cute! And here is a photo of the annual salvia.



I bought 5 of this plant stands last Saturday. They were on clearance for about $27 each...such a good deal. Because of that I went to Kmart and got 15 hostas and 15 pots (I cleared all their pots in that style) since it takes 3 pots each. The lady was surprised and she said to me, "WOW you got some works to do!!" It really wasn't that bad...it took me about 2 hours to pot them all, and with a radio standing by, it was the perfect activity for a Saturday evening!

And talking about hosta, I didn't know they grow so fast until I took a photo of two hostas and compared it with the one I took just one week ago...you can really notice the difference in their sizes. It might not be too long before I have to re-pot them again. That potting soil must be really good...cause my mint and parsley are growing like crazy too!



I will finish this blog by sharing a photo of the pretty rose of sharon in my front yard. For the whole past week, I've trying to figure out what it is...now I finally know. They look like twin sisters hugging each other. So cute.
