Cut Flowers from my Gardens

Good morning!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and stopped to remember the reason for the holiday. Thanks is not adequate for all those who have served to protect us. We had a busy weekend. Sat. was the picnic at our clubhouse with almost 70 in attendance. Sunday we went to a picnic at a friends house. Today, Joe and I went out to lunch, did some shopping, then had friends for dinner.  After they left I made another hanging pot for the front porch (with flowers I bought today), put a load of wash in and am now doing this post:)  I walked around the yard and decided to cut some flowers to bring in and enjoy. Being in the woods for 30 years, I never had flowers to cut and enjoy, except my wonderful hydrangeas. Rhododendron:
 Knockout roses, love these and never had them before.
 Purple salvia.
 Dark pink rhodo.
 Pretty combo on my runner
 Purple iris.
 I brought them out to the deck table to get a few more shots.
 My neighbor is making these wonderful leaf bowls. I bought one to put out here and placed it on a stand. It reminds me of a lily pond leaf so I put my CHILLIN frog on it:)


 A gerber daisy from a friend.


 These are the flowers from the pyracantha bush (firethorn). These will all be berries in the fall!!!!



 
Thanks for stopping by. I am joining:

    Ooh I always love to see flowers from the garden. I should cut more of mine but I just enjoy seeing them outside and forget to bring them in once in a while. That leaf bowl made me take a double take! My sister in-law made one for me and it looks very much like yours! The frog sitting in it is adorable. I need to bleach mine a bit since it's gotten discolored over the past couple of years.
