Shenandoah Valley Flowers

My blogging friend, Judy, is a Master Gardener and quilter. Her blog is fun and interesting. Here is her link for those interested in beautiful gardens and quilting projects. She also talks books.

Her post today has both garden flowers and quilting projects she has done, and it inspired me to share flowers from my garden currently in bloom. I am walking in the wild side though because I am not a master gardener, though I do love my flowers.

The hostas are blooming.
My maidenhair fern is a yearly joy.
I love the silver leaves of this yellow yarrow.
This sweet, little heart leaf foam flower is nearly finished blooming.
Gentle, delicate heuchera (coral bells).
Happy clematis.
I let it roam over my oak leaf hydrangeas.
The lovely white clematis.
A perfect day for hanging out laundry!
A surprise greeting from Max from under the huge hosta leaves.
The rosemary is very happy!

I also keep a vegetable garden. How about you? Flower gardens, or vegetable gardens, or both? I have always said flowers are for the soul, vegetables for the body.

Thank you for the inspiration, Judy.

Did you know this? Gardeners spend all day in their beds!

Happy gardening.

  3. Well now you know I love Judy and you. But now I love your flowers too. She wiil be thrilled you shared all about her.
    And I chuckled at “Do you know that gardeners spend all day in their beds?”

  4. Well, what to say except thank you. We are kindred spirits for our love of all things farm related and nature. I always look forward to your posts that include your animals. I miss having big animals. Your plants and flowers are beautiful and show the love you have for them. Perennials are like old friends that come back each year for a visit, and we love them for it.
