Right now my lavender is in full bloom. It's so beautiful! The bees sure are enjoying it! I've harvested some to put in a little pair of ceramic boots on my front doorstep. I've put some in little vases in the house as well. I've got daisies, roses, fuscias, calamatis, Jasmine and honeysuckle blooming too. The hummingbirds love the Jasmine and fuscias. Hostas are getting ready to bloom.
What do you have blooming in your garden?

Haha! I have this pretty orange flower blooming but I don't have a clue what is are called! They were starts from my mom and I don't remember the name. My honeysuckle was ready to bloom but then the earwigs ate it again this year. A lot of my stuff is done for now and fall things won't bloom for awhile. I need more things that will bloom in the middle of summer.

I have two different kinds of pretty orange flowers blooming in my garden too and I don't know what either of them are! lol It's so sad the earwigs ate your honeysuckle. Is it a fragrant one? I think mine's a Florida honeysuckle. The flowers are a mix of pink and yellow.

It is fragrant. I don't know what kind the honeysuckle is. Its a young plant itself but originally a start from a very old plant. It was at the house my mom grew up in when she was a kid and we had a start from it when I was a kid that grew huge. My mom got a start either from my aunt or the house I grew up in when they moved back in 2002. Mom gave me a start of that one a couple years ago. Happily, my still alive and survived the earwigs last year and was looking great earlier this spring. It should be okay in the end, but it really looks sad right now. If I remember right, the flowers are yellow and pink too.

So that honeysuckle that had been eaten by earwigs - it has new growth on it, just in the last couple of days! I noticed yesterday that it has lots of bunches of new leaves on it!
It is just kind of strange. The original source of that plant...how pathetic it was looking...my mom's recent passing...and now the new growth on this particular plant, during some of our hottest days this summer at that. God gives us reminders of His presence and love in so many ways. I can't pass this off as mere "coincidence."

DD and I visited a lavender farm on vacation. SO pretty. It made us want to go visit another one closer to home. We went on Wednesday last week. I bought a lavender plant for home. I need to plant it... I am so worried I will put it somewhere that it won't grow. It needs well draining soil? Is that right? Like a sandy soil? Or is it ok as long as there is no sitting water?

I've never been to lavender farm before but I imagine it would be lovely I'm not sure what kind of soil it needs other than it needing to be a well draining one. Sorry I'm not much help!
