Changing the Planter

By Skeeter

Last year was my first try at growing lilies in my Georgia Garden. The Saint brought them home to me after running an errand at Lowes. What a Saint indeed...
You all know I am a "Learn as you Go" type gardener so I was not sure if the Lilies would return this year. To my delight, they arrived and still show me a bloom or two even though the Dog Days of Summer. I do believe this is Stella.
Since I had luck with the Lilies, I decided to add more to my Semi-Formal Garden. I selected a planter and put in 2 Darling Deception, 2 Pandora's Box and 2 Blueberry Candy. They never bloomed this year but seem to be growing well.
I planted 5 of the Serena Angelonia that I talked about a few weeks ago to the back of the Lilies. I thought they too were purple but a lighter purple almost lavender or pink instead. I recently noticed the difference in colors. Duh, you would have thought I would have noticed that sooner. But with them being further away, I just did not notice until snapping pictures. We have spent less time sitting in this garden and more at the patio this year. That is my story and I am sticking to it. lol. To the front of this planter is Dusty Miller, Red and White Begonia. Here is a close up of the pretty flowers that have pleased me all summer long with their beautiful blooms.
The Lilies only give me green foliage for now so Serena is a welcome to the area. Tomorrow, I will show you where two more Serena's are located. I really do like CHANGING THE PLANTER, In the Garden...
