Vtecmom, the +1 and I went for a mountain drive today up on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia) and there were acres and acres of wild foxglove with HUGE bloomstalks. All of them were white, but they were OUTSTANDINGLY beautiful. I'd never seen them blooming in the wild. I would have dug up a few, but the federal preserve is weird about stuff like that, so I left them. Wish I'd had my camera, but didn't even think of taking it.

yeah I have seen white ones before in the wild as well

Glad you din't yank any wouldn't want you in jail

I agree! Fancy camera, or just good at picture taking or both?

I use a Canon Digital Rebel, it's about 2 years old. I don't know about the "good picture taking", but everyone tells me I have an eye for it. Glad you like. I will post up more. I went outside yesterday afternoon and took some pics of the plumeria blooms.

We have a few lavender plants. They are rather small. Not sure if they are getting enough sun where they are.

Ugh, good thing I posted up my grass photos when I did. I fertilized this past Saturday. I watered real good, but I burnt an area of the back grass. I could cry.

I used 26-13-0 fertilizer. I always have, and have never had a problem. Just water the heck out of it.

It will come back. I leave lawn fertilizing to my +1. He's the real gardener in our house, and he's had a few "accidents" with fertilizer too.

I took some pics yesterday of my neighbors yard or flower bed. She spends alot of time taking care of it everyday and she has some very pretty flowers. I'll try to post them within the next day or two.

I couldn't handle it, so I went out and bought 3 yards to sod. My Dad installed it last night.

gotta have a green lawn!

We are starving for rain in this area.....we've been watering frequently, but the lawn is still burnt in many areas. Hubby is ready to replace it with rocks or astro turf.
