The Changing Seasons is a monthly challenge hosted by Cardinal Guzman. The rules are simple. Choose an area and every month take pictures of that area.

I chose my flowerbeds. Starting in January they were quite barren. Six months into the year and they are busting with blooms!

Autumn Sage and Knockout Roses

Gerber Daisy

Yellow Roses

Oleander

Joseph’s Coat Rose

I have 2 new additions this month. The first is a little Bald Cypress. We found it on sale at Walmart for $5.00! And the little guy is quite healthy.

The second is a Hardy Hibiscus. I have killed many hibiscus. Each year I swear I’ll get it inside before the first freeze and every year I fail. But Tina found me this Hardy Hibiscus. She was told it should survive a Texas winter….lets hope for the best!

In case you question the chicken wire around the plants….remember I have a Labrador Retriever named Sugar!!
