as promised...

...a better picture of my purple clematis... STILL exploding with blooms!

and more pictures of my gardenia (oh the wonderful smell!!)

(above) see the blooms in the middle of the plant?

sooo pretty and sooo proud!

on a "sad" yard note... had to finally ditch the flower boxes today... it just didn't work out this year those poor plants were BLACK they were so dead! although i must say, i would rather lose those than stuff i'd planted in the ground!

that's it for now... mom's coming over wednesday... no tellin' what she's got up her sleeves! ;)
