Gardening Pictures Past & Present... Tuesday 8/16/16

Welcome to our Tuesday picture thread. We invite everyone to post the picture or pictures of their choice.

For some reaso my stock this year hasn't been as pretty as in the past but its still not to bad.

[Kathy_SD]

Steve that stock is very pretty especially compared to how mine look. The plants are large and healthy but very few blooms on them.

I have 2 pink dipladenias and they are doing good, continuous blooms.

[Gayle]

Both are pretty pictures.

Marg, your screen shot of the "boxes" was good.  I get them too but some here don't.  We found that out a few days ago when I tried to explain them & some were saying  "what boxes"?  LOL  I do my re-sizing on PB these days but still getting used to it.

I finally uploaded pictures to PB but now I can't remember which ones I've posted.  So if you've seen it before pretend you didn't.

When I come out my BR in the morning my view is straight down the hall & out the sunporch window.  Right now this is what I see every morning.

Steve, I sure would be happy if I had Stock like that. Very pretty. Do they come back each year?

Love your pink Dip Kathy.

Nice view Gayle, very pretty.

Clematis

Steve that stock looks beautiful to me.

Kathy, your pink Dipladenias are gorgeous.

Gayle, you have a lovely view there.

Donna, I love the color of your Clematis; the blooms look so delicate.

Steve-That stock is a lovely pink.

Kathy-Nice dips! lol

Gayle-Nice view.  What is the pink flowering tree/bush in the front?

Donna-I love that clematis.  So pretty.

Mary-That blue deph is a great color!

Some pics from Blue Mounds State Park in the far SW corner of MN.

Rock cliffs



Nothing for scale, but the rock on the ground is the size of a small car.


Bison live in this park.  They have a really large herd, but this group was dirt bathing close to the viewing platform.



This tiny church was on the roadside in the middle of nowhere.  It has 2 rows of pews inside, a 2 seat pew, an isle, and a 1 seat pew (so 6 people could sit total).  It was pretty neat.  A place to stop and rest and reflect.

Steve...I think that looks pretty darn good...mine are taking a break right now.
Love all the pretty flowers and great pictures of MN...that little church is sure cute, too.

This is a glad from the bag I got from Walmart for $5 last Spring...love the colors!  I have been impressed with those bubs...20 for $5.  A real variety of colors and lots of flowers per stalk.  This one had 20 flowers.
