Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

What happened to the plant in the middle with the round heads? I bought one of them at Walmart for my fairy garden and it and a few mini marigolds are the only flowers that made it this year. Your pots look great! And I love your sunflower bonquet further up.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what a couple of months will do? Your container filled out so very nicely!!!
ReplyDeleteDianne, the "eyeball" plant is off to the right side of the birdhouse. I moved it about 3 weeks ago because it was getting lost in the middle. Just last week I deadheaded it and am saving the seeds. I like the plant and probably won't be able to find it next year.
ReplyDeletePea, thank you. I am always amazed at how fast they grow. Of course, it does not seem that fast while I am waiting.
wow...that's really impressive!
