Welcome to our Gardens Galore link party! I have so enjoyed all the beauty that you all are sharing! It is extremely hard to choose features when every link is feature worthy! Be sure to read all the way to the bottom to see how to enter the Giveaway!
Last week I shared My Happy Place • The Summer Garden
Now on to “picks” from our last party!
Janet from Rosemary & Thyme creates some of the most gorgeous tablescapes in blog land, and this one is no exception…look how stunning!
I have been to France several times and have yet to visit Monet’s Giverny…how has that happened??? But thanks to Jeanie at The Marmelade Gypsy‘s fabulous photos, we can enjoy the beauty without leaving our chair!
Speaking of chairs…
…Musings of a Vintage Junkie shared a photo diary of her July Garden…and you talk about creativity! AnnMarie’s use of chairs is fun and whimsical!
I was totally smitten by Sandra’s shot of her 20 + year old spider lily. Be sure to check what’s blooming at Dinner at Eight!
And now I get to share with you such a fun little treat! Last Friday, I had one of the sweetest surprises I’ve ever had here in the blog world. The extremely talented Jenna @ The Painted Apron featured a painting of one of my gardening pictures on her Fearless Friday, Pam’s Hydrangeas post.
And it’s available for sale in her store! (Trust me you want to check out everything she sells!) The painting she did of my limelight hydrangeas is available on 11 items to purchase…iPhone cases, stationery, throw pillows, prints, clocks, and more! I will be purchasing several of these items for myself, but it was a hard decision to pick what to offer for the giveaway, but I decided on this adorable tote bag!
So, how do I enter the giveaway? I’m so glad you asked. I will be posting a different question at the end of each of my posts this week and when you comment and answer, you are entered to win! So you have 3 opportunities to snag this oh-so-cute tote bag! We will do a random drawing of all of the entries and the winner will be announced on Tuesday August 1. So let’s get to it!
In the spirit of all things gardening, today’s question is…

Now, let’s get the party started!
I love this party. I’ve been so excited to get my blog up and running and join it! Thank for hosting, Pam. My favorite flower… now that’s a tough one because I have so many favorites. But if I have to pick just one, I’ll say oriental lilies.
Good mornimg, Pam. Another great installment with your garden party. It’s been such a good growing season (not all are), so I’m happy to be able to join my friends here at your party. Thank you for hosting us.
My favorite flower? Hmmm, must choose the heirloom purple iris (this year’s choice anyway).
🙂
Well, I guess it is no surprise hydrangeas are my favorite flower. I love all the varieties and colors.
Thanks for the Garden Party, Pam. It is so much fun. Can’t wait to read all the links.
Love your giveaway! Jenna, outdid herself. That is exciting!
Pam, Jenna’s painting of your hydrangeas is swoon-worthy! My favorite flower seem to change with the season but I’ve never met a hydrangea I didn’t love. Summer’s favorite flower for me is a limelight hydrangea. My favorite flower for spring is the peony! I purchased one of Jenna’s totes from her Society6 shop and it’s a fun way to enjoy the blooms 🙂
Wow what a nice giveaway! What is my favorite flower- that’s a tough one since I like so many but I really love hydrangeas so I’m going to go with that! Thank you again for hosting this link party!
How fun, Pam! I can’t even name a favorite. I love so many flowers, especially the favorites of my mother and grandmothers – the daisy, the iris, and yellow roses. They are very special to me because of treasured memories! I do love hydrangeas, so if I have to pick one, I guess that one is closest to tops on my list. How sweet of Jenna to paint your hydrangeas. Love the fence in the picture, too. How fun to have a reminder of two favorite bloggers in one! Also, thank you for hosting this fun garden link party. 🙂
Thank you, Kim! I love all the inspiration that has been shared!
I am beyond flattered Pam! I am thrilled you liked the painting so much you chose the tote for your giveaway! Thank you for all the kind words and the links — I know your party is quickly becoming everyone’s favorite! As for my favorite flower, that is a tough one, I LOVE flowers, but roses are my favorites, with hydrangeas a very close second…your features this week are fabulous, just love that tablescape and the chair! Have a wonderful week, and good luck to all the entrants!
Jenna
Thank you, Jenna! Roses are always a favorite of mine!
Pam, my favorite flower is the gardenia.
Good Morning, Pam: Thanks for hosting this lovely party and I finally figured out about linking up. So much to learn as a new blogger.
My favorite flower would have to be peonies. I am completely in love with this fabulous plant and have been since I was a young girl. I know they don’t last long in bloom, but my goodness they are worth the wait. I am like a kid at Christmas every year when they arrive. Honestly, even after growing them for almost 40 years, I remain in awe of their magnificent beauty. Also, they are a hardy and tough plant, with a life expectancy of 80 plus years.
Have a beautiful week and many thanks for all you do. You add much to many days !
Sandra, I am so glad you were able to link-up your lovely post. Peonies are worth the wait!
I’ve so enjoyed this garden series. Thank you for hosting us! This week’s features are fabulous. The spider lily is amazing, the table setting has me inspired to set another alfresco table soon, and the give away is sheer delight. I admire Jenna’s talent, and love hydrangeas. I wish we could grow them here, but the heat is just too much for most varieties. My favorite flower? That’s a really difficult question, Pam. I love so many depending on the season. Tulips, hydrangeas, and of course hyacinths are at the top. Yellow roses were always a favorite between my mom and me after we lost my dad. It was our secret message of sending sunshine to each other to brighten the day when one of us felt sad.
Sarah, thanks for sharing that sweet memory of yellow roses. I am loving the garden series!
I love your wonderful garden party.. and look forward to it each time…. thank you for hosting this and showing your lovely garden pictures as well. HOW does one choose a favorite flower? Hmmm…. very very difficult choice… there are roses, of course, and lilies… hydrangeas, phlox, morning glories, and oh, so many. I think I would have to say that my favorite, though, is probably the Blue Lobelia. Surprising, isn’t it? The little flower doesn’t have the impact of other flowers… but I just love that wonderful blue color and how it complements the other colors in my garden and it is one of the first I plant each year. 🙂
Pam, thanks for all your inspiration. My favorite flower is the red spider lily that come up in the fall. Pat
Good Morning Pam. Still loving all your post. Favorite flower??? I love them ALL????????my lifelong favorite is impatients because my Mother grew them before I can remember. I must say all the beautiful Hydrangeas run a very close second.
Pam, thanks so much for featuring my garden this week! It’s an honor to be included with such a fantastic group of gardeners. I look forward to each of your parties to see how differently we approach our gardens. While overall design is important, I admit it’s the flowers that draw me in! So how do I choose my favorite one? I’m always partial to the one that happens to be blooming today! Though an iris will always make me linger longer.
Thank you Sandra, it was a pleasure to feature your garden!
Hi Pam! So glad you are doing the garden link party! My favorite flower is the daisy. They are such happy flowers, they bloom a long time in the garden, and they are super easy to divide and share with friends! This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! Blessings, Becca
Good morning Pam. Thank you for another garden party. Your picks were marvelous. I have already visited many of these today. So so happy I can be a part of something so special. Roses are my favorite. Dianne
Hydrangea is my favorite flower, I hope to try the strawberry and vanilla variety.
This is a difficult decision, because I love all flowers, but I would have to pick sunflowers. They always put a smile on my face. I really enjoy this garden party. Thank you, Pam, for hosting it.
What a pretty party, Pam. Thank you so much for asking me to attend! I am in awe of all the lovely gardens and swoon-worthy color! Your tote is lovely, what a fun giveaway! Favorite flower, huh? I would have to say tulips! Red, of course!
The tote bag is pretty. My favorite flowers are a tie Morning Glory and Pansy.
Marion
Gladiolas are my favorite flower. Thanks for the giveaway.

Hi Pam – Hydrangeas, of course!
Oh Pam, thank you so much for featuring me this week! A delightful surprise! I look forward to checking out all the fun links you have here.
It was my pleasure, Jeanie!
I am so thrilled to be featured on your beautiful blog at the Garden’s Galore party! Thank you so much. How wonderful to have your pretty hydrangeas treasured forever in cute products. I love the tote. My favorite garden flower is the daisy, particularly the Marguerite Daisy.
Hello Pam, Thank you so much for featuring my table this week. I am truly honored and thank you for hosting this pretty party.
I can see why it would be difficult to choose. There are so many beautiful posts. The inspiration here is incredible beginning with your own charming garden. What a gorgeous place to relax in and enjoy nature. Love your hydrangea painting.
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs,
Janet
Janet, your tablescapes are always exquisite! I am excited that we have connected a small community of gardening enthusiasts! Blessings~
Hi Pam! Any and ALL Hydrangeas.
Beautiful pictures and very interesting links to explore! And my favorite flower is… every flower! Nature is such a miracle ???!
Amen, Donna!
Thanks for hosting!! My favorite flower is a daisy!
Thank you, Pam!
Lovely party, I haven’t posted about my garden in a while, too much other stuff going on right now with Christmas In July wrapping up today. But, I plan to update the garden this weekend and will link next time.
Pam,
I too have enjoyed all the beautiful garedens featured. We are redoing our front yard and adding the vanilla strawberry hydrangeas after seeing how gorgeous they are in your yard! My favorite flowers are zinnias, because they remind me of my grandmother’s beautiful flower beds.
Zinnias are a favorite of mine, Pat! You will love the vanilla-strawberry hydrangeas!
Pam, I love your Gardens Galore series. My favorite flower is the daisy. Such a happy flower!
Such a treat to visit your Garden Party, Pam! Thank you for hosting! I’d have to say my favorite flower is my bright yellow dinner plate Dahlia that blooms each year. Its blooms are sometimes 10″ in diameter, and they just dance in the breeze!
Rosie
Hello Pam….another lovely post! I enjoy your blog and want to thank you for sharing your talents! My favorite flowers are white hydrangeas and the Limelight varieties too! They are wonderful in the garden and I enjoy bringing the blooms indoors. The tote is beautiful! Have a great week!!
So beautiful! You’re very talented. My favorite flowers are tulips and crocuses — you know, it means spring!

What a beautiful blog party! I love to garden too. I suppose my favorite flower is lavender even though it’s really an herb. I plant it everywhere I’ve lived.
Karee
My favorite flower is the bougainvillea because it blooms for such a long time here in Florida. Oh my…we are kindred spirits. I love gardens. I don’t garden, but my husband does it all. (I supervise…LOL). I’m a new follower. I’ll be back to join your link-ups.
Blessings,
GG
Gail, my next Gardens Galore Link-up is next Monday, August 7, 8:00 am central time! I hope you can join me!
I would have to say that I love daisies, Pam. I guess I always have and always will!
Daisies are so happy, Kitty!
