A Stunning Mountain Garden

~ Everyday Living, Flowers, Gardening, Summer

Happy Thursday sweet friends. I hope it has been a good week, so far!

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:103‬ ‭

I love visiting gardens and I am excited to take you to one where the air is cooler and the humidity is lower.

Oxeye sunflowers, also known as false sunflowers, thrive in this mountain garden! Although not a true sunflower, this plant is native to the eastern and central US, easy to grow, and deer resistant…making me think we need to plant it next season!READ MORE

“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!””
‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:31‬ ‭

Happy Sun…day to you. Large heavy sunflowers bloomed at the top of these stalks. When they were spent I cut them since they were only pulling the plants down. We’ve never had a variety that produced numbers of smaller flowers below the main attraction. It is hard to see them all but this stalk has 8 flowers. I told PJ it reminds me of a totem pole!READ MORE

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭90:1-2‬ ‭

You might want to grab your sunglasses and I will provide a tall glass of sweet iced tea as we stroll through the garden. Let’s take a look at one of my favorite summer flowers…zinnias, the garden’s most colorful mix!
