A Single Rose and Tip of the Day
There is so much inspiration and beauty to be found in a single rose in the sunlight.
Hope you are having a bright bold and beautiful {almost Autumn} day...
Tip of the day: "Stop feeding and pruning your roses around the end of August to discourage new growth that will suffer from Winter damage. Leave the last of the flowers on, to turn into hips. The hips are the roses seed pods. By producing seed pods, the rose bush thinks it's done for the season and can start to go dormant." source

Bright Ideas: How to Care for an Orchid
I was so excited to receive this elegant orchid from a friend for my birthday. It goes perfectly on my desk, and even coordinates with my watercolor painting on the wall. I did some research on how to care for an orchid, since {I am afraid to say} this is my very first one! Sonia Uyterhoeven, Gardener for Public Programs at the New York Botanical Garden, gives great watering and fertilizing tips.
Watch this video on How to get your Orchid to rebloom.

Bright Ideas: Bud Vases Centerpiece
I love the look of multiple glass vases with bright and colorful flowers for a festive centerpiece like this one! The sunlight bounces off the glassware and reflects the warm rich jewel tone colors of the dahlias and zinnias.

Beautiful Impatiens in Window Boxes
Happy Wednesday! I love these window boxes full of impatiens. In the right shady spot, impatiens can flourish and bloom all Summer long! Did you know that Impatiens are the number one bedding plant sold in the Unites States? They are perfect for beds, hanging baskets and container gardens and window boxes.

Mint Leaves
Growing up, we always had mint planted in our backyard. Pinch off a couple of leaves and drop in your iced tea for a cool and refreshing summer drink! What do you use your mint leaves for?
