Flowers in the garden

Two months ago, I posted photos of some of the herbs and fruit trees in the garden. Those photos show the herbs still in pots and troughs. We have since replanted them, interspersing them with the ornamental plants to give the garden a more pulled together look.

When the herbs were replanted, we had to uproot a few ornamentals to give way to them. No regrets. I’d rather have edible plants in my garden than ones that are just pretty to look at. There are ornamental plants, however, that I chose not to disturb — the flowering plants that can really refresh the senses. Here are some of them. If you know the names of the nameless ones and you don’t mind sharing, that would be very, very nice indeed.

    We have a lot of those strange white flowers, too and they really bloom profusely we always use them to decorate the house. Look strange, so they easily get noticed and appreciated.

    The spider lily, you mean? So they don’t wilt fast when they are plucked?

    Wow, I’ll remember that. Thanks. They’ll look good in a tall slim vase. :)
