sharing my thoughts through words and images

I love testing out new plants for the garden. I planted a section along my picket fence with a grouping of annuals and the Lavatera is finally starting to bloom. What a pleasant surprise! It makes a nice back of the border specimen with the fence as its backdrop. I bought the plants in a 4-pack and it appears I have two pinks and two whites. The dreaded Japanese beetles have discovered them but so far they are not impacted too much.

They are looking great Lynn. I grow them from seed and they are always highly successful.

Thanks! I love them…they do not seem very fussy at all. I just keep knocking off the beetles! 😉
