More Garden Pictures

I wish these pictures did more justice than they do, but the backyard continues to look nice. In fact, it is our favorite hang-out in the evening.

The phlox is really blooming, but you have to look at just the tops. Still not sure what is going on with them. I need to put some mums in the front right corner and then a birdbath in the back left corner with some irises around it and I will be done.

I really like this basket of purslane (portulaca oleracea). The yellows and pinks are a lot brighter in real life.

I have always wanted some elephant ears, so I have really been enjoying this pot. That's more purslane down at the bottom of it.
