Flowering Garden

Clematis's abound in my garden! 




 Two blueberry bushes almost ready to pick, except for the big black birds that swooped in and ate almost all the ripe berries!! 




A picture of one of my gardens in my side back yard, mostly the pink flowers are blooming but I promise there are more color flowers than pink! I will take a picture of the butterfly bushes that are on the far left side when they bloom, so pretty!


And a new bird house from a recent trip to New Hampshire, it is already occupied.


 I hope you don't mind the pictures of flowers and no sewing projects, but I think flowers are the reason I love fabric so much. I mostly choose fabric with flowers! Inspiration comes from my garden!

    Oh what a beautiful garden and landscape. I love flowers too and yours are just beautiful. :0) The birdhouse is so sweet and your blueberries look delicious. I usually race the birds to my bushes as well. :0)

    I am so jealous of your beautiful backyard and those vigorous clematis! I love clematis but can't get them to grow at all. Please do share as many garden pictures as you can. After all, we are working on the Garden Steps quilt along and a little inspiration never comes amiss!

    Such beautiful shades of clematis, your garden is gorgeous! I love flowers sooo much and do think there is a link between them and a love of fabrics...each inspires the other!

    I love the pictures of your garden! Do you know the name of the clematis in the first pic? And do you have any tips for making them bloom so prolifically? That is alot of blooms...I have a Nelly Moser and for some reason it does not bloom like that. :( I'm jealous!

    Clara, you're a woman after my own heart! Please never stop posting pictures of your garden. I'm the same way --my flowers are always inspiring me! Your clematis is gorgeous.

    Do these bird houses really work?! The hole looks so small, can the bird get in there?
