Wildflowers Again

I'm trying to document these as they pop up from the ground. This wee little red one started about one week ago and it's all alone. The only one in the forest. Size of the flower is like that of a quarter, maybe smaller.

Here's one up the driveway that started about the same time or a week ago with two flowers. Seven days later it's grown to many. Grows on a vine. Once again all by it's lonesome...not a relative to be seen anywhere.

And this one showed today or yesterday, or at least I didn't notice it. I'll try and find some names later. The one below was growing near the above.

A Visit With The Flower Lady

Located on the corner of Ga Hwy 52 and Possum Holler Road (sounds country doesn't it?) we had a chance to meet the flower lady Monday morning although I cannot recall her name. This project started 15 years ago when she moved from Atlanta after retiring. There's more in the backyard but I didn't get that far this time.

The old water wheel is not functional, but gives me ideas. There was a place up in NC I passsed while going through the Smokies that sold stuff like that. Probably not a good idea as the creek would tear it up during heavy rains.


On to flowers, nearly all perennial. I'll see if you can guess...In the meantime I'm on the disabled list too after an attack of chiggers a few days ago. Time for some projects near or in the house.

On The 15 Day DL

...well maybe a few days. Mom is out of commission, too many chigger problems and it ain't pretty around here when she's grumbling about those things. In the meantime, the ferns are large and colorful this year as seen on the pathway to the east side of the house.

Lawn doesn't look pretty closeup, but it's weed free. I figure I have enough spare time, forget the weed killer.

Some planters....

Not complete... need suggestions. This is an ongoing project that's taken a week so far.
