::Three Paw Taps::
As mentioned in my last gardening post I thought we would move to the back garden this week, it is in full-on jungle mode since we got home :-)
This is our standard Viburnam (about 5' high) that we just planted last June, my parents gave it to Robert for his birthday. For a while there it wasn't looking like it came through the winter so I was delighted when it produced
eleven fragrant snowballs!
We call these Johnny-Jump-Ups, I don't know if that is the real name but they are like super tiny pansies. I never planted these they just appeared on their own :-)
Columbine
Between the Columbine, Astilbe and some weeds I have this plant, which I think might be a Rhododendron! It has never flowered in the three years we have lived here but always seemed to have some buds on it so I never yanked it out. This year it had lovely pink blooms.
The ferns, which are my favourite are almost as tall as I am (5'8")!!!
Another Peony ready to burst open
My Bleeding Heart is almost finished but we had loads of blooms this year
Thanks for stopping by kitties, hopefully there will be more new flowers next week :-)
PS - it has been pointed out that my kitties can not be seen in the garden, well I thought I should explain that because they are city kitties, my boys stay indoors so they supervise the garden from the safety of their windows.

Beautiful! Yoor garden is looking really lush.
Which plants your guys is hiding ? I can't see any of you...Really genius hiding !! Even I use laser eyes still doesn't work !
Your garden is wonderful! Our bleeding heart is done now and the mom cut it back, so we have "only" the hostas to hide under. :-P
We think we'd like to come and hang out under your ferns! Our mom's only 5 ft 3 in -- she'd be swallowed up by them. LOL.
What a lovely garden you have - we wish we had more space cos mum can always find us!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
That is one great looking garden fur sure!
Your garden looks beautiful! So green and lush. I can't believe the size of those ferns! The photos of the kitties keeping an eye on the garden are so cute, too.
We call those flowers 'Johnny Jump ups' too. We love them too. You have lots of really pretty flowers. Have a really fun day.
A,B,C and J....I'm a city dweller too. Mom likes to tell people my precious paws haven't touch the ground since May 11, 2002, MOL that was they day they brought me to my furever home.
That being said there is a lot of snoopervising that can be done from the windows. I'm very good at making the squirrels scurry from my deck when I'm at my window.

Everything is looking lovely. Your bleeding heart looks much better than ours--ours didn't get many blooms this year.
I know how you kitties feel! It is very hard to supervise my nip plant from my lounger by the back door, since I am not allowed outside either. It will have to start peeping up above the planter for me to get a really good view!
Boy, your garden is lovely. No wonder you're pleased. Hugs to kitty boys...
Oh you have such diversity in your garden and it is so lush. WE love the ferns too and that tall those must be gorgeous!

Your garden looks lovely! We have a small viburnam and we love the snow ball like flowers! We didn't realize ferns could grow so well in full sunlight. We have huge ferns here on the westcoast but they are usually found in shady forests. We love them too. Beautiful!

Nice to see the blooms in your garden. Our garden is sleeping....under water :(
Wow! Everything looks so great in your garden!
your garden is just beautiful!!!!! My mom and her friend just planted a garden on our balcony (I supervise from inside too!!) Are we allowed to post our garden photos without being a member of the feline garden society or how can we join? Is it a private club?
Love, Cody
We love your jungle look - so many beautiful flowers!
Thank you for another garden tour. I really enjoy seeing these flowers :-)
We love all your flowers. We are indoor cats too but occasionally we are allowed out in our harnesses.
We gave you an award! Go to our blog to pick it up.
